SE, Please fix this FC exploit

[Xavos]

Perhaps add a feature where you can only take out so much at a time, if they wish to keep taking the master has to come online and remove their restriction?

Regardless of if this particular FC gets their money back or not, I want SE to make it so you can't promote above your own rank. You can't promote anyone to Master at least I hope? >.>; That would be be beyond dumb.

Snip.

Nice assumption, but you are incorrect. My previous FC, which is no longer active, was at 1 time the largest FC on Adamantoise. Within that time we had several smaller FCs merge with us. And we had no problems inviting all their members into our ranks. Granted we did lose all our items/gil once our "Fearless Leader" decided to leave the game for Wildstar and not tell anyone. We had several(minor) server firsts including first DoW/DoM to 50, first crafting class to 50, and first to have all crafting classes to 50. So we had quite a bit of goodies, but I digress. Once again, I'm sorry that this happened to you guys, but take it as a learning experience. I know it sucks(been there) but don't be so trustworthy to new people. Especially ones who are expecting access to your company chest. Make them go through a probationary period or w/e.

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.

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.

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.

Yyyyikes. Look at that money. I am so sorry Lumia.

[Volsung]

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

[Histoire]

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!
