I'm still boggled by the scale of this, but it almost certainly applies to other servers too...
Today I went looking through https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/freecompany/ at the different FCs we have on our server, and I noticed an interesting pattern of some FCs...
What amazed me was the scale of some of these... on my server alone (Lich) there were, by my estimates with these criteria, 330 FCs encompassing ~11,000 characters. This compares with a total of 5,363 FCs on my server covering ~50,000 characters! The largest of these was a whopping 185 identical lalafell BLM50s and WHM50s all grouped together under a single banner, although beaten by a very similar FC on Shiva with 241 members!
So i've made sure to report this to the Special Task Force via https://support.eu.square-enix.com/contacttop.php?id=5383&la=2&fty=2 just based on the data from my server, but maybe this is something other people should look into for their own servers too?
