As a social scientist, I disagree. Cliques in my opinion -are- bad. They are blatant examples of social stratification and inequality of the others.Â
However I also think that being part of a clique is also damaging to ones reputation. Cliques for -anyone- are hard to approach and give a very stand-offish feeling to the members involved. They often have their own plots and ideas and when theya re together it is hard to veen be noticed with a post or not.
Not to mention half the roleplay in 'cliques' are not publically accessible for those who might want to join in.Â
For instance. I saw a few events going on by HoD in Ul'dah and Gridania involving massive fights. However it felt very very inclusive of only HoD members and felt that they had 'claimed' the area for their scene. Be this the intention or not, by only having guild members it felt like it was a 'cool kids only club' event.
I'm sorry you feel that way!
However, the only actual fight scene we have ever had for a company plot that was outside of a dungeon, Skype RP, forum RP, or at the FC house was actually done in La Noscea, or a recent small event in Coerthas. Anything else that may have happened was spontaneous or for a member's personal plot, not an actual official FC event, and therefore relatively small and purposefully very controlled for the sake of ease and simplicity, which takes me back to...

Had you asked, I'm sure they would have done their best to involve you, or politely explain why it would be difficult to work in your character. Which then goes back to simply reaching out to others rather than standing on the sidelines hoping they'll reach out to you. We'll have to agree to disagree on all points!
