you queue under your character's Grand Company or you queue under the Grand Company Allied to your Free Company.

the entire party queueing whether 2 people or 8 people must be from the same Free Company. your Free Company must have Allied Reputation with the Grand Company.

Those are the 2 options you have, you can't ever go to the 3rd one unless you change or you change FC's, which is increasingly harder now that you would lose your room and have to buy a new one.

I just want to be able to queue under the FC's GC when I'm partied with FC members.

I don't want it to be easy to switch. You can also reduce Wolf Marks earned by like 25%/50% if you fight under your FC but against your own GC.

Yet the US World Cup team can hire a German and not be disqualified from competition. Some people are just not that patriotic, deal with it.

I was born Chinese in a British Colony, immigrated to the US became a citizen could potentially marry a Canadian. You're telling me I can only support one country in every international issue?

You, on the other hand, have to support and fight for the Grand Company you choose, giving it supplies and equipment while being able to exchange seals for goods provided by said GC.
Free Company actions are all awarded by the Grand Company to the Free Company. I benefit from that a lot more than I benefit from Company Seals.

Yet I've changed Grand Companies 4 times since I started playing and I've never changed Free Companies. How can you tell every player where their bond is strongest?
