Every job I have ever held IRL is a mindless grind. Are you trying to tell me that wasn't work? My employers would love to hear that because then they would stop paying me...

Regardless if you think it's easy to do, it is still work grinding AK/WP to profit from tome sales. No job I have ever had was 'hard'. They have all mostly just been tedious, which is exactly what grinding dungeons is. And if anyone can do it, why don't they? Because it's a lot more WORK that needs to be done than just typing it in a sentence. Nowhere in the definition of the word 'work', is the word 'hard' found. Nor is the word 'team' found.

I understand what your trying to say, but don't supplement your thesis with nonsensical beliefs. Technically I do what you are talking about every day. I have helped about 15 people in my FC with learning dungeons and how to play their jobs. We don't grind stupid FATEs because those teach you nothing. In effect, while teaching my FC mates dungeons, I have earned a lot of money from selling tomes because I was full DL a lot faster than them. Now, I only run dungeons with FC mates, and normally we switch groups every night so everyone has a chance to group with everyone else. I am 'helping people', in your terms of a proper MMO, daily. Just because an FC can hold 512 people does not mean you HAVE to have 512 people. Right now, there is no need to have more than 24 people if you want to be technical. Linkshells can have far more people in them than 5 people as well, so you don't get to 'determine' what a LS is for and a FC is for. I made my FC and I'll be damned if I'm told how to run it. Plain and simple.

The more you argue your points the less I like your idea. It just seems like you want to be held at some kind of super elite status because of the size of your FC. I'm not trying to put you on blast personally, but with each of your posts I have liked your idea less and less. Sorry if you feel offended, but you don't defend your points very well.

I will be in a mansion with my FC because 20-25 of us WORKED TOGETHER and made millions of gil in order to purchase it. I'm sorry that you have 3 million FC points with nothing to spend them on. That's SE's fault, not the entire community to suffer because they don't have 400 people in their FC. Honestly, I don't want 400 people in my FC anyway.

Which brings me back to the silliest point you made. An MMO is still a game. Just because you are playing it with others doesn't mean you have to play it a certain way. Games are for fun. If someone is having fun playing alone in a world of people, it isn't for you to decide or chastise that person for not playing the same way you do.
