This sound like a typical strong NA LS...(is it a NA timezone based LS?)
Sometime i feel weird with those strong NA LS/guild , they have top gear/weapon or first LS defeat the No.1 Boss in game, but once outside of their guild they can't do anything.
For example in FFXI there was a raid called "Nyzul", JP just shouted or joined in the town and got full members in 3 minutes, these TOP NA LS have to arrange time with their LS members and don't forget that everyone have different living. In addition nyzul is restricted to 6 members only, LS leader will tend to choose members with better gears or his closed friend, the rest members have to wait second or third rounds if leader still willing to help or they make their own team, each round usually take 2-3 months to complete. Of course this may happen in JP LS too, but JP players got alternative choice that many shout in town they could just grab and join one or shout by themselves.
My advise is go to an environment that u could communicate with as many people as possible rather than the only LS/guild/community u know. It is impossible to let everyone like us or to like everyone even if we have try our best, someday when there is conflict of personality in LS, we decide or asked to leave because we are less-important people eg not an event organizer, at least we can still find other LS or play with many other players even without LS, which is also more convenient and flexible for people who unable to make commitment.
yes i used to be in a very strong NA ls but we have around 5 JP member that time, the ls is so big that we needed 4 pearls to maintain, each pearl are represent for something. timezone are mostly base on whole day depends on that day. what is "once outside their guild they can't do anything?"
Nyzul wasn't really called raid, and Nyzul is really easy and it can be done on "pug" (pick up group), for events like Nyzul we usually just post up ls chat checking who is interest n if no one is interest will just check friendlist, only do "pug" as last alternative coz truthfully, we don't really want to screw up things although we don't really mind ww. there is no who gears best who in or ls leader choose who he want bullshit w.. we dont choose who n who, you up you get point, stuff drop, priority point persons lot. fair n square, simple as that.
People also can do shout for only camping Fatnir/Nidhogg why not Nyzul, n it actually went pretty well. I done this with a temporary so call HNMLS with almost 16+ jp members and 2 members from NA. I joined for fun and the LS was up till everyone get the stuff they lot for. I still remember the LS leader was a JP, and we only use the translation try to communicate. luckily it went well ^^ i even went to some of their dynamis run as guest.. got few good stuff from it.
seriously, base on what you guys reply, you all just scare with favouritism, am i right? actually i really dunno how to explain this w, my relationship with the ls member also start from 0. i also dunno who n who are them, most of them are also real life friend. i'm like the only asian people in the whole ls w. tho they're asian but they live in na. we also work very hard on exping, camping pop item, help out this n that. too many to tell. tho most of us quit, we still chat around saying hi.
i seen alot of up and fall on every major end-game ls, not just NA.. it happen on JP ls as well. it's really depends on how you see things. just relax ^^ w that's why i said a good leadership is very extremely important in one ls. you got a good leader then you're set.
me n my gf just really just want to play with more m'sian, coz after all will have more people to play at night time coz she work n i don't. if u guys are setting up a new ls, hopefully we can be in a same world so we can apply to join in. ^^ why i am recruiting people mainly becoz well my ls had pretty good foundation to start with + we can play together with other region people. never afraid of not enough people to team up. i don't really like "pug" except no choice.
i always believe a weak players can be improve coz if someone can do it why not others? our ls rarely gives up on weak players, it all depends on whether you can accept people advise. always good to discuss strategy beforehand n this is for very small events such as exping or on a quest. events such as dynamis, or killing hnm, you are require to follow what officer ask you to do, coz your officer are the main guy who will responsible for everythin n report to ls leader for that events. i dunno how to explain here. we can accept mistake but if you keep repeating the same mistake again n again n put the whole alliance in jeopardy, then good luck www ^^ i do take a person attitude highly coz to prevent drama happening tho i know this is very hard to escape. we never had a drama on item dropping due coz everyone need to accept the point system.
so excited ^^ coz ffxiv is so close to release date, feel like xtc n nightmare for me ^^
