Hey ppl, i had an idea that probably wont work but if it would work i think everyone could use it.
Huge linkshells probably dont have the problem but from what i know most people have hard times to recruit people for BCNM/KSNM/ISNM etc..
Most of the times you start by shouting in Aht Uhrgan, second party member goes to Jeuno, next you start to ask in all different linkshells you have till your party or alliance is full.
This can be pretty anoying and the result is mostly the same, you do a familiar fight like ODS.
There are a lot more tho, hard fights with a lot better drops (since only a few do those) but the problem then is, try to find the ppl...
Good website for this + that display what every drop is worth:

Maybe someone thats planning to setup a linkshell would like to do the following thing cause i suck myself in setting up something like that.
A BCNM/KSNM etc.. Linkshell.
So this is not a social, endgame or w/e shell but just a shell where everyone that want to recruit or join a fight can pop on in.
This would only work if as many ppl as possible have a pearl.
Also, even if you own this linkshell you are not the direct leader of it but you do give every single person a Sack so everyone, doesnt matter what your lvl, stats, nice or anoying you are, can give a pearl to everyone without it.
SE/POL warned about that linkshells cant be too huge but i dont think there is a problem if you only pop online in this linkshell when you seeking help for only these kind of battles.
Maybe it will be easyer for ppl to recruit partys and alliances for every kind of NM.
I think the shouts/spam everywhere for these types of open events would decrease and the not populair bcnm kinda battles would be more populair.
Again, no idea if this would work but if anyone have the time to try this, please do :)
