SE, Please fix this FC exploit

[Sunarie]

Just to be clear... I just checked this in my FC. I can promote people up to the rank under FC master. I cannot demote the master, nor can I promote someone to master. So this DOES NOT fix an instance where the master goes missing but does not actually leave the guild. The only instance I can think of it fixing is if someone physically leaves an FC without first appointing someone. I can't test if leaving is actually possible without first doing that because I'm not the Master.

Why not just make the FC leader promote someone new before leaving?

It's been linked already, but one of the devs already said in 2.2 that there'll be an automatic demotion of a inactive FC leader. The time hasn't been announced.

I wasn't talking about that... I was more pointing out that what the mod gave as a reason doesn't really fix anything at all (as several others in the thread seemed to think it would work if the FC leader was afk). There is no legitimate reason for someone to be able to promote a person to a rank above their own. The OP's situation should not have happened, and is a serious, blatant design flaw.

It's not possible to leave without first appointing someone else as GM. I tried that with an alt char.
