How do you effectively recruit for your FC at endgame?

Edit: I understood you're mainly looking for people to run Savage etc. with and replied based on that, but if you're just looking for people to join the FC, that's a bit different.

A few of our members are interested in Savage content and raiding, and would like to get a static together.. But we simply dont have the people for it at the moment. The rest of us have little to no interest in the Savage content or raiding.. So eventually it would be nice to have enough people to be able to have a static, without that being the primary focus of the FC.

Right now we're just trying to find members.. People to talk to, and play the game with. On a low population server with a small amount of friends/fc members even still playing the game, it feels pretty lonely most of the time.. We just want more people to play with.

I think the main thing in FC recruitment is to know what your group is about and make that clear in your recruitment message. In other words, think what you can offer to those who join and also what you expect from your members. Why should people join your FC and not some other? Make sure that everyone is on the same page. In addition to the current situation, it's also good to write about your goals for the future (like perhaps starting your own FC static for the next Savage).

IMHO the current system makes slamming your head into the wall of clearing current content not worth it for most of the server population. Sure you CAN put in the time and effort for the rewarding clears. Alternately though, you can just stay casual and waltz through most of it 3 to 6 months down the line un-synched with better gear. Last night I did an un-synched Odin for the first time since clearing it back when it was released... the fight went from a tight dps check to a complete joke. The same was true for the EX primals at release, vs when they raised the droprates on the ponies much later. I mean, if you are truely out of everything else to do in the game, the endgame grind is there for you to die over & over to, but at that point most would rather just play something else for a while.
