Suggestion: Free Grand Companies

[RSS News]

my thoughts are that a FGC/GFC? would be created by 2+ free companies for it's establishing (and administrative) companies but also allows the acceptance of additional companies and FCless members once the FGC is established.
up to a limit of 8 FCs and a 1 FC limit worth of FCless members.

you might ask why?

• well FC bloat is a problem. these members can move into the FGC without any real change to their current playstyle.
• sometimes FC's split up over differing interests even though it's not really a drama thing.
• sometimes differing groups that form cause drama because their interests and attitudes just aren't aligned
• sometimes small FCs have trouble finding enough members for a group run thus ensuring ease of practice without some rando getting all toxic.
• ect.

so we see some current problems but what how does it solve them and what positives could it could offer?

• FGCs would allow smaller friendly FCs to more easily work together.
  while also easing some of the issues faced with big FCs.
  
• people who don't care much for chatting or seeing a lot of chat but still enjoy joining when someone randomly asks if anyone wants to run a dungeon/trial/raid/AR/duty get exactly what they want by being a FCless member of a FGC.
  
• people who join FCs just for buffs should be able to pick a set of buffs from whichever FC has a set up at so they get what they want without being bloat members.
  
• it also allows for the naturally forming group of friends who feel like they'd be better off splitting into a new FC to not end up forcing people to entirely ditch one group for another.
  
• this allows FCs to be less bloated groups more focused on the members actually interested in being in them.
  
• allows for a more natural FC recruitment path from the FCless members within a FGC. especially when coupled with the following idea.
