Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

[IceMateria]

-Ahem-

I am formally making a request to close this thread. Here are my reasons.

The original intention was to get the Square Enix Developers attention to address a problem PBC/DGKK have. They are the same guild, but must spread members across two FCs.

The projected goals were as follows:
Either
A) Allow a greater number for a guild cap, so that all 800+ members can be in the same FC
Or
B) Get confirmation that there will, indeed, be a guild alliance option, to merge communication and/or housing.

A developer confirmed that Scenario B will come into effect at some point. Therefore, this threads purpose has been fulfilled. The only other reason to leave it open would be for an ETA of said feature. But that may be expecting too much.


Keeping the thread open, however, leaves this thread particularly vulnerable to one of several, oft repeated, instances. Posts that follow along the lines of (And with the general responses underneath):
1) "How is it possible to hit the cap!?!"
-Picture of both FC's numbers-
2) "You guys shouldn't need that much space. Kick inactives"
-Many are active, those that are not have things to do in real life, but still play the game on convenient times. Like weekends-
3) "I don't understand how you guys manage that many"
-The FCs come from another community, and are generally well-behaved and get along-
4) "Quality > Quantity"
-That's your opinion. Has nothing to do with PBC/DGKK-
5) "Solution, use linkshells"
-Currently doing so. Not feasible to maintain. Linkshell cap is much lower-
6) "Solution, use talk chat like Mumble/TeamSpeak/GameVox/Whatever else"
-Currently doing so. Not ideal. Voice chat on at all times to communicate between potentially 800 players can be immensely noisy-
7) "Solution, use outside forum"
-Currently doing so. Have done so since 1.0-
8) "You just want the biggest FC to brag. You probably spam /shout for recruiting"
-Guildmasters don't recruit, people ask to join of their own volition. Guild forum is MANDATORY to even be considered.-
9) (Complaints about personal attacks in the form of a personal attack)
-(insert sarcasm here)-

That is a summary of the entire thread for all of you too lazy to read through all 34 pages that I put myself through today.

Moderators. Please close this thread. It can do nothing here but derail further.
