    So, why does the "light party to advance to the next stage of FC crafting" exist?

    Like, I just simply don't understand its purpose. It's especially annoying when you have FC members who aren't willing to at least spend 1-2 minutes of their time to serve as advancement fodder.

    This isn't even a good point since it does not require FC members in said light party. I do it sometimes with friends from other companies.

A Veteran MMO gamer knows that the experience of the game is stretched out over years, and if crafted properly, it leaves players with some of the best gaming experiences to be found anywhere.

    I'd honestly like it more if they made said members do something instead of watching me finish. I mean, I am not adverse to the party mechanic, but when you literally just need three warm bodies to finish with no real context, it just becomes silly.

    You know, you CAN ask others to do things. We usually split our work between 3-4 people - they get exp for turning stuff in, after all. The person who can handle the lowest level stuff does so, then it filters up from there with the 50+ blacksmiths handling the darksteel ingots.

    Much more exciting to have it all filled up and then have the leader press the button that way.

    I know. And I do! Other people in the FC actually want to help out, because I like my FC members. Doesn't mean some steps haven't been, and most people's experiences haven't been, "Get the boys in here to watch me press the button". It's underwhelming.

    It is silly that they are just there to stand by and watch while 1 person does most or all of the work.
    You don't even have to press buttons or anything.
