In retrospect, I think the linkshell did fail you Kaelsam. You did post here and you posted to the lsmes and you got no response. This is unacceptable. At the very least people should say sorry I can't help.
What I am a bit upset with was the way you seemed to let the anger fester inside of you until it blowed. When it finally did blow I don't think I was so far off base to assume it was because of the silly Merc Quest that no one knew how to help with and because of the immature comments from Suranx. There was no warning, no tells to say "Hey Claq, I'm thinking of quitting the shell." Instead it was just, "I'm gone and I dropped the shell."
I would urge anyone that's unhappy to express their concerns to me or Piraya or Aelfwise or another sack holder. I for one am a softy. If you corner me and explain to me how I can be of help, I won't drop what I'm doing but I will be easily coerced into setting aside a time when I can help.
As far as leechers go, there are some people in the shell who I don't count on to help. They are the hoppers, the people who just aren't willing to commit. I personally dropped all my other shells about a week after Piranha gave me my first pearl (to DeathInarnate) and after that got switched to WanderingSouls I haven't held another social linkshell. Eventually I assume I'll have a couple Sky, Dynamis, etc special event type linkshells, but I remain committed to WanderingSouls as my one and only social or hangout linkshell. For the many members that don't share my loyalty, if they are getting on and asking for help then leaving as soon as they've gotten their help and never offer to help anyone else then they should be kicked for leeching. On the other hand, if they pop on and tell a funny story then leave without asking for help or giving it, I don't see a reason for kicking them.
