To all you successful FC leaders... How did you do it?

[raffydturtle]

You seem to be under a massive delusion that you're special, OP.

You're not.

You want to be some sort of big-shot FC leader.

The first step is to become a big shot.

30 million gil? Just last week I gave away multiple sets of pentamelded crafted battlegear probably totalling to over 300 million in value. 30 million gil is chump change for anyone who wants to be deemed as "someone". I can PRODUCE that much value in a week, on a whim. You took 6 months to ACQUIRE that much. And I'm nowhere near the top of the economic ladder of my server.

What about raiding? I see no logs with you name on it.. I'm going to assume you're lacking in this category as well. Probably gonna beg for some carries as well..

So put me in the position of a prospective member: Why the hell would I give you my "loyalty?"

You offer NOTHING. You ARE nothing.

You TAKE TAKE TAKE, but have nothing to GIVE.

Good FC leaders are Givers, not Takers.

No Free Company under your leadership will ever be worth anything outside of a few snickers from what few people are going to be aware of you.

Who would want to join that?
