When should you leave a FC?

[Remish]

It doesn't help that nowadays; most FC members are constantly visiting other Data Centers 24/7 around the clock and only return home for their retainers or reset their personal house timers here and there. Because of DC visits, Discord has unfortunately become the main way to go since FC chat doesn't transfer over data centers. Sometimes you're lucky as a leader to even get a recruit to stay longer than a week anymore. It's hard to make people feel welcomed as a leader if they aren't even on the data center anymore. Sometimes it helps to look at things from the leader's perspective as well at times. I've made many FCs over the years. Recruiting was never hard. Convincing people not to leave is. It doesn't help that it's nearly impossible to find reliable officers that are passionate enough to grow the FC. The only time I ever see people passionate enough to help is if it's some kind of RP FC or Venue and there is a gil paycheck involved; or they get rights to the FC Airships. You also have people who threaten to leave if you dare ever change the FC buffs to something. I have had people leave because Heat of Battle was changed to a raid buff for a few hours, or the food buff was changed to a teleport buff. If you have ever tried to lead an FC, people take the buffs personally sometimes. Then you also get those really weird insecure full of anxiety people who refuse to do so much as a single roulette unless the FC does it with them. And they never progress the game because the FC didn't play with them enough to level/gear them up. So many people come in expecting to be handheld and baby sat through the game; and its weird how many people expect the FC to coddle them their every need. Don't even get me started on the house...
