I just got kicked

[ShinMetsu]

So someone asked you to trade some gear to an alt and you reported them? I would've kicked you too probably.
Also, this is not the business world, this is the spare time hobby entertainment world. Why would they keep you if they don't like you and you don't fit with them?
And reporting them for kicking you because they didn't like you? I'd be sure to blacklist you afterwards too.
That's my opinion, sorry.

I usually got experiences with people acting friendly in order to enter a fc (and then check our chest and leave (empty-handed,ofc)), but this is the first time I see a fc is acting friendly in order to get a player and check his gear!

Were you kicked
BY A MENTOR?

I have had someone ask this from me before. It was for an alt character for purpose to play certain role in RP storyline. What was "traded down" was few glamour gear items that they had got and dyed correctly beforehand so as not to have to go through leveling the alt just for the dyeing purpose. Reasons vary. It's possible your way to ask what they want traded came of as annoyed (even if not intended so) and they said "never mind" just because they didn't want to bother you any more. If you then jumped into reporting them for something that would really not have been a big deal, they might have seen you as a bit hostile. Misunderstandings and all that.

I wager a mentor kicked you, who else would?

no actually. A mentor would have had more tact and actually sat down to discuss why they weren't happy with what I was doing. I'm gonna reiterate. I was never given any previous warning or advisement in my behavior towards others in the FC. I was just approached my a pc I'd never seen then when things didn't 'go according to plan' I was kicked by the player who had used the seemingly new pc

If you only knew...

For whatever reason, they don't like you, and by reading your posts I am sorry to say I kind of don't want you in my FC either. I dunno, you rub me the wrong way, don't get offended its just your tone is HOSTILE.

Anyways move on, so what, not everybody has to like you its a MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE game, tons of people like you, few dislike and I wager some outright HATE you. Big deal. If there is no harassment or racial slur or bullying, move on. Geez.

Simply not liking you, however regrettable, is a perfectly legitimate reason to kick someone from a FC. They were lame not to actually talk to you before doing it but it's their FC and nothing stops you from making your own, so the onus is on you to fit in with them if you want to be part of their little club. I'd be just as confused about 'trading down' (I don't understand why speaking in plain English is so hard for people) but it doesn't sound especially shady.

You'll find a better FC. One which fits you and doesn't force you act in a way you're not comfortable with.

...I usually avoid FC's

I've left fc's before on poor terms before but that was my own choice.

I was furious and demanded and answer. and what i got was and I quote "I removed you during the preliminary time..."

Your story doesn't quite add up, I feel there is more to this than you are telling us.
'Trading down' is a phrase I've never heard. However, reporting someone because you didn't understand what they wanted from you is hardly appropriate. You said they were nice and friendly so why not simply ask the person what they meant?

Looks like the FC had a trial period, they can't stop you buying a room the minute you join, but common sense should tell you that your position in the Company is not secure until the trial period has ended.
Membership of a Free Company is not a right, more like a privilege. Companies are perfectly entitled to kick people who 'do not fit in'. It's not a reportable offence.
