Replacing/Changing FC Master?

[Uzan]

Small FC, original master is MIA for close to 2 months, is there anyway to change out the FC master? I've fired off a GM message but got a canned "outside our scope of services" response.

Best option is to take what you can from the FC bank, and make a new FC.

Square Enix's Game Masters should be renamed "piss-poor excuse for an extremely bad copy and paste customer dis-service", because that's all they are.

Yea the response was lack-luster indeed. We've sent another petition in to see if we get lucky with another GM but looks like re-roll time...which blows

Greetings,

As there is currently no way to transfer the permissions of the free company leader to other members in the event that they leave the game, or don't log in for a long time, we are working to make it possible to receive these permissions via some method. For example, if the leader has not logged in for a very long period of time, it will automatically be passed to another officer by specific rules. We will be implementing this system after patch 2.1.

Well, it's 2.1. Where's this implement?

Sorry to say that I think GM could not do anything for this matter...
If the ownership is passed then someone can kick the original owner, therefore I think the "specific rule" states in the example still need to be activated by the owner before he is MIA.
IMHO, the other 3 foundators who signed the agreement to startup the FC should have special rank and permissions, however, current design implied a Free Company actually is owned by it's master solely.
