**NEED** for In-Game FC Events Bulletin Board

[Veritas-Ancora]

Why Lodestone events do not work:
- Requires sign-in each time on an external website not frequently checked by most
- Not PS3/PS4 friendly
- Requires players to leave the game or tab out to a site infrequently used
- No in-game reminders or integration into XIV
- Difficult to set up recurring events for the FC

Why Google Calendar doesn't work:
- External site which becomes a daily responsibility of the player
- No in-game reminders
- Can't regulate who enters/leaves the FC
- If made public, spammers/idiots throw countless notifications of BS on to people's phones
- Not PS3/PS4 Friendly

Why Facebook/Hangouts/Player.me/Discord postings don't work:
- Can't manage or continue to add every person who joins the FC
- No clear way of knowing who is posting what event
- External site requiring daily checking on the responsibility of the player
- Convoluted system not friendly to recurring events, requires as much work from the poster as the viewer
- No in-game reminders

The lodestone also doesn't work because it actually doesn't work. I created a halloween event and, even signed in, I could not find my own event doing an event search. Having an FC calendar would be a great boon for FC's, but I'd suggest taking it a step further and having a server calendar. It would be cool if I could actually advertise events at my guild's restaurant/resort in a place that people actually check.
