I just feel the need to put this out there. (1st post btw, hello~)*

The FC system as it stands it kinda weak in terms of a long-term community centric system. The lack of in-game communication (or rather restrictive amount of allotted text) and the need to utilized external hubs to accommodate that is just one thing, but I feel a good starting point would be to have the FC ranking system in the game as well.

A simple NPC at the 3 Grand Company locations or utilize a current one to check and see not only FC rankings, but to check personal rankings as well. I feel this would help small FC do more to grow as it would show actual contributions made to the FCs instead of simply "lack of talking in chat" or "lack of people to do things with/online playing".

The weekly and monthly placements for FC can also reward titles for said placements and higher ranked individuals/ FCs, could even have special rewards like coffers for glams/mounts already in-game or to be featured on the LftP/community streams.

Just something to help bolster longevity and a bit more engagement in-game for FC growth. Thoughts? Feel free to speak them or shoot this down as a good few will bc "eww competition" but competition is healthy in moderation
