That attitude is what I am dealing with right now and it is grossly unfair to the people in your FC's static group. They probably worked really hard to get Coil on farm like they have it now, what do you want, for your FC's BLM to say, "You know what? I've worked hard and paid my dues, but I'm going to let someone else have the fun, loot, and tomes I've earned for this week." I mean, I could see someone doing that once in a great while, while feeling extra-charitable one evening, but you have to understand that strats get tailor specifically to groups, work is put into those strats and those players, and people want to get out what they put in. Getting a chance at 4 loots from T4/T5 is not a just reward for having figured out how to beat it with your group.

What I am trying to encourage my people in a similar situation to do is to make friends while pugging, generate some interest in your own FC, take the bull by the horns and help your FC leaders get another static going! I know its rough and it seems like they are shutting you out because they are selfish/elitist, but its like of like going to college or vocational school - they worked to get their Coil Farm degree, and it would be extremely silly for them to not put that degree to work to pay them a loot-salary.
