"Just Make an FC so you can buy your own house Bro LMAO"

...Truth be told, I'm worried your desk is a mess of saliva, considering you make it sound like you'd be drooling unless someone specifically told you not to...

bRo! Thank you for giving me such a huge smile

So many worthwhile threads on this forum and people flock to feed the troll that is assaulting your eyes with caps lock ranting.

I don't get it. You don't feed them and their rants fade into the aether..

Little break down..
The Free company Rank 6 req. Has been a thing since housing was introduced back in ARR. 30 day wait period for New Free companies was introduced with the lottery system.

[Reinha]

Curious what the logic behind both a rank requirement and month long wait time requirement are for owning a house. Seems odd, pointless,, and a total waste of my time even!

The point is that there are still fc houses available thanks to those restrictions. It discourages people who are too stupid to read about the system or too lazy and impatient to fulfill the requirements. More houses for fcs who actually care about housing.

Though, not digging that out is not even the worst "oopsie" I have seens someone to suffer with their housing dreams.

Who the f uses gil to rank up their FC??

People who find it easy to make gil and who have nothing better to spend it on. It's not expensive to get to rank 6.

That's what I did for a friend on a JP world. He wanted to set up a FC to get access to FC actions. I'm good at making gil. So I made gil and bought Exarchic/Neo-Ishgardian off the MB to turn in once I had made Second Sergeant with my GC. I ended up overestimating the number of items needed to hit Rank 5 and we ended up at Rank 6 (which is fine, his ultimate goal is rank 8 for the improved actions but I only promised to help to get to 5). No, we haven't nor have plans to buy a house, I really don't feel like grinding out that much gil on a character that was just made to help him create and rank up his FC.

Honestly, SE needs to go back and reexamine how Company Credits are generated. I honestly shouldn't have been able to do that as a level 37 character. Participating in game play should be generating greater amounts of Company Credits than turning in Expert Deliveries. Crafting and gathering likewise need a nerf to the number of credits generated.

If participation in game play was the main way to generate Company Credits, it would be a lot more difficult for the shell FCs to get started.

This thread was a field trip

It literally doesn't until you actually attempt to buy a house but thanks for playing. And on top of that none of the galaxy brains telling me to abandon my FC to make my own just to be able to have a chance at a house bothered to mention this.

Maybe don't assume everyone knows what you know. Maybe have the ability to empathize with other people and realize not everyone is privy to the things you are magically by default.

Maybe. Just. Maybe.

"no one" told you this? Perhaps you should pay more attention in the housing forums. I certainly mentioned it back when I decided to go the "solo FC house" route.

If these measures weren't in the game, people would just go and make alts with fake FCs in like a day. They need some deterrents to prevent everyone from making shell FCs. If anything I think it needs to be more restrictive. You should need 10+ members to own a FC plot.

10+ members is still easy. I had 12, 3 alts per 4 accounts. Could add some more alts from those accounts or more accounts from a couple RL friends, if need be. Buffing a FC member count is easy.

Guys, it has been said already. This is a forum troll. They purposely pretend to be stupid or angry, they get a satisfaction from people responding to them because they need attention and have no friends or people that care about them enough to check in on them.

Honestly at this point, just report the post. Starting up flame wars like this can only be the work of a middle schooler.

The propensity of certain people on this forum to dismiss users with different opinions, or more specifically, people who are critical of the game, is sad. No, I am genuinely mad over the housing situation and the "advice" people give to cope with it. That I come across very angry is to make clear the sincerity of my displeasure and nothing more.

On top of that, if I wanted to troll I'd be using an alt.
