Of course, our FC kept recruiting even after official launch began, to the point it grew to a little over 120 members. A lot of whom were obviously not as far as the people with early access. Whenever anyone, including my wife and I, would ask if anyone could help with a story progression dungeon or a primal battle, we would be met with nothing but silence, a vast majority of the time. Not even an acknowledgement. A "hey, we see you need help, but we are in the middle of our 20th AK speed today, but we would be glad to help when we are free."

It got to the point where there were apparently two separate fights over FC chat that I wasn't online for but heard about afterwards. So the FC's leaders were aware people were really feeling ignored and left by the roadside.
