I'm not even going to bother trying to explain anything, just go read about it here if you really want to know more: http://rukenshin.livejournal.com/ The last two updates are posted by one of the leaders of that linkshell/guild/clan/wuteva.

Firstly, this is Sylphet from the linkshell Beyond the Limitation on Seraph server. That is the name of the linkshell, not The Sylphet Guild. The leader of the linkshell is Lhexh, not me. The above quotes were taken from posts and a private message on Blue Gartr Forums: http://bluegartrls.com/forum/ We appreciate that much of the community agrees that this is a bit out of hand in terms of what is to be expected from players. For the record, this was a specifically scheduled event on a Saturday at 3:00 pm since we anticipated a long fight (just not that long). Most of us are in fact working adults. Our linkshell has never and would never expect our members to give up aspects of their real life for this. The end result of this specific event was just staggering to us. However the press it has gotten since is even more staggering. Wow talk about things getting a bit out of hand. Firstly, this is Sylphet from the linkshell Beyond the Limitation on Seraph server.

Not only the grinding that sucks the life out of you but waiting for parties. I had a friend who waited 8 hours for the leaders friend to come online. But now this. I can't imagine any of them with jobs, or will have their jobs after this. FFXI is really unforgiving. Not only the grinding that sucks the life out of you but waiting for parties.

I am glad i gave that game up years ago. It took our guild (a couple of years ago) to beat one of the bosses in the release FFXI version, close to 4 hours. After that, i quit. Wow.
