I handled it by making what is basically a personal FC with a friend. Gain the benefits of access to the FC buffs and vendor, without having an actual FC. Eventually I may look for a proper one, but until then I enjoy the peace.
Not for sure what you mean but making my own FC is not an option. Whatever benefits are in having an FC do not outweigh the cons imo (mainly for personal and mental health reasons). Plus my BFF and I talk to each other in my own personal LS for each other, even though he does play in an FC. :3
