Some of the reasons I left various companies:
- Too much emphasis on a select group of people in the FC - newer members (esp. greensprouts) often ignored, didn't really communicate withothers outside their "circle"
- The members in charge were inexperienced and couldn't really offer anything/ weren't up to date with newer content
- On the flip side, the members were Savage elitists no casual players felt comfortable playing with
- Chat completely silent, nothing going on
- As FunkYeah said, the "get on TS/ Discord or be an FC outcast" issue; not everyone prefers to use it
- Crude/ immature/ drama-mongering behaviour
IMO, the best companies have a strong sense of community, are welcoming, friendly and helpful, make an effort to have everyone feel included, are active and up to date with the game, keep things fresh by trying out different content together (ex fights, Coil, raids, Aquapolis, etc.) and treat each other with respect. Can't go wrong with that, really.
