Friends IRL that have decided they want to give the game a shot to play with me and my FC all noped out as soon as they realized they are limited in how they play with us since they can't create a character on our world. The inability to be a part of our FC and all that comes with that is the biggest blow.
And the thing is, if we could just transfer our FC and all it's members to Dynamis or Primal to join them where they make their character we absolutely would! With all FC achievements, house, and bank transferring with we'd pay that fee. But nope, can't do that.
So now we have an FC that can't grow because we like to play with IRL friends and none of those IRL friends can join and play with us. I don't know of any other MMO this popular that has these issues. It just feels like it's almost actively hostile to the player base.
At this point my entire FC is down to quit the game because we have people we want to play with and the Square has decided we aren't allowed to, except under their very narrow strict boundaries.
I get there are limitations, I get that SE obviously built things up in a shoddy way and may have coded/configured themselves into a corner with some of this stuff...but we are talking the company that literally ripped this game down and rebuilt it in the beginning because it failed to meet expectations at all. I would like to think some semblance of that company, one that understands fixing their mistakes and letting people that want to play together actually do so, would put the work in to make that happen.
Rant over, I just needed to yell this out into the aether somewhere.
