SE, Please fix this FC exploit

[KaiKatzchen]

Sorry for what happened to you and I hope you get, at least, your gil back.

But I do have a question which I'm kinda confused by:

we gave that FC's leader his own rank so he could form his coil static group.

Why did this guy need a rank just to form a coil static within your group? We have members that create coil statics and they don't need a higher rank given to them to do it. Just a little confused by this...

He wanted a rank to distinguish his group from other people in the free company. His rank was "Static Leader" and his static members were "Static Onions". (We use an Onion Knight theme for ranks).

I didn't think anything of it when we created the extra ranks. I have an alt character on another server who's FC has specialty ranks for crafting/gathering, and other random things.

But I digress, the point of this thread isn't about our failures... it's about fixing this so it doesn't happen to others. There are several people who responded to this thread that didn't know about this.

This

My FC Also uses special titles as ranks for those I truly trust which has individual rights depending on how much I trust them. While I am sure none of them would screw me over my FC is also going through a merge with a FC that splintered off from us around launch and occasionally one of them gets promoted temporarily to a specialized rank to invite the mass of people coming in. I have it set up to prevent this kind of thing from happening but only because I was online when it happened and was notified by their FC leader as soon as he found out.

Well regardless, I am sorry that it happened and I hope that Se is able to rectify the situation.
