Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[Misutoraru]

I don't get it, why it is tedious.
In our FC our Craft Master let out a shout in the FC-Chat and there are always enough replies, except there are not enough people online of couorse, happens sometime.
For smaller FCs use PF, but there is a minimum of 4 people to etablish a FC, so it's most a problem of coordination.
If you don't get enough people who help in your FC, they don't deserve level III guild buffs or airship content or everything, wihich is related to the workshop.
And if it's a too high requirement to have a level 1 crafter and just pause the daily grinding for 5 minutes to complete some prepaired crafts, then it's beyond help.

I might be getting old and unwelcome opinion, but i though the whole FC idea is getting ppl together like a guild or family.
I do believe some change is needed, like having something allow all 4 player to engage in the process instead of just sitting there, and may be allow DoW/DoM/DoL to join the process as well. However, I don’t see any good reason to drop the 4 people minimum limit. If a FC can’t even gather 4 players...hum...is it really a FC or just an upgrade linkshell?
