Is it too much to ask for a social FC or do I need to lower my expectations?

How do you find a social LS?

Try looking here http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...Group-NA-EU%29 for your server they may have some to join or you may need to ask about one.

Some people join FC's and never say a word. It's beyond me how some people don't even meet the minimum for sociality. On the other hand I can see how it can be hard at times when FC members are busy doing other things and not responding quickly to new members. Best of luck finding one that works for you.

Some do not like to talk randomly in the chat unless they get addressed by someone.
The sheer activity in chat or otherwise could be enough for them to feel part of it.

Really depends on the vibe the FC gives off.
I'm very anti-social, and I've joined 2 FCs.

First FC I joined I kinda sat quiet in, and when I finally talked - I ended up just getting sass from the same group of people who were always circle jerking each other in the chat, and from then on I didn't talk to the FC before I left. One person completely spoiled the FC for me.

I'm pretty active in the FC I am in now, because the group of people in it seem friendly.
Honestly, it all depends on how people interact in the FC.

Some people also join FCs so they stop getting constantly messages about joining them, and really don't want to be in one. Hell, I've made one before to stop that.

How do you find a social LS?

Someone already answered about using the worlds section on the forums so that's one suggestion. If that doesn't pan out for you, you can use the shout ingame to find out. Even better now is that with world visit active, you can find LS or Cross-World LS all over.

I sincerely hope you find one to your tastes. Good Luck

It's a bad time for this sort of thing since it's right before a major expansion but I've experienced this before. I joined 2 FCs, both were heavily inactive but tried to pretend they were. In-game chat was very rare and nobody would talk back. I ended up finding a third FC which was the perfect one for me. Always active, plenty of people online 30+, and people would converse, help each other, etc... People in the FC also make their own little groups in linkshells to talk to their closes FC mates on a more personal level too. These kinds of FCs exist, you just have to hop from one to another until you find one.

Mmmm I think there’s fcs out there that are social like they advertise. I know with my fc we are social. Chat is slightly more quiet in game than normal due to the content drought, but people still talk. A lot of us keep in touch through discord until more content comes out, and people come back from playing other things. I think you just gotta find the right group of people. I’ve been with my fc for over 4 years now and am still happy with it (:

Sometimes people are in a dungeon and might not see what you said. Right now it'll hard to find one that's real active because of the content drought. There are some FC though that I swear mostly chat in voice chat. Heck I miss things in chat because I'm crafting like a crazy person or gathering like one. Not to say there aren't any bad apples out there.

Not everyone is social that's a given but some won't even say hello when addressed in FC chat. That's simply common curtesy in my opinion. To each their own but FC are meant to be social animals after all. FC's should do their best to make new members welcome and not ignore them. Helping new members is what a FC should be about as well.
