Pfft.
Speaking of my LS, I like our officers and most of the members, but something is souring me on the LS in general. Not necessarily loot distribution-wise, but like... a member came back to FFXI after 3 years, who used to be in the shell. They let her in despite her not meeting the requirements of the shell, because she was in the shell when she quit. That irks me on its own, but she was fast tracked through trial and made full member after a super short time (3 weeks). Trial for me lasted a month and a half, and I went to every single LS event during that time.
Now, another former member not meeting requirements has applied, and wants to bring her friend who doesn't meet them either. It's looking like they're both going to get in as well.
Now I'm not normally all wanting the LS to never get new people, but it just makes me mad sometimes. I was friends with someone in the shell for a long time, and I didn't even consider applying until I had everything covered.
