In-game calendar for events sign-up.

FC websites exist for a reason. While having this function ingame would be nice, can you truly tell me that you would ask SE to budget their programers time to make such an ingame feature that is easily made available in your standard FC website hosting such as guildlaunch? Or have someone who knows some basic HTML/php in the FC code up a simple version for a website that can handle this? Making a simple database to handle a few groups of 8's schedules is not too hard, but for every FC and large scale implementation its a bit more work/time tht FFXIV needs in other places right now.

I would argue quite the opposite.
Generally speaking end-game pve content requires certain level of organization from the players, but it barely provides any tools for that (of course there is "FC topic" and lodestone "fc forum", but functionality is very limited and not very convenient).
Are you really suggesting that every FC should have a website, and on top of that a dedicated web developoer? Are you arguing that every FC building their own tools, is more reasonable than SE doing it once, and providing us with universal tool for all FCs to use? If this is almost a requirement for end-game - it's only logical to have it, in the game.

If we see something like this in game it will be a user made addon, but i'm not even sure if that will be possible as I don't know if the game will have the ability to store such information with addons. But this is an online game, so all have an ISP, and anyone who is so concerned with their time and scheduling shouldn't have an issue logging into a FC website to look at events and sign up.

WoW had ingame calendar for years, tbh when moving on from wow, I couldn't imagine any new mmorpg would not have it, because it was such an important tool, sadly I was proven wrong too many times.
