Best way to recruit for new FC?

[Ashkendor]

I recently started leveling an alt, and I have to say that the few days I spent outside my free company were pretty annoying with some of the ways people have come up with to recruit, if you can call it that. Going into an area, doing a player search, and sending random invites to anyone without an FC is by far the most obtrusive. One FC in particular invited me on three separate occasions (the same person no less) after I'd turned them down. I finally ended up sending them a tell asking them to stop spamming me. After that, I just applied to my own FC to prevent further invite spam from people just looking to pick up every warm body they could.

Basically, just don't annoy people as that can put them off joining. PF isn't a bad option. A lot of it is just going to be patience and time, though. Make friends in the game. Maybe they'll join you later on! My FC started off really small (5 members) and stayed that way for a long time. Recently we've had a few friends join because of various situations with the FC's they were already in, and they ended up leaving theirs to join us. As the FC grew larger even more people noticed and joined and brought their friends with them. :3
