Free Company Bonuses

[Thorauku]

Be thankful that there are some benefits Free Companies provide. In other games I've played, having a guild is literally close to useless aside from building bonds and whatnot.

And hey, Meat and Mend II is really nice, y'know?

These forums hurt my head...

Does anyone actually have any objection to a Duty Roulette style reward system for running content with Free Company members? Either it's a good idea or a terrible one, so far most of the posts are just completely beside the point...

Free Companies/ Guilds are groups of players with similar interests that would like to run around under a symbolic title or banner. That is probably the biggest bonus of such things. Your surrounded by players who want to do what you do and coordinate with you so that all of you may maximize what you like best about the game.

We could remove bonuses from FCs and FCs would still exist because players with similar interests will still group up under one symbolic title and play together.

The bonuses are just "Bonuses" for joining a FCs.

They are not the fundamental basis for joining FCs and should never be.

The duty roulette idea, depending on how heavily it affected players could be too much or simply just another consumption buff. Make it the fundamental reason for joining a FC and it will also be the same reason why the FC also dies later on.

I just don't get why there would need to be a reward for running with FC members? That's like giving candy to a child for eating cake!

I was focused on answering the question you first posted.

In regards to getting more bonuses for duty roulette etc. with FC members.. well, that's a neat idea sure.
It would still only be once-a-day, though. I can't imagine SE handing out bonuses on every single FC
run that you do. Then it would come to a point where people felt like they HAVE to be in an FC because
they want those bonuses.

If it were to only be a once-a-day deal, as it is now, all that would do is cause you to run a single dungeon
with FC mates and call it a day most likely. They would really have to get it right to make it work, otherwise
you'll see 1000 more FCs pop up with 8 people solely for that dungeon bonus.

Why would you give fc bonues to roulette. That's kinda snooby. The whole point of roulette is to help lesser fortuned players with their runs by matching other players that would not otherwise want to run it

Trying to stack the deck in roulette is stacking the deck in pvp. It's just hypocritical.
