The whole point of the airship thing is to encourage bigger FC's, I'm really tired of there being like 27251518182 FCs with less than 10 members and no incentive to be in a bigger FC let alone any real advantage. It needs to be kept this way

So on a lower population server, like Goblin, my friends and I have to suffer when there are LITERALLY almost no new players coming in that AREN'T hopping right into an FC because a friend invited them? I thought the whole point of FCs was to get people playing together, no matter HOW many people are in an FC... I didn't know I was FCing wrong by not wanting 200 people I don't know in my FC...

You're missing the point, the question comes down to what even is the point of an FC that you can't do outside of an LS? FC buffs? Ok. That's it that's like our one and only tangible benefit from being in an FC, guilds throughout history have always been about getting a large group of players to ban together towards a common goal, do we have that incentive here? Do we have any incentive at all here to be in a FC?

I understand people are in smaller servers with having to be stuck in a small fc but thats my point, the reason why no one will join your fc is cause if you look around everyone else is also in their own lil small fc without a pool of players. If SE created more FC content these players would then realize that "ok we need more players somehow" maybe then they'd think outside the box and reach other to other small similar fcs and work out some sort of deal like maybe a merger or somethingnof the sort.

My point is we need more incentives to make fcs even be needed cause at this point they arent to consolidate the ridiculous amount of small FCs.
I find it unfair that the people who choose to be in small FCs are asking for the same benefits that larger FCs get for something self inflicted.

This isn't a universal problem. I have a small fc and we have no issue making more points than we use. If anything the lack of dedicated crafters has been more a problem than not making enough fc points.

It would be nice if they made the new items they put in for FCs (such as the miniatures, paintings, yard decorations) cost GC seals instead of FC credits. I'm sure a lot of people want the Bahamut miniature or Odin for their private rooms but since you can only purchase it through FC credits an FC leader might not allow it if points are needed elsewhere. 50,000 GC seals seems pretty fair for those items to me, or buying tokens from the GC that you exchange somewhere (so an item might cost a total of 200k or 300k seals to make up for the ease of getting seals) for whatever item you want.

But again, what would the point of a larger FC be then? Small FCs get as money points as a larger FC? You SHOULD have a FC point deficit because youre a smaller FC, thats the reason why you either recruit more members or consolidate FCs so that you dont have a million tiny FCs

Why does there need to be a bribe to join a larger FC?

One where you're more likely a number, full of cliques and in general, just like high school?

I was ecstatic to find the game didn't require massive guilds.

We learn how to build a ship from scratch.. alone.. with the Ixali.. and then we are required to group to create ships..

I think bigger FCs will have advantage over exploration because of fuel and maintaining cost, getting bigger ships and then rewards.

But I'm happy with my small FC, now if only I could get 2-6 other members to do trials, dungeons and perhaps raiding, that would complete the game for me ^^

All we make for the Ixali are various components though. I got the impression we were part of a huge project there.
