    There's absolutely nothing wrong with Discord. Until very recently you couldn't even /tell people that you were friends with on other servers; you had to either make a cross-server PF (another feature that isn't that old compared to this game's lifecycle) or speak to each other externally. Cross-server PFs prevent other activities, so external communication was the better option. And don't say Discord is some new thing--before Discord, there was Teamspeak. Before Teamspeak, way back in the day, was MSN, AOL, Yahoo! Messenger. There's Skype and Facebook messenger. Online chatting is not something new.

    And to address your later comments about "cliques" and "division"--that exists everywhere in life, and it existed way before Discord was a thing. My very first FC back in 2015 had cliques. Cliques exist in small groups and larger groups--smaller groups have 1~2 cliques, larger ones have many multiples of that. That's a societal aspect certainly not limited to this game, nor directly fueled by the creation of Discord. It has always existed.

    So.... contributing to your observed "problem". In other words.

    That's fine if you want to address the lack of communication in things like duties. But when you don't even practice what you're complaining about there being a lack of, it makes you look hypocritical.
