Content geared towards FCs

[Jojoya]

and my counter argument is exactly what you just stated in this post. You can easily join any FC in this game. The whole point of FC content is to appeal to those already in one. There's already stuff locked behind FC anyway and let me already tell you as someone who plays alts, I dont care for my alts to be in any FC, because the point for it is engaging with that community circle which I dont normally care for. I dont ever feel pressured or obligated having to join one for doing extra content whastover. My whole point for adding more FC based activities is for the benefit of those communities, not for the individual player. The solo player isnt going to necessarily care for that kind of content if thats not in their MO with this game. So why are we suddenly going "But think of the non-FC players!" Like seriously who cares. Let those people have their own fun. You dont have to care if you dont want to. I certainly dont. I just think its neat for this game to have extra stuff for people to do for dedicating their time in certain parts of this game. How is this so wrong?

FCs are social communities, not content communities. "Those people" (which probably include most of us posting in the thread) are perfectly capable of having their own fun without SE stepping in to do the work they should be doing themselves.

What is wrong is limiting the content to just those in FCs when it could be content being enjoyed by all players regardless of what social circles they do or don't want to join.

What this thread sounds like is a bunch of FC Masters upset that their FCs aren't the cool, active places they imagined before they found 3 other random players to sign their FC petition, and now they want SE to fix it.

Nothing SE adds would change the problem. As I said before, if the FC leadership isn't making use of current content to keep their FC engaged then they aren't going to do it with new content either.

FC leaders and officers need to step up and make things happen for their FC. If they can't do that, why did they form a FC in the first place or accept a leadership position in one?

Map nights
FATE farms
Chocobo racing at the Gold Saucer
Glamour contests
FC room decorating contests
Scavenger hunts
FFXIV trivia nights
Karaoke nights in Discord (if the FC has a Discord 0r uses some other voice communication)

The list goes on and on of things that FC leaders can be doing to engage their FCs without SE's involvement.

Let SE focus on creating content for all players. FCs can do their own thing.
