FC leaders are completely powerless? When will this be patched?

I would like to move our FC to the mist because it seems SE refuses to make changes to make the goblet more attractive and i'm tired of living in a ghost town. So when i made the decision to start packing i realized i have inactive members with stabled chocobos and purchased private rooms. These members haven't been online in 20 plus days and show no signs of returning. So basically i'm stuck (and will most likely lose out on the property i want) because i have NO POWER. Is there some work around until SE decides to fix this? Oh yea....this is bull shit by the way. >_>

They're actually aware of this issue and are working on an update for it. I dont remember where my source is though.

And awww, I think the Goblet is pretty, personally. I like all the housing areas :)

Yep I like the Goblet we're in the west wing and against my own wishes I wanted Gridania but the price was right so we settled in the Goblet. But that's good news about the update.

Just another case where SE puts in content without any foresight into how it can make things worse.

I believe when it comes to the fix they are planning, they'd say..... "Please look forward to it"...... </sarcasm>

I believe it is coming in 2.35, which is coming in about 2 weeks.

We will be releasing the feature so that free company masters can remove players with private chambers in patch 2.35. We also expect that the feature that will allow masters to remove players who have stabled their chocobos will be ready at the same time. Separate from this, we will also be looking into making it so the FC master can remove the chocobo from the stables without removing the player from the FC.

The amount of food you can obtain from gardens can be increased by using certain soil. We will look into making it so you can obtain them through other content; however, we would like to maintain the way gardening functions as content, so we will not be making adjustments so you can get a large amount of this food. (I.e. sell them in shops, etc.)

We’re still looking into some of the other requests brought up here, so please give me a bit and I will get back to you with any information we receive.

Still what protection do you have if some FC master was drunk with power? Unless you have to not have logged on longer than 30 days.

All one can do is hope neither the FC leader nor the FC members are assholes.

Then I guess you better be careful which FC you join.

My FC is run by several people. We do have our leader, of course, and when it comes to removing someone from our FC, we give them an allotted period of time before they are fully removed. (Except if they've been inactive for a certain period of days...unless they contact us through our website letting us know that they will return)

I'm hoping there'll be conditions for the rooms. Chocobos don't matter because you can't lose those. As a player I don't want my 300k plus furnishings subject to the whims of my FC leader(s). If FC leaders will be able to kick room holders indiscriminately that's worse than the current situation.

If FC leaders are kicking people out indiscriminately, then they aren't an FC I would want anything to do with.

Well, what power did you have before? If leadership agrees to remove you, that's just the way it is. It may suck for you, but you can't force a hostile environment by making other players suffer your presence just because you want to be a troll. Find another FC that you like and don't be a tool there. This content should have never been introduced if it wasn't ready. SE is going in a terrible direction these days.

It isn't about trollish players... It's about trollish leaders. Some Masters don't make the most intelligent promotions and I don't want to lose my Gil and furniture because a ranting officer with boots got trigger happy.

Then don't purchase housing in the FC house. SE has already stated that personal player housing is coming someday. This idea that you should have the RIGHT to remain in the FC when leadership doesn't feel you are a good fit is just reversing the very complaint you are presenting.

Who knows what set people off these days and with private housing and a marriage system. This is looking more and more like The Sims with each patch.

My dumb ass apparently. I believed a certain patch would improve the look of the goblet so i wanted to get the best house there in anticipation for it. After that patch landed, It just improved the night sky or something like that. No real noticeable or relevant changes were made. I also posted a petition on this forum but it seems a handful of people actually like the goblet so it was just my mistake i saved up my money to fix. Thinking it's just my personal preference our FC decided the mist is a lot more aesthetically pleasing! So we gathered our money ready to move but NOOOOOOOOOO. We're held hostage to our own home like we're on house arrest until SE decides to fix this dumbassery. They also need to allow FC leaders to ban certain members from FC chat too. sheesh....>_>

They're heading for rock bottom at a pretty impressive rate it seems.

If there was any real MMO competition, they'd already have sunk.

I honestly don't understand the hate for The Goblet. I think it's the most awesomest housing area! And on my server at least it's far from a ghost town.

Well, rock bottom was 1 week after the launch of FFXIV 1.0 when we all realized we were playing the worst MMO ever made. However, it's hard not to notice the increasing number of blunders over the last couple months. Either they are rushing out unfinished content, or they just turned off their brains for a while.

If I was gonna dump 15m Gil on a house, it'd be in the Goblet.

Its for people who dont like stone or sand.......

ummm, I think in this case you would want to suggest that these FC members seek another group that would be a better fit for them.

A small consolation, but I believe somewhere they said that if your FC room is removed, your furniture stays in one of the NPC vendors in the area, free to pick up. I mean obviously you're still out 300k and whatever gil you spent on wallpaper, flooring, and lighting fixtures, but at least it's something.

I think the system is shaky in that either leaders have too much power or members have too much power, I think the best solution would be to "suspend" personal rooms so that if you leave an FC or get kicked your room still exists until you join a new FC or get a new FC house, then it's just back to the way it was. Kind of like you just take your room with you wherever you go.

Did the ability to remove chocos get added? My FC leader didn't see where it was capable of doing it, so wanted to doubled check. Anyone know?

You have to boot the member with the stabled chocobo.
