Vindictive former FC leader manipulated her way back to kick all active members

[Fived]

I mean, the obvious thing to do is start another FC with all the actives that were kicked, no? It will not take long to level up if you were a contributing FC, right? It sucks to start over and all that... but what else are you going to do? Cap Lore and scrips for the week and chill in Iddy? At least you have a solid reason for doing more things in game than glamor and capping items for the week.

Well as an FC leader myself for almost 3 years now in this game, she acted quite selfish and wrong. Yes that might have been her own FC but she wasn't on her own. She's not with several npcs where she could do whatever, you're dealing with people here. So in my opinion, a very irresponsible person that wasn't really cut to lead a fc, since it sounds like she was led by her emotions and they got the best of her. That doesn't mean I'm free of emotions either but when it comes to deciding stuff, I'm always acting to what's best for everyone, even if it sells myself or someone else short.

Although it's partially OP's fault too though for not acting faster. You knew your FC leader's issues and personality, even though someone else had the leadership for a while. The ties weren't cut clearly enough to prevent her getting to her original position again. My fc had a few separations where a group within the fc formed and suddenly felt like they want to do their own thing, especially if you're not always in agreement with the fc leader's views and morales. It's only natural to start your own fc then within that little group, having your own FC with your own friends etc is always a great experience everyone should try out at least!

It would be really hard for the developer to regulate rules and actionable responses to bad FC leaders. Unfortunately you meet some bad eggs in video games, workplace, neighborhood, everywhere. As others stated the best thing to do is move on. It sucks, your money is gone, and it doesn't feel good, but that is about the only logical option.

I still dont understand why she was given power back? How does that even work...
"Oh, you need to buy a ticket to come see me? Here let me give you the FC leadership back because that will help"

I don't get this part. Even if she had changed and became a great leader how would that have helped her meet up IRL with someone?

[Grant_Wilshire]

The way I read it was that the "selfish" leader said she would finally pay for the ticket to meet the "boyfriend" leader if he upgraded her to full power in the fc. I assume this means meet in the real world and not in the beautiful land of Eorzea.

This might not have even been what happened - it is only one side of the story.

A plane ticket to go and meet each other...

Oh i see....so it was like "i will buy a ticket to meet you only if you give me FC master"....
So I read it likes the "new leader" traded the entire FC for this meeting! ^^;

It really sounds like you guys just need to create a new FC sans the old leadership.

What guys (or girls) will do for a chance at a hookup knows no bounds. The dude was probably thinking with his hormones, and not common sense. For all we know, she strung him along, giving him hope (however false) that something in terms of a relationship (or booty call) would develop.

Why are you in this FC?
Is there ANY chance at all Obama is behind it?

Agreed.

I can't believe that she scammed her way back into leadership in the first place. That doesn't even make sense.... but it happened, so...

It sounds like you guys are better off forming a new FC on your own. Take this as a lesson and learn from it. Unfortunately for you guys, I don't think SE can do anything about your situation. It's not like that one woman on Balmung who made it impossible for her guild mates to leave unless they paid her money. Count yourself lucky that being kicked was all that happened.
