    Agreed, you should not be able to promote to a rank higher than your own. And the only person who should be able to have the Master position is the FC leader, and no one else should be able to hold this title. If the current Master quits or leaves, either the FC is disbanded, or the Master title is given to someone else, and immediately removed from previous Master. i.e. FC can only have 1 Master at a time. On top of that the Master should be the only one that is able to withdraw gil for the company chest. The only thing I guess you'd have to take the hit on is the items. And most items are usually so easy to obtain in this game, it wouldn't be much of a loss if someone were to ransack the chest.

    As a FC Master I once promoted someone else to Master because I was going to be away for a while. It lets me do it because I am the Master, I assume. There can indeed be only one Master at a time, when I accepted the promotion, it made that person the Master and lowered my rank to the lowest possible one. Now I'm just hoping there isn't some weird issue that could let someone else than the Master promote someone to Master.

    I tried it a few weeks ago and only Master can promote someone to Master rank. It's still messed up either way OP. I hope you get your gil back. In my FC, I think the leader saw this problem a while ago so now only 3 of us at the highest ranks have the promotion perk.

    I'm sorry this happened to you. When I heard about this flaw a few weeks back, I took away the ability to promote/demote from everyone but officers. I also will not promote anyone to the rank of Officer without being sure they are trustworthy and use an authenticator. Even the nicest person in the world can get hacked without one. My FC is working toward raising funds for a house, and losing all of our money would be a huuuuuuge blow to morale.

    Should not be able to promote above your own rank. Its a bad
    design flaw, and should be changed.

    At least this person now has a reputation with the bigger guilds.

    I've let the people I know this information as well.

    Keep being vocal about this. Even if the FC mechanic is "working as intended" it's still theft. We're not allowed to send /tells in instances because they are afraid of people harassing other players but this is ok? Something doesn't add up. Hopefully you will get a better response on here than you have in game. Good luck to your FC!

    Hate to say this, but as a FC owner myself, I see the blame 100% on the FC owner, how can you own a FC and not have super restrictive rules on withdrawing and promotions? With my FC, others can only deposit gil and nobody else can promote anyone. Chest 2 & 3 are completely turned off and chest #1/crystals are deposit only. Plus I don't allow gil to be contributed unless its a leader/RL friend. With these rules, my FC has been setup months ago to make sure things like this dont happen. Sucks that you had to go through something that was completely avoidable if the owner did his/her job correctly.

    I wonder if people who reply like this even read the post? :/ It was super restricted. It's a flaw. If the flaw wasn't there, no harm would have come to this FC.
