People seem to be thinking that the benefits of the level 3 links are exclusive only to the class that has them. No. If you want the link skill, you can make the class yourself and link them over to your main. If you're dedicated enough and value to the benefits of having a level 3 link, no one is stopping you. If you make it that far, then you deserve the link.
The problem arises when some individuals think they are entitled to a level 3 link--and feel entitled to it with a level of work based on standards set by themselves based on their own playing patterns.
"If you... don't have the drive to get to 210, then I suggest you play on your own server so that you can always be the best and set your own difficulty bar--alternatively, you can go see a psychiatrist. "
That implies that it's a simple goal, "If you don't have the drive to do this then you're not trying hard enough," the whole point of link skills is to give you the option of giving them to your main, why make a skill which evolves so hard to obtain? This is like saying, anyone who doesn't play new classes can go eat dirt because new classes are obviously superior.
Let me just level all 12 link skill characters to 210, to reap the most benefits of them all. And, how you say, be worthy of having them.
Level 170 is a hard enough goal because you have to become attached to the character you're playing, due to you having to actually train it. Even level 120 is a nice challenge, albeit it's not a "difficult" challenge it still has the reward of saying, "I got to 120 on a class I utterly hated", doing that for a level 210 Xenon link skill (In my case, I hated xenon) makes no sense to me. The whole argument that "It's there you just don't have to do it" is very stupid, it would make sense to have a motto like that for skills that are generally reachable, many players haven't even got to 200, let alone will they ever reach 210. What am I to do? Just wait until another RLH event comes out and spend all my savings on it to get the best link skills? I don't think so. They're pointless. That's my opinion, and it won't change.
