Free Company Capacity - Insufficient Resources to Complete this Action

512 members in a guild is a ridiculously low cap. This needs to be changed with 4.0 if at all possible.

If you want comparisons, many games cap guilds at 1000 members, but even that's starting to change.

• IIRC, WoW removed the guild cap entirely sometime around MoP or WoD (could be wrong, but I've definitely seen guilds in the guild listings on larger servers with more than 1000 members).
• Dungeons and Dragons Online had to remove or raise the cap on guilds there due to a number of guilds hitting their cap of 1000.
• Finally, EVE Online doubled their maximum corporation member cap to 12,600(!) - the highest actual cap I've ever seen in any game (and yes, there are corps that actually come close to having that many members).

With that in mind, I think FFXIV could at least double the maximum number of members allowed in an FC. I also think Linkshells and the NN could use an increase as well (double for NN, at least up to 512 for Linkshells).

No, that's ridiculous. 512 is way more than enough.

The only way you're even hitting that number is because you're mindlessly recruiting people and purposefully trying to inflate your numbers to hit the limit (not what the FC system is intended for, mind you), which means there isn't going to be any sort of limit that satisfies you anyway.

Tell that to Aureus Knights. We keep a roster of around 500 semi-active to active members, pretty much all the time. I guarantee that we would benefit from a cap increase, and we're not a spammer guild. In fact, while our requirements aren't very strict, we do actually have a formal application process.
