Kicked for not giving my gil...

So after 8 months of being with an fc I was kicked because I didn't give them my gil. Nobody was ever on for the last 6 months and me and my friend were the only ones to recruit or maintain the fc. I had even put in over 1.3 million gil in cleaning choco stables (before they were cheap), and another 800k plus in furnishings and donations that were conveniently forgotten.
I helped in raids, leveling, and anything else asked of me whenever I was available (I spend most of my time helping people anyways). The reason they kicked me is posted on their fc facebook page (all about money), but they are trying to cover it up with the rest of the fc by saying other things...
(This is mostly just me ranting/venting but feel free to discuss or share similar stories)

In today's episode of "As Eorzea Turns"

Sounds like you got kicked for the better. Who wants to be in an FC that treats you like garbage anyways? There are more out there friend.

Already in one, no less than 5 mins. after being kicked. I only stayed with them because they needed help. I just find it amusing how greed can blind.

People who do this suck but all you can do is move on.

glad you found another fc ppl like that don't deserve to have you there
gj :o)

If your in the EU you could switch the Phoenix and join The Academy - we're a good friendly FC without the greed :)
[We have a large house, good members who help with content across the levels, all welcome :)]

But yeah your old FC sounds shallow and kinda bad if its all about the gil :(

I've always had a problem with contributing hard earned gold to a FC (or guild) that can kick you at a moment's notice for any reason. Better be a good group of friends, or I'll keep my gill to myself (not like I've got any to spare anywho).

AAwwww, sorry OP I hope thigns get better for you.

If you dont mind my asking, why did they want your gil? How much where they expecting? Was it to purchase a new house? Perhaps they requested all members dish out an equal amount? A little back story wouldnt hurt. I'm finding it hard to believe an FC leader would just randomly kick a long standing member over gil? Are you a gillionaire? 4star crafter with 300million? Did they expect you to purchase a Mansion by yourself? lol Sorry if that sounds nosey.

What's the point of giving gil? I mean, I'm all for helping anyone out if I am able... but ultimately, if the fc leader chooses to take everything you have absolutely no recourse & no way of getting any return.

The fc leader can sell everything, including the house, land, any furnishings... they can then use all the funds to buy up high priced items on the marketboard, transfer everything to an alt, load up the retainers, then change servers & take everything with them. And there's nothing SE will do about it.

You should post the name of the Server & FC you were kicked from. Buyers beware sort of Drama XD

you don't seem to be on Ultros, so ^5 Fran!

In my opinion this thread has absolutely no purpose if you don't say the name of FC. If you don't want to say the name of the FC or if it is against the forum rules, you shouldn't make this thread.

I just think that forum should be used for other purposes than 15 year old girl's diary when we will read that her boyfriend changed his race or that she was kicked from FC.
No hate intended.

That's right! Either make a thread about cash shops or how 1.0 was so much better or GTFO!

I've seen FCs that do that nonsense (donate or else!) and I bailed on them the moment I saw that noise. I don't mind guild events to raise money if they're voluntary (Team treasure hunts, Spiritbonding sessions, etc).

As someone who has booted a few members from an FC / guild in my day, there may be other forces at work here . . .

I tend to agree. I've led my fair share of shells and have nearly always been in some leadership capacity, and I've yet to see even the most controlling of ls leaders boot someone for not contributing gil. I have a feeling there's a lot more involved here than just that, especially if the OP donated the amount of items he claims. I'd be interested in this facebook page that was mentioned.

There's some other contradictory stuff in there as well, such as

Ok, so it was empty.

Ok, so it wasn't empty, if you guys have enough people to raid.

Ok, so the reason is "money".

but they are trying to cover it up with the rest of the fc by saying other things...

---

Ok, so it's actually some other things leadership didn't like but you don't agree that these other things exist\are valid.

Sounds to me like we are missing a good portion of the story.

Yeah, I'd bet you're right on that. Threads like this and many of the "I was vote kicked for no reason!" leave out the bits that make the poster look bad.

Watch out, the internet forum police is here. I don't mind players being warned that they should completely trust who is running an FC before contributing stuff that you will never get back.

OK so ppl are wanting more of the story, that's easy enough. I just wasn't given much room to type it out since 1000 char limit. So answering a few questions, they wanted 3 million gil from me. No it wasn't in equal shares and nobody was specifically asked to donate or told they had to. Since everyone was so rarely on and when they were it was only for 1 run, and any new members I recruited left because they never saw the fc leader, I wasn't given much more incentive to really donate to an fc that MIGHT actually do something eventually. Sadly the only reason the fc leader and his 2nd never log on is because they play warframe all day instead. I have no problems if people wanna play other games, but as an fc leader some presence is nice otherwise don't try to be so serious.

Sadly however there really isn't much more to the story, but the 6 core members of the fc are all real life friends who have known each other a few years which does make it difficult for new members or players to come along and feel like they fit in. They almost completely ignore the new players, I wasn't even invited to 90% of the raids they did because they wanted it to be an all friends thing. That's fine by me since I also had a close friend in the fc who needed my help leveling and gearing up. I spent almost all my time helping people in one way or another, either by leveling or gathering materials or dungeon/raid grinds. The demand for gil was random and out of nowhere, but I believe it was out of frustration as well. They were 3 million shy from getting their mansion...well kudos to them because if they do get it they'll just have a very big, very fancy, and very empty fc house.

Don't post names, this will get you a temporary ban from the forums for violating the ToS regarding harassment.

Like complaining about someone starting a thread in the "general discussion" forum of a game that they play? Oh the humanity!! Did this automatically open up when you came here, or did you actually have to click on the topic to read it?

One more reason why I stay the one person FC, I decide what and when to give. Lets go burn their house down. May not accomplish anything, but it will sure be fun. Who's bringing the marshmallows?

isn't that were a FC made by RMT in order to get just your Gil? It explains very well why they don't care the Gil you spent but the Gil you put in chest :)

This whole situation just reminds me of a great FF web comic called 8-bit Theatre in which a scene where Thief (the FC) springs out from behind a bush and attempts to rob Fighter (the OP) with the iconic line...

"Your GP... or your HP"

On a serious note, I'm glad you found a new home that treats you like a person, not an NPC.

well...in truth I was really only in that last FC because it gave me constant free access to extra garden plots...doesn't mean i was any less loyal or active but hey...i liked my gardening...
one of them also randomly messaged my best friend (who they also kicked from the fc, just because they were associated with me). This is a person that hasn't talked to my friend in over 3 months and was 2nd in command and most involved person in getting us kicked out...Basically he tried to turn her against me.
Hint: When you randomly message someone after 3 months then make passive aggressive statements towards their best friend after a situation like that, it's a teeny bit obvious what douchebaggery you are trying to pull. xD

On a side note: why can't people just let these things go? *makes another post*

As i did with my FC, People want a house? Chip in, otherwise its gonna take longer, bought a medium house which i and one other member paid for like 90% of it? the rest chipped in barely. Not gonna make em, But if they want it they better chip in.
