What do you look for in your FC when you consider joining a new one?

[Bearded]

Well I am not in a Free Company at the moment as personally I do not see much reason to be in one - no housing on world yet and all.

However I did briefly join a FC but left as soon as I found out what their promotion rules were I left it - basically you got promoted for handing over Gil and we are talking of amounts from 500,000 to 3,000,000 for the ranks they created. So this is a massive thing for newly created characters on that world. Now this was they say to build up funds for FC housing when it became available but it just struck me wrong that you only got promoted by handing over vast quantities of Gil and trusted that the leader would not do a runner with it all.

I guess as I am concentrating on gathering and crafting rather than combat classes I do not fit the normal criteria but on another world I was in a great FC that ran events regularly from ARR content through to what was then the current stuff so everyone was helped out. Too often not it is current end game only that focus is on.
