Shell FCs are a bigger problem than we think...

How are they so prepared to have all those FC made, with a member with more than 30 days, 4 member, all ready for the 6.1 patch release.

I know of one such organization that does this, Each FC is capable of making 400k a day through Submarine and Airships, with 1 FC per world with the new patch limitations, on top of the FCs they've already acquired before the patch being grandfathered over. With all the account they pay sub for, it make sense that they're doing this for IRL gain, they can wholesale the gil they gain through these FCs making a profit whilst maintaining their Subs on all these accounts.

My speculation is that where there is an IRL gain, there is corruption, it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility that someone in SE is leaking info to said organisations prior to the public announcement so all these characters can prepare for the 6.1 patch ahead of time.

There was no leak from some insider needed. The only information needed to prepare was publicly released in the November Live Letter.

Every FC I have ever been in so far never let me do anything, no decorating, no gardening, no subs.. NOTHING.

Which is why many of us keep pointing out that being part of a FC that owns a house does not guarantee access to housing. The FC Master (and any officers who can adjust ranks and privileges) controls access and that access is usually reserved for officers only. Such restriction isn't without reason (trolling and theft are common when the officers don't use caution in assigning access) but it doesn't help the individual player who would like to engage with housing features.
