Re: Notice Regarding Free Company Rank Permissions

[Edgedy]

I don't see why we're using this antiquated chest/storage system.

In most MMO's we're able to remove X items/day based on a rank. Wouldn't it be possible to make it so that initially ranks are set to remove 1 item/day from the chest? And if it's a 999, they can take out 99 if it's set that way?

Recently, we have seen an increase in the amount of feedback regarding free companies, including discussions surrounding gil and items being taken without intended authorization, or the free company itself being taken over.

Many of these cases involve the abuse of certain powerful permissions that were granted to the default rank that new free company members are assigned to.

While the development team is considering making changes such as limiting the permissions granted to the new member rank, due to the complexity of these processes, implementation may take some time. In the meantime, we suggest that free company leaders pay close attention to the features of the permission system before assigning them to specific ranks.

When assigning permissions, please keep the following in mind:
- New members are always assigned a specific rank when they join. By default, this rank is named “Members” unless it has been changed by the free company.
- Permissions such as “Promotion/Demotion” and full access to the company chest should be granted with caution.

In order to keep resources safe, we suggest that players pay close attention to the features of the free company permission system, especially when recruiting new members.

Problem is 1 item could be worth far more than 999 other items. So that's not much of a solution.

They will just take out most expensive ones. Inital ranks should be blocked from taking items away from the chest entirely by default. They are just joined - why they can take something right away at all? (I mean general guilds with reqruiting advertisements where new members are normally just random players, not friends).
