I just got kicked

[cougarel]

The whole point of this thread is exactly what?
Cause tbh in the last weeks some are complaining for everything. Even if it's a general community , this doesn't belong here, it belongs in private or a in a ticket .
Whining won't win anything and will just baffle the rest of us .
My 2 cents, grow up, life is full of "surprises" and your generation is losing badly at logic and emotional control or restrain.
And trust me when it will hit in full force, either you will break or you'll face the situation. At this point you're in category 1 as most of ppl that i see complaining on this forum.

I think the biggest mistake was to even mention in this thread that you had filed a GM report at all. NEVER discuss your GM reports with anyone, anywhere, for any reason. By coming to the forums with this, there's now a good chance that people from that FC are going to think that your primary recourse for something you don't understand is to fill out a report. They will feel even more justified in letting you go. When they see a new FC tag over your name, they may even contact that FCs leadership with that information, and the new FC may decide that you may not mesh well off of it.
Not surprisingly, some FCs out there DO have players who engage in RMT; buying from them, selling to them, or even using bots themselves for gathering and mass crafting. There's also a possibility that you just got kicked from one because a member who did one of the above could tell how you felt about RMT, and felt threatened that you would inevitably find out about/report their actions (some people have been known to openly talk about their illegal activities in FC chat, and knowing a certain FC member is waiting to screenshot/report is.....)

I am understand that you did not like being kicked, but at the end of the day, the reason why the FC wants you gone, does not matter. If they want you gone, you are gone. Just look at this as a blessing in disguise and move on.

I have no clue what is going on and I never heard of this term of "trade down" if they just wanted trade some gear they could just asked that? Regardless seems like they where doing you a favor by kicking you so soon rather then after you put tons of gil in furnishings that get destroyed. It could also be a new player that didn't know what they where talking about and had no idea that gear bonds exist?

Just find another FC that fits you better, really not even sure what the point of this thread is.

Might be best to just buy an apartment instead of an FC room - same price/size, but you won't lose it if kicked.

Some FCs just have bad management, been in couple of them. Sounds like that was one of them, You better off not being in a FC like that.

[TaleraRistain]

Sounds like a douchey FC. They should at least discuss things with you before they remove you. You're better off.

There isn't really much in the way of 'shady' stuff you can trade in this game. Likely they just wanted to trade crafted levelling gear to an alt or such, not being able to mail stuff to your own alts makes this a hassle unfortunately =(

The only dubious area is of course RMT derived gil, but then they are more likely to ask someone they trust and have known for a while irrespective of if it was legitimately earned or obtained via RMT.

Either there's more to this story and your manners within the FC, or they weren't the right FC for you. Eitherway, you're likely better off out of there, take it as a lesson and move on <3
