Must join our FC, this is non-negotiable.
This is the worst recruiting tactic I've ever seen. Ultimatums are never a good strategy.

If you can't fill from an FC shouldn't you look outside the FC, and try them out. Then if you're happy and they're happy and seeing how awesome you/your FC is THEN ask them if they'd like to join. Not demand they join before knowing if things are a good fit or not.


People should want to join an FC because they are fun, progressing, and helpful. Not because they can't do something with us/get loot before they leave a different FC.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm confused by your idea of recruiting.
