Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

Woah, hey. I'm okay with community members being critical of each other, but why are you calling that person a "goon"? Don't you think that is a little unnecessary and rude, Molly_Millions? You really need to learn some manners!!

Read the thread, that's what they call themselves, and why it's in quotes.

oh gawd, something awfuls? rofl

Have fun Excalibur


Been playing with members of your cummunity for years, not an actual member, never really cared to be. With that said I've had some fun in the past with many of you.

During phase 4 of testing, spoke with several of you on Dust514 and was asked if I was going to be on excalibur, they said would be a few others from SA with them.. but damn , didnt think that many haha

So looking through I found this gem from PBC back on 8/23


[PBC] Please Be Careful is not recruiting

While I have been deluged by requests from all and sundry for a spot in Excalibur's most exclusive, prestigious Free Company, I regret to inform you all that Please Be Careful has met all its quotas for raid recruitment, full-time craft professionals and summer internships. If you are still interested in joining, please look forward to being placed on our waiting list after submitting a gaming resume and three references from former guildmasters.

Real exclusive there if you're at 512 of 512 and overflowing.

Please do not complain simply because you lack the requisite references from former guildmasters.

As it stands, the FC limit is an arbitrary number the prevents us from managing our community more easily. Currently, we have to rely on generous people who are volunteering their time to pass messages back and forth between the FCs. This shouldn't be necessary and FFXIV is hardly a primitive MMO that's lacking in generally accepted features.

Why do we need a large FC? Because we have a large community. It's inevitable that not everyone who is currently playing will be playing for the entire life of the game but that's not an argument against FC sizes, that's just being realistic. It would be nice if we could maintain our community throughout the lifetime of the game, even as players come and leave. If our active member count is maintained or increases during the lifetime of the game, I'd hate to have to tell a new member that they can't be in the main FC because we're full, or an often-but-not-always active member that they have to make room for someone else.

I was there!

The fact that you named your overflow guild "Dragongod Knightking" instead of "Please be more careful" is a terrible missed opportunity.

Geniune suggestion; you'll have a lot of alts in there. Ask your members to keep their mains in PBC and their alts in the PBMC sister guild? I appreciate it's not quite what you need, but, it'll help with keep everyone's main gaming time in check and in one place?

"As it stands, the FC limit is an arbitrary number"

There are no arbitrary numbers in software development. 512 was picked for a reason, perhaps PS3 limitations, but let's not assume it's arbitrary and there only because someone didn't pick the number you wanted for your massive guild.

A waiting list, references, and a resume. For a game. Excellent.
I'd appreciate it if you included hourly wages, what days we can
expect to have off, how paid time off works, and benefits.

These are job requirements, not MMO requirements.

We already do that; it helps that XIV doesn't lend itself well to having more than one character. I'll even swap mains and alts back and forth between the guilds for people for the couple of people with committment issues.

That's how I see it, 2nd chars or people who joined and haven't been on in weeks, but they don't want to remove them to show how "big" they are

None of the things you're saying are true at all. We have no alts. We have less than a dozen people who haven't been on in more than two weeks. I know you think big FCs are stupid, but you don't have to make up things about the one I run.
