Why is it you come on these forums or some other game site forums and so many ppl complain about not having a fc or a raid group but then its impossible to get these ppl in a fc or a raid group? There are tons of ppl running around our server (sargatanas) with no fc and who simply don't want/need to join one.

We have a fc that is recruiting, and we tried to set up a raid group twice and no one bites or they join for a day then drop. Most responses to recruitment we get from ppl are just those who want to absorb our fc into theirs, which isn't going to happen as we like our fc and its few members.

We don't have a house yet which is the biggest detriment to our fc as no one really wants to join a homeless fc but with prices as absurd as they are and only a couple ppl working on getting the gil its such a slow crawl that will break more fcs than help. It's a catch 22.

So are all servers like this?

We want to have fun and enjoy all the content the game has to offer but its so hard to get things going and sitting in pf for hours trying to put a coil/ex group together (you know since half the pt drops after 1 wipe) just makes it hard to complete a lot of the content.

Not to mention you can gear yourself the same ilvl-wise by simply doing dailies and st on your own time, so why bother tackling content before it gets echo nerfed.

I don't mean to beat a dead horse here but we never had issues like this in other games. We don't expect overnight success of course but there is a least one big, glaring issue working against burgeoning fcs...housing.

So with pf, df and large established fc's taking up the ppl in need of a fc and simply making it easy to get by without one, is the concept of a FC already becoming something dead?

Not upset or anything of the sort, just confused as to the direction things are going...
