Why I don't like the idea of paying for extra retainers.

but selling Fantasia potions or possibly Namingway cards has NO NEGATIVE EFFECTS on anyone.

Not quite. Here is an example of worst case: i'm a dick and i steal items from my FC and leave. Use a fantasia, use a namigway card and bam, "new character", i can join the fc and be a dick again.

Fantasia itself may be "dangerous" since it changes the look of your character, but you can be recognized by your name. If you can change your name too.....

Have some sort of ID code tied to a character that you can find with search and also block and ban from things.

(I bet there is one already). I know, i was trying to say these kind of items may be dangerous without control/security. If we have control/security, no prob :3

Fantasia will probably cost 15 bucks considering you can change your WHOLE appearance. Namingway will probably not be implemented. Either way I am unsure who would pay 15 bucks just to be a dick :/. You can only do that to an FC if he is a high ranking officer. ( another words has to work his/her way up before even attempting to be a "dick".

If the FC does the right protocol, chances of this happening are slim.

Also, the Free Company could probably try reporting the person (not sure if taking items from FC chest and leaving is reportable?), and the GM would surely be able to find the person by their old character name.

btw - I want Namingway!! *_* just for a slight change to surname, but I can see it would be a pain to keep track of people if they keep changing names, so I'm maybe against that overall.

Anyway, let's stay on topic!! :P

Or.. the person who leads your FC could actually sit down and take the time to read all about the permissions he/she has and assign them appropriately. That's what I did. Everyone has full access in my FC except to withdraw gil, but ever since we got our house we don't have gil in the bank anymore. What exactly can people steal in this game that is so valuable? A few stacks of HQ Snurble Tufts?
