Hi all, I'll get straight to the point and make this as short as possible. Apologies if threads of a similar nature have been posted before, but I feel it is an important issue.
Free companies right now are incredibly lackluster despite the big role they can play in the community. The following list is a basic outline of some possible improvements that I've come up with that could make the system more fulfilling.
FC points
FC's are granted ways to generate points to buy buffs and items. However, the accumulation of points is much faster than what you can spend it on. Many FC's are sitting at millions of excess points with nothing to spend it on, unless they feel like buying dozens of bahamut figures. Some spending options could be
>More Furniture Items
>Grade 3 (or 4!?) fc buffs
>minions or mounts
>glamour outfits
# of buff's to be enabled at one time
As an fc grows larger the needs of its members become more and more varied. Despite this, an FC can only have two buffs up at any given time, even at rank 30. This forces members to weigh their options and try to choose the best ones for the day, or go as far as rotating them throughout the day. and as the food buff is almost a universal benefit to all members, that just leaves officers to pick one other buff.
It would be really nice to have this bumped up to at least 3 buffs on at a time, even if it requires the fc to be at rank 30 to receive it. (currently, there is no benefit for ranks 21-30)
Grade 3 FC Buffs (are a pain)
Currently the only way to obtain rank 3 FC buffs is to specially craft them and then allow them to sit on the aetherial wheel stand for 70 hours. For reference, these buffs still only last 24 hours, and only provide a 5% increase to the grade 2 fc buffs. Please decrease the marinating time SE, or improve the % increase and make them grade 4! T_T
Encouraging Parties within the FC
Similar to the mentor/sprout buff, it would be pretty neat if players got an overworld buff while in party with their fellow FC members. Maybe a small stat or exp boost with a fun title to help encourage FC members to group up and play together.
Fix FC Rank Permissions
Players with the promote/demote power, or discharging another player, can still, for some reason, kick/demote players who are set to a rank above them (excluding the FC lead). Many free companies have had this loophole exploited and abused to their detriment, so it would be great if this were to finally be fixed.
In Game Polling
I just think it would be neat! And useful if you're planning big changes for the FC and want everyone's opinions on it (vs having to use a discord, or chase people down and ask them etc).

And that's just a few basic ideas. If anyone has other suggestions feel free to post as well~
