    Again how is this an issue? Is it bugged or something?

    Not saying what you brought up aren't issues, as it could be as simple as that I haven't encountered the problems myself. I would be grateful if you elaborated on why these two things are problematic.

    The fact that you can deny members access to the fc house is baffling to me. No healthy fc would ever lock out their members. I struggle to figure out why SE thought we needed this. It's very anti-social and it can literally prevent people from being able to leave the fc (assuming it has not yet been fixed).

    Yea SE expressed interest in fc alliances but we heard nothing more since. I hope it hasn't been scrapped.

    We definitely need more chest space and more ranks. The chest space especially needs attention because this game has a tremendous amount of crafting materials. It's impossible to keep even just the rare stuff in one tab.

    What I would really like to get is more fc ranks, and by that I mean the rank of the fc itself. Additional ranks could give us more fc chest space, more member ranks, more company action slots for active and saved actions, access to additional goodies bought with company credits, and maybe even better buffs for the crafting stations.

    There should be an officer chat channel by default. Of course you can just make a ls for it but it's quite crappy because a function that should be part of the fc robs you of a ls slot.

    There should also be an option to prevent anyone blacklisted by the fc master to enter the fc house and using the friends of fc members teleport. There needs to be a way to prevent unwelcome players from entering the house without denying access to friends of the fc.

    The fact that its so limited, there should be at the bare minimum IMO a set amount of gil/crystals a rank can withdraw within a given day/week even if they can't do the same for items. Granted this is the most minor of my complaints due to the storage size we are talking about. But other games can do these things and 5 years later I'd like to think we'd at least have some kind of update to the FC chest.

    The fact that you can promote someone to a low rank with promotion rights, who can then promote themselves or anyone else to any rank other than master is an issue and a hassle to deal with.

    Agreed, its also annoying not to just have a option to jump inside to your FC chamber somewhere in the game.

    I'm not holding my breath for it to have not been scrapped.
    Everything else you've mentioned here I agree with and don't have much to add to.

    Ah yes, controlling how much can be withdrawn from the chest. Some poor fc leader has just posted a thread related to this. A new member stole everything they could get their hands on and because it's not against the ToS they can do nothing about it. If fc leaders could set a cap based on rank it would greatly deter thieves if they had to be a member of the fc for quite a while before being trusted with large withdrawal permissions.

    o.O I had no idea this was even a thing. I suppose this can be controlled by only giving promotion rights to high ranks? But that still doesn't change how silly it is that someone can promote themselves.

    The ONLY reason I can see the need for this, is if you are setting up an FC scavenger hunt of "Find this item!"...even then it's pushing it....definitely something that NEEDS to be fixed(I've never had that situation personally, but don't doubt it is a fairly stupid setting...).

    Even if they changed it so you can be at the FC house front door to be able to demolish your room(where all your furnishing goes to apartment storage or the item reclaim NPC if you can't get into the room itself).

    Didn't know about that. Was just talking about something like that the other day.

    Thanks for helping make the FFXIV community a fun and welcoming place. If you're not sure you have (and you very likely have), make it a point to be patient or helpful the next time you log in so that you can know you've made a difference.

    If you're on the Aether data center, congratulations! I might be your next exciting adventure healer in the Duty Finder. Please look forward to it.
