That just means if you're building an 8 player party and you have 3 Maelstrom and 4 Immortal Flames, you'd just need 1 Twin Adders to get the bonus, so that's not so bad.
    However then you might have people turning down a perfectly good party member just because they don't have the one company the group needs. I think the devs need to clarify this right away. I can understand why they would put such a system in however all it does is force people to go with the majority for the best bonuses. People should join a company because it's the one they want to, not because they'll be shunned from parties without it.

    The thing is, even if the worst case is true (I'm certain it's not), there's no need for everyone to flock to one company because "omg, everyone's going to this company." Even if 95% of your server goes with the Flames, as long as you know enough people in the remaining 2-3% that went with the company you want, you're set. Remember, even in the worst case, as long as you can find 7 other people on your server that didn't go with the majority, you're good to go.

    Everyone panicking and bolting for Uldah just because they think everyone is going to panic and bolt for Uldah has to be one of the crappiest self-fulfilling prophecies I've seen lately. If everyone would stop over-reacting, we'd see a fairly even spread among the three cities. [panicvoice]But no! Everyone goes to Uldah! Why!? Because that's where everyone goes![/panicvoice]
