I think getting involved with hnm shells back in the day ruined it for me. But there was a timevwhen I thought the same Dray
I kinda liked hmn shells, as long as you didn't want anything. Although really what this game needs is more shells that do multiple events with a schedule rather than a point system, since everything can be done with 6 or less people really. That was the downside to an end game ls back in the day (besides lollsbanks).
You could show up to a bunch of events in which you didn't need anything, and all for the shell. But when it came time to showing up to something in which you wanted something, you'd get stuck on the bottom of the list because suddenly people who had build up points, but hadn't shown up to any events in weeks would want everything. So it kinda become tiresome.
The shouts on Levi are kinda broken, unless you can convince people hey there's another setup that will still get the job done. Otherwise you best be a RNG or BRD with a i119 relic.
I'm working on it though, convincing people to try new things, lol.
