Suggestion: FC airship exploration should not require TWO members!

Well I don't know about this spirit of the community nonsense, but there are many reasons why a player may not want to be in an "open" FC and stick to a personal one. I started my own FC awhile back with a few friends I know outside of the game after I got sick of the needless drama, I eventually joined a nice FC, the one that I'm in right now. Now, if I didn't know any other people that played the game, I would have gone without an FC or started my own without any other players. I mean, why not? Extra XP, 30% off teleports, all that great stuff, and to top it off there was housing.

Good point. Here also comes the question if all these advantages of FC aren't reward for being social with other players... for example FC chest can save you fee for additional retainer.

That player is not "eating" any space, personal housing and FC housing is shared, if the player hadn't snatched it someone else would have before that FC. I find it funny how people claim this "spirit of the community" but then are so aggressive to people "stealing" their houses, but that's not the fault of the players, it's SE's. People are bound to get envious when it comes to such a limited thing.

Yeah. Were it not for the limited supply of houses, the community wouldn't care as much about this topic.

Ermm... The FC rewards are simply for doing anything productive while playing the game, with a minor favorance for doing things that earn GC seals. Mostly a meter for, how much do they play. Since mine was basically gotten from 1-8 from getting rid of the greed loot from 2-4 ex roulettes a day... Also the social/community aspect could very well get worse if anything in a game was ACTUALLY locked by cliques. Since well it would promote exclusion and NOT interacting with others since you wouldnt be able to do things with them anyways. But akas just a possibility not set in stone. Also i feel this thread has been derailing since the SE POST...
