I have a funny fc recruitment story!

Once on an alt I got this message saying “hey I bet you’re getting sick of fc invites, huh;p”. I replied that I was and that I was sorry, but I wasn’t looking for a fc. I wished them good luck and was about to be on my way. They said that no, they were sorry. I didn’t actually qualify for their fc, I was too new and of not elite status. I seemed like a nice person, but I simply could not join. It wouldn’t be fair to all of the other people who couldn’t join because they were not elite (like me). I said I understood and that it sounded like a wonderful fc to be in. Then I wished them luck and was about to be on my way.

They started sending me the strict requirements to be a part of their fc. “You must have 1million gil! That’s the first requirement!” I told them 1 million gil actually wasn’t very much and that I had that already. Then I wished them luck and was about to be on my way. I quickly get another message explaining that of course 1 million gil was only the first of many requirements. I didn’t meet any of the other requirements. Those were much more difficult. Even if I had 1 million gil I couldn’t join, they were very sorry, but they had to put their foot down.

It. Was. So. Weird. They told me they were going to buy a house in Lavender beds for the fc. I told them that on my main I had a house and that it was in Lavender beds. They told me that of course a house was only the first step, eventually they were going to buy the entire ward. After that they didn’t say anything else. I can only assume someone else without a fc tag passed by them and they had to rush to send them a tell explaining that they were very sorry, but this person could not join their fc.
