    automatic gil contribution % for FCs

    So, any chance we can get a contribution feature that will automatically pull gil into the FC chest from monster kills and such based on what a player has set?

    For instance, if I set.my contribution % to 80, 40 gil out of every 50 from beetle kills in wp would go into the chest.

    Seems like one noninvasive way SE can help FCs and their members save up while grinding for other stuff...it may be a drop in the ocean but I'm sure it would add up as members do their weekly myth grind.

    Whether or not it would include fate rewards and such as well is a question worth considering. I like the idea of check boxes where the member can set 'quest' 'fate' 'monster' and to best fit their desired contribution.

    I think this is an excellent idea. It could even be implemented as a rank perk. eg: rank 7 you get a tithe perk where say 2% extra gil is generated from every kill and automatically donated to the FC bank, there by the player never actually sees this gil but is still contributing to the overall wealth of the FC>

    If Squeenix were to implement this, it would be a % value taken out of each player's total gil acquired, rather than a % of each player's total gil acquired added on to the end and taken out (like how Blizzard does it).
    Because Squeenix has no foresight.

    Even more non-invasive is members just simply gifting gil to the FC. Actively taking money off members is quite invasive indeed.

    Because it's an income tax, you know, like the one most people pay IRL.

    It's how things are done in EVE Online, if you've ever played that

    Except there it's set by the corporation, not by the individual player

    You're reading it wrong; the player would set it, not the FC.

    EVE also had corporation / alliance level assets that generated income that was usually spent for the greater good of the alliance / corporation. Right now people just have to donate or sell titan runs to get a house.....
