Frontlines: How is this fair?

[NinjaTaru72]

It's the most ridiculous reason I've ever heard, too. Seriously, who came up with this idea?

The people your paying every month did.

If you don't like it stop paying them . I think it's great to fight the other gc. It goes with the story and makes sense. No one if forcing you to play frontlines.

well you can keep story by making it depend on free company aligment, this way FC members could play together without being forced to have vanity they dont want (minions, bardings, gear, housing etc).

The hell are you talking about? All you have to do is swap and you can play with friends. You don't have to do anything with the GC. Ever.

when i switch from maelstorm to twin adder i will not be able to use maelstorm chocobo barding, all the weapons and armor and gc leader minion will swap to whin-e-sena, thats what im talking about. So yes i can swap to play with friends but will look like treehugger. If it was atleast without that 15 day cooldown so i could swap just for frontlines then i could accept it.

That's kind of the point. You can't be a Maelstrom in Twin Adder clothing. You accept a GC and all that comes along with it. I like that they are segregated. Maybe work on recruiting your friends to join your GC? Or bite the bullet and become an Adder yourself. I just dislike the notion that you would be able to get everything you want because you don't like the stipulations with your current GC. You make a choice and you get the pros and cons that come with it. You can't have everything.

I mean I'm a SCH and could argue that I should get PLD moves and DRG artifact armor "because I want it and my friends are PLDs and DRGs" but that makes no sense. If I want PLD moves, I become a PLD. If I want DRG artifact armor, I become a DRG. If I want to play frontlines with my Adder friends, I become an Adder. Or, I just deal with the fact that I don't get everything.

It happens occasionally. Other day we had nine people missing and they didn't fill the alliance until around ten minutes in. Have to take it or leave it I'm afraid, but there are things you can do. Stealth and capture flags, raid and retreat, have everyone roam in a large group etc. It's a thousand times better than "A party member has withdrawn" over and over, ad infintum.

I like the GC segregation. Whilst I'm not a role-player, I am strongly patriotic and have no interest in representing anything other than the Twin Adders. To those who don't care so much, you can change around. It comes with setbacks, but so too does choosing a specific GC different to your friends. Pros and cons either way.

Not everyone in an FC is with the same GC (nor wants to be), so with your suggestion you'd be forcing some people to have "vanity" they don't want. Why should my choice be overruled by the FC founder's by default?
