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.
Allow me to clarify this as it seems to be a source of a lot of animosity. The problems needing solving I refer to are the fc-centric problems facing any given fc. I will give you an example. Should you attend or watch the stream, the Red Wings, in the course of our presentation, will state that we are having an issue finding crafters willing to help us build airships. We have several lv50 (all classes) crafters, but our assumption is that crafting the ships will require at least an 8 man party. Now not being able to build thee ships is a big problem for us and airships have been very central to our storyline. Now the DEVs have stated that small fcs will be able to join together to help eachother, which helps the issue. But our problem in point is only one other small FC has offered to join with us. So this problem we have I feel will be solved in this summit.
Other fcs also have problems/needs/issues like that. When I say solve problems I do not mean server wide issues and role play policy, I mean issues in FCs. That is why this is a FC event. I can surely be blamed for poor wording, but not for dark intent. That said I hope you will all set aside your suspicions until you see what it is we are doing. I know that is a lot to ask, but do try.
