This game can seriously do with more FC activities.

I'm for more FC activities, however I'm not for activities/content which require an FC (Didaem through FC airship because realistically the Ishgard route is 'dead' on most servers.)

This.

I want to be able to go into diadem matron to gather, but that's impossible unless you have the correct rank privilege in an FC and another player in your party to be able to embark into it. The Ishgard route is dead except when community events happens for it. They should honestly should change it to let you queue through it solo, I don't see why not.
