They just wants you to be a number and won't help you much really...
Joining those is random. You may get a great community, a horrible one, or anything in between. The only issue with it is that you don't know in advance which it will be. I joined a couple that way (with different characters).

One of them pretty much ignored me. They were inviting low-level players but only running endgame content, so I had nothing worthwhile to contribute. But oh well, at least I got the FC action buffs, which is something more than I'd have if I continued without an FC.

The other one was great. We ran dungeons together. We discussed the game, helping newer players with stuff. We made gear for each other. We chatted. It was a lot of fun (in addition to having those buffs and eventually an FC house).

Now eventually I ended up leaving both of those FCs to form a new FC with a friend. But I'm glad to have made friends in the other FCs I'd been with, and I'd never have met them if I hadn't accepted those random invites in the first place.
