Can we PLEASE get an in game option to decline FC invites without /busy

The easiest way to avoid FC invites is to just join an FC; You get free buffs and people to chat with.

Some people are not social people and don't want to be in a FC, there should be a option to auto decline invites.

You don't even have to be social if you join an FC. You can literally never interact with anyone and benefit freely from permanent XP buffs among other things. The worst you may run into is having to say hi back when they say hi to you when you log in.

Some people are so weird and self-defeatist sometimes smh.

People are the way they are. Most MMO's have options for this kind of stuff anyway and should be there by default.

I don't want to have to put up with people.

And ... you just provided "the" perfect example why some of us will rather not chance obligate ourselves to a social group, err we run into someone like you.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or feel sorry. Life must be very difficult.

Imagine thinking wanting to play on your own and not just simply pad someone else's numbers is "weird and self-defeatist". What's fun about being in an FC with people you never have to interact with? You can also get the same buffs from squadrons.

I am not surprised what-so-ever that you have reared your head in this thread lmao.

Honestly, Solo FCs have been such a consistent red flag when it comes to certain types of people, maybe it's a good thing that those people feel compelled to make them. They're usually shelters for people who constantly instigate interpersonal drama but never realize that they're the common thread.

If you've got a problem with me, either say it outright or keep it to yourself. If you're trying to vaguely refer to the fact that I'm in an FC with one other person, then you missed the mark. I play with my partner exclusively, regardless of how we interact with other players. We use it as a private chat for when we're in duties (since you can't send tells), we share materials and items using the company chest (because it's easier than mailing them or waiting for us both to be online to trade), and have greater control over what daily buffs we get. Not really anything to do with "instigating personal drama", I just never liked joined guilds/FCs with strangers or exceptionally high volumes of members.

Anyway, don't take your problems out on me, pal. Sounds like you have your own personal issues with "solo FCs".

Yikes dude, maybe you should focus less on what others do and focus on yourself.

I made my own FC months ago. Not because I'm into instigating drama though, but because I hate drama, and I hate being hoodwinked more after giving it some time and thought. My experiences with FCs in this game hasn't been the best, but it was nothing I did, or even necessarily anything others have done. They are usually led by a clique and are typically dead silent in FC chat. Most people who join are just a number and little else. I don't really fault them for that because it's simply bound to happen, but it doesn't make my stay in an FC particularly pleasant, especially if there happens to be one or two people that really get on my nerves. Being in a solo FC isn't about others though. It's about what suits my own needs. I get personal buffs and sellable items, among with other added bonuses. No drama, no cliques. Just me, myself and I and 0 down sides to my situation. Initially I was just trying to get that Odin figurine for my house, but I ended up preferring what I had built to "social" FCs.

this is EXACTLY how i feel. most FCs i've been in since i've joined have been very clique-like or they rather care about numbers and will spam invite everyone without an FC. i guess the buffs are nice and all, but i could care less about chatting with cliques or a group with an assortment of random people who were invited for numbers. it's so much nicer being in an FC with irl friends, or some cool people you meet in the game who are willing to join your FC and help it grow.

Since ARR I've been using them for Storage. Now, also included airships/subs, design, and I don't have to ask anyone permission. You see a loner and it's a red flag? you need to change your perspective homie
