FFXIV FC Drama is always the wildest stuff. xD My wife got kicked from an FC she was an Officer and Founder in because she kept calling out the FC Leader's best friend for being a huge homophobe towards lesbians. The guy would literally talk shit in Officer chat about any lesbians in the FC literally any time he saw them, and my wife started dropping screenshots of the Officer Chat in the Discord so everyone could see what a piece of shit the guy was. The next day, we woke up and she had been removed from the FC, banned from the FC website, and kicked from the Discord all overnight without anyone consulting her, and the leader had posted a message in the Discord saying that it was a 'mutually agreed separation'. For some reason, they didn't think to kick me too while they were at it, so I just dropped that it absolutely wasn't a mutually agreed separation in the chat, told the leader to fuck off and left myself. I've never seen drama anywhere near that level on any other MMO I've played. xD For some reason FCs really do seem to bring out the absolute worst in people.

[@mukakruda8474]

What happens when you give some people power, or what they think is power, they go nuts, happens all the time with people being put in leadership positions irl, and in games

[@Topazzzzzz]

so instead of getting rid of the actual problem, they got rid of the reasonable person. Says a lot about the kind of person the leader is too, ngl. it probably really sucked at the time but its good you got out of there.

xD CUTE! n.n

[@aphilli97]

I mean I don’t think anyone should talk about any sexual shit. I don’t agree with lgbtq but I don’t have to. I don’t hate those people I just don’t agree with their lifestyle choices. And that’s perfectly okay. Don’t talk about irl shit or sexual preference in game it’s unnecessary lmao

[@Stonehenge-Man]

I really do miss Merrel. He was a friend of ours back in Azure before we all left. When we did the 24 mans together, the party with him was called the "Blue Barracudas" which is a reference to Legends of the Hidden Temple. I always called it Blueberry Cooties because I knew it bothered him. He also kept a high quality wahoo in his inventory, so he could link it in chat 'Wahoo' anytime something big happened. And lets not forget that time we caught him wearing the shisui tank armor. We all teasted him for it and he got really embarrassed. Fuck, I miss Merrel.

[@rainboweclipse9249]

Imagine how Reika will feel like when they learn that outside their house exists. Also, you can actually watch Azure's content like their assemblies, podcasts, and whatever tf by googling them.

[@Liavain]

As someone who was there for "The Sundering™", it's quite surreal to watch a video about it on KZbin. My sister-in-law and her Significant Other were friends with the Council and part of the Scouts. After everything Reika pulled, they left FFXIV and refuse to come back. Azure was my first FC on Midgardsormr, after I had transferred from Gilgamesh due to FC drama there as well. Reika is a Diva who lives off of power. Nothing they say can be trusted.

[@crashb2007]

6:14 Okay, now that we're here, story time! So... this fella tried to make a claim that they were part of an FC Leaders Discord and that they are an admin. So, allow me to tear this apart, because this person was only right about an existence of a FC Leaders Discord. Here's where it gets funny. They are NOT part of that Discord, and never will be now that things hit fever pitch. However, Turks FC, the one being targeted by Azure during December, is. So, I catch wind of this by thanks to Turks FC leader posting an announcement in the chat, explaining what had happened a bit. Myself and one other FC Leader did choose to look into logs regarding that event on December 10 (when the incident at the lawn of Turks FC happened). And then I see this announcement at 6:14 here a bit before I finish with catching up on the log. I had this most annoyed/pissed off look on my face and had to, in the most blunt and polite way I could, to say that them being part of that Discord was them being full of shit. And if they really were part of this Discord, my co-captain, myself, and the other FC leads would have gotten DMs from Reika about this. There's a story as to why Azure already had a red flag or two with my FC, but that is a story for another time. TL;DR: If Reika had not mentioned about the FC Leaders Discord, let alone lie about being part of it, they would have not have 3 FC Leaders all adding them to their shitlist for lying, let alone what all they did during this incident.

[@TFalconwing]

No joke, I kind of want someone to threaten me with a restraining order and a civil lawsuit over a video game guild just so I can see them try desperately to get this taken seriously in court. And also so I could laugh at them for having to pay the filing fees.

[@dafire9634]

Once i joined an FC that at the time, i was not aware was one of those extremely carebear FCs, I got kicked for calling someone out for taking a picture of the screen(blurry too) instead of a screenshot, and yes, they were playing on PC

[@Xilibrius]

I raided with a group of people on a different server after making friends with them in a random pug how ever after time some of their new fc members wanted to raid so i was going to get pushed out because at the time i wasn't a member of their free company. I think free companies matter for that reason because a number of people view them as a club with club expectations. I ended up deciding to move to their sever because i liked them and ended up getting to stay in the group where as the other person who pugged with me at the same time ended up losing their spot and it caused friction between me and them. I continued to raid with them till more or less the raid group dissolved mid endwalker.

[@Scionofgreyhaven]

With all the modern day conveniences like social media, discord and whatever else people use, FCs/Guilds don't really matter like they used to back in the day. You really dont even need a website or anything like that like you might've back in the old days of MMOs.

[@Enderlinkpawnu]

I was a part of an FC that split into two. I am in both of their discords, and while I am only an official member in one, I talk to and participate with people in the other, because they're my friends too. But yeah, FC drama is wild in how crazy it gets, despite its inherent pointlessness. Its also wild how I recognize a lot of these fcs because I am on Midgard. I have a couple friends in the Turks and even in Azure for example.

[@Izanagi-Arsene]

generally speaking, fcs are required for the introverts and people with social anxiety. lot of people won't join discord communities b/c they can be massive, scary and intimidating places with member counts in the thousands. Once they join usually the server goes "HEY THIS PERSON JOINED SAY HI" and then everyone and their mother says hi and immediately scares them off. it is much easier to ease them in through a fc especially since only the people online at the time see the "this person joined the fc" message and it's usually a couple his as opposed to the aforementioned server letting everyone know their here.

[@QuintemTA]

If your anxiety is THAT bad even joining an FC could be too much. Big Discords barely pay attention to new members joining. Moderate sized ones will be more active in welcoming people. Either way, if your anxiety is so bad that people saying hello in text form on a Discord causes you to that terrified you need serious therapeutic help. I say this as a person with social anxiety issues.

[@meuanglao7]

@@QuintemTA hi hello i am /diagnosed/ with social phobia and chronic anxiety and if a discord server has more than like 5 people i mute literally everything and turn on notifications for only mentions. most of us learned how to do that quick. don't be an asshole. i won't join an fc on an alt if it has more than 20 members. i tell them thanks, but your fc is too big for me. as most of us do. it's easier for us to ease into social shit through a game where people only have access to us when we're online, rather than discord where people expect to have access to you all the time. i've had to say more than once on discord that i'm available when i want to be, if i don't answer it's because i don't want to be. but people still expect you to be social in fc discords.

[@meuanglao7]

that being said, my main and primary raid alt are in solo fcs lol
