Can you give us an update on Free Company summonings?

[Sir_Bee]

I have not read through the entire forum, so I apologize if my question has already been asked. Are there any plans to change the leader of a Free Company when one goes inactive? Currently a FC is kind of stranded if the master has gone inactive, and it would be nice if there was a way to promote a current officer to the master position without the need for the Master to be active.

Thanks.

Chocobo Porter

When Hiring a Chocobo Porter, why are some nearby destinations (one adjacent zone) missing from the list of available destinations?
examples:

From Ul'dah to: Black Brush Station, Horizon, Camp Drybone, Vesper Bay, Little Ala Mhigo, Forgotten Springs, Camp Bluefog, The Silver Bazaar

From Horizon to: Ul'dah, Vesper Bay or Silver Bazaar; please add +1 zone destination: Black Brush Station

From Camp Drybone to: Ul'dah, The Golden Bazaar, or Camp Tranquil; please add +1 zone destinations: Black Brush Station and Little Ala Mhigo


These are just a couple of examples of missing destinations. There many, many more missing throughout the Chocobo Porter destination lists.

Search

- While in-game, why can we not search and find for players who are offline?
-- This is so we can send invites to Friend Lists, Linkshells, and Free Companies to offline players.

NOTE: When logged into The Lodestone; we can search for players at any time. (as long as you know how to spell their name correctly)


On that note; when logged into The Lodestone; can we be allowed to send in-game invitations to Friend Lists, Linkshells, and Free Companies to players who are on the same server?

Will there be rewards for PvP? (e.g. loot)

Company Chest

When the Company Chest window is active/open:
- add a Right-Click [U]Add to Company Chest/U] option for items in your inventory/armoury chest
- add the capability to Auto-sort contents of each tab

Shards---Crystals---Clusters

Are you planning on making any other means of acquiring shards, crystals, and clusters besides DOL? With as many people crafting the need for more of these is going to make a shortage of shards, crystals and clusters.
On the market shards are selling for 80,000 gil for 2000 shards. These are probable coming from 1.0 people that had many shards from monster drops and these people don't craft. It takes about 4 hrs to gather 2000 shards.

Please give us other means to acquire shards besides gathering. Monster drops, turning fish into shards, breaking crystals/clusters into shards, getting more shards from doing leves... something please, besides paying these outrageous prices.
Another option I just thought of is bring back guild points.. let us buy shards with guild points.. or with company seals

Can you buff Ifrit Hard Mode's Mythology Tome drops to 5? It's annoying he only does 4.

[Kohji143]

Are there any plans to making mounts a bit faster?

Can we get the "Heck the Bed" option back for Inns & FC Housing, and get little items with it too?
