Can GM's change Free Company Leader?

[YuniYasha]

We have someone in our FC trying to contact GM's to get ahold of the FC's Leadership role. This particular guy is our old leader, who recently has become very aggressive and wanted to boot all the other co-leaders. He just came back from a 6 months break, so we'd put our heart and soul into making a strong FC. Now he wants to boot us all. Somehow, by a stroke of luck, he accidentally promoted one of us to Leader (This guy was the leader for 6 months) However, we cannot remove him either because he has a room. So he is contacting a GM to try to get the leadership role back (Which we won't give to him). Because as soon as he gets it, the FC is going to die. He is going to kick out all of our leadership members, and most likely a ton of people will leave with us (He has been gone for 6 months!)

So I am mainly wondering if there is a chance a GM will fulfill his request and he pretty much destroy our FC which we have worked very hard towards building.

I doubt it, but on the off chance that the GMs can actually do something about it I just hope it happens after 2.35, at which point you should be able to deal with him yourselves.

I thought after 3 months of inactivity the leadership is automatically passed to someone else? If he was truly gone for 6 months, then he's lost all claim to leadership and you shouldn't have a problem with keeping him from taking it back. Unfortunately it seems like you're going to have to wait until the patch, because I believe in 2.35 they said they're going to change it so you can kick members even if they have private chambers.

GMs don't usually interfere in FC management so I doubt it. You can petition a GM to remove his room so he can be kicked if you feel he is harassing the FC.

Can they? Yes.

Will they? No.

2.35 will allow you to take care of it. Good luck!

I seem to recall a post about someone trying to get leadership of their FC back time to dig up the post to see if its the same person /popcorn

I dont think GM's will do anything to change the leadership as they dont touch player disputes and the system is working as intended week after next you can remove the player in question and be done with it.

EDIT nvm found the post seems its a different server to yours oh well carry on

FC's are self-governed(like most "guild" type groups in MMOs) SE shouldn't(best not) interfere.

No GM will not change leadership.
Submit ticket for harassment if he is being that much of a nuisance.
I'd just set FC message to blist the guy if GM refuse to remove his private chamber.

I called this about the fc rooms back before the update SE should have held off on rooms but at least a fix is coming for now you guys should just block him.

For now your FC is just gonna have to ignore him, come 2.35 you can get rid of him. But no, a GM would never change an FC's leadership like that.
