I for one can assure that its not Black Sun Vanguard's intentions when signing up for this, its more of a chance to see what alliances and contracts can be made with other FCs (Such as resource trade, information, allies for similar causes, ect.). Sure, you can use the forums to do this, but sometimes getting ahold of someone on an opposite schedule can be a pain, much less being sure if an FC you are hunting down is even active anymore.
I think a lot of roleplayers across Eorzea want a more united RP scene outside their usual group of friends, and if connecting some FCs can help with that, I can't see why it would be a bad thing.
While not in a FC currently, I think I can address some of this.
In the OP, it was advertised as "solving problems". This heavily implies WAY more action than the infomercial setting that was later argued as the point. Â ...I think it was bolded somewhere above, but after the split/migration, I can honestly say I'm not going to be reading back trying to find it.
