Is there something I can do about a corrupted FC?

[Umbreon_skystorm]

Hi everyone,

I dunno if we can do something about it but...
I was from another Free Company, and they were building their airship just before I left... today I learned from a friend that left just a few days ago that they built all 4 set of airship parts (before 3.2) with the help of all the FC because he said the airship parts binded with an X airship... (he was the only one with acess to it and there is a total of 168 active members acording to Lodestone) so all the FC worked hard to build all the 4 parts, then sometime after I left the FC, the guildmaster locked the company chest to use as his personal, no one can get a single stuff from there, there is a full load of materia that he said he will gladly sell to his FC mates, and the sold all the now useless parts of the airship and stayed with all the money just as if he did it on his own...
Can I do something about it or this sort of corruption is ok since there is no law about who gets what from the Airship loot.

You already left, right? Move along and go about your business.

In Eve Online, they would laugh so hard about the idea of getting your stuff back they'd have a stroke.

Really all you can do is report them to a GM, explain the situation, and let them make a judgement call on if any rules have been broken. Otherwise leaving and blacklisting are your other options.

He isn't even in the FC, and heard of all the information second-hand. Suggesting he contact a GM is a complete waste of time, for both him and the GM. On top of all this, it's been shown time and time again these situations are within the rules, because of the permissions system with the FC chest.

There's no need for him to white knight over this or seek social justice. Again, he isn't even part of the FC he mentioned.

That isn't even for you to determine, it's for a GM to determine. That's why we have them. Especially for issues as complex as this is and involving as many people as it does.

This is no longer his issue. GMs will not investigate secondhand information like this. He's no longer in the FC, nor is his friend. If the people in said FC have a problem, they need to report their grievances to the GMs, who will then tell them they won't interfere with issues between players. Nothing the FC master did was against SE's policies. They donated the items to the FC. The FC leader can then decide who has access to those features. is the FC leader a jerk? Sure, but the FC still has 170ish members. This means a whole bunch of people don't care enough about said issue to stop enabling him.

Now I remember that thread from not so long ago where a player reported a guy who stole from their FC chest and then left. And people were all like 'Haha your fault, the leader's fault, why give permissions' etc.... And what when leader fucks the entire FC over? Then what?! Ugh.... Idiots.

Report, and hope it gets fixed. Or just mind your business since you left. That's what you can do.

yes... I'm doing my own business right now... some of my friends from my ex raid party created a free company and I'm there with them, but it's kinda sad to see ppl taking advantage of others like that...

It is sad indeed. Unfortunately, you can only recognize that you don't have control over it, accept it, and move on.
