Looking for tips on How to find a good FC

I disagree with the people saying avoid FCs inviting anyone and everyone because all they care about is numbers. Well okay, that depends on the FC. Our FC leader for the Shiva FC on Leviathan server invites anyone and everyone because we are an FC that targets all areas, whether you are casual or hardcore. Doesn't matter what class/job you are, or what level you are, or whether you are into PVE, PVP, or RP. At the same time he will delete anyone that has not been online a certain amount of time based on their rank within the FC. So he gets rid of inactives and replenishes them with new invites. This has caused some people to leave the FC as soon as they see this barrage of deletions and invites, which I'm guessing are people similar to the couple in this thread telling you to avoid. There are a lot of inactives since we are the most populated FC among any server in the game, but we also have tons of active social chat members. We also have a mumble server for voice chatting that some of us use. Some of them even accused the leader of scamming people for gil thinking that none of us have been in FC very long thinking he kicks people and invites new ones for the purpose of scamming. This is not true. While yes we do care about high numbers of active members so we have a healthy active FC, many of us have grown to know each other and have become good friends.

We are highly social and active. We do not have any core FC static progression groups yet, but myself and some other FC mates are planning to form one soon as I've been looking into finding a hosting site for our FC website. So as it stands we don't have what you're looking for as we only meet criteria 1, 3, and 4 of the 5 criteria you listed. Criteria 2 only applies to our savings for a large FC mansion. Static progression grouping coming soon. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Are you meaning you just allow people in without requirements, which is fine, or does your FC just randomly invite anyone running past without an FC tag and not bothering to even say a word or ask if they want to join? Cause the first one is fine, its great to allow anyone in, but the second one is more frowned upon and I think its what most people are saying not to do.

I couldn't agree more. Requirements are not necessary; however, the second thing is more an issue common courtesy than anything else, imo.

Yes, it depends on the FC. If the FC leader randomly hurl invites at FC-less players and then doesn't bother much about them after inviting, then this is enough reason to tell people to avoid such FC. If people joined because they said they want to before joining (not just by blindly accepting the invite), it's fine. Some people prefer to play without FC or at least doesn't like to be spoiled by the endgamers talking about raids in a mixed FC.
