Why is this beginning to be tossed back into the laps of the FC? Try to understand, I love to "help" people in my FC get done dungoens or whatnot from time to time since it is nice to help people that you actually can get to know. On the same note, if you are joining a FC with teh expectation hat they are going to be there every time you want to run a dungeon please don't join mine. People join FCs then immediately feel like they did such a wonderful favor by joining that they have some type of entitlement to my time. The people who run FCs are people too, the precept of the FC is a social situation where players have easy and reliable access to each other. This does not mean you get spam the thank GM for ak runs.

he truth is, a fc and a linkshell do the exact same thing except, there is a buff that can be applied to a level 5 FC and there is an associated tag.
