this is a few compilation advice i get from reddit, so it's good to share with all FC Leaders :

advice to FC Leader :

1) Don’t stress out. Your stress will be passed down to your members. Consider your mental state before approaching problems that need solutions.

2) If you do nothing more prominent members will step up and they will side step you, over rule you, and expect you to step down. If you do too much you’ll
burn yourself out. Find a balance.

3) Find those prominent members, promote them and rely on them. You can’t do it alone. Trust them. Respect them. Forgive them. Be strong for them. Be
firm, patient and professional. Hold them to a high standard. Lead by example. But most important of all that is to rely on them because if you don’t you’ll
burn out.

4) Help the quite people. The loud people will get involved and help themselves. The quiet people will hope to receive attention but may lack the courage to
step up and ask.

5) Running Titans everyday will get people lots of Relics. They will grow to expect this and will appreciate it less. DO NOT GIVE FREELY! TEACH! Teach and
encourage them to help themselves. They will gain significantly more joy and respect for you and the Free Company if they achieve things on their own,
with their own strength. They will then help others which will remove the burden from you.

6) Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen! Then talk but only a little. Your words carry a lot of weight. Use them wisely.

7) Gear comes and goes. The game is about having fun. Don’t lose sight of that. Fun, Happiness, Joy… these emotions are what we want from the game. Gear,
Achievements, Bosses and such are just the way we get there. Focus on the emotions not the material (or immaterial) gains.

8) Again, don’t allow yourself to get too frustrated. Invest time in the Free Company and invest time in yourself. Keeping this in balance is Key. The company
will go wherever you want it to go, but only if you keep yourself in a healthy mental state. If you get stressed out, step back away from the game and calm
down before going back. Time and patience is the best remedy when all else fails.

9)people come and go, things get hard, but persistence pays off in the end if you stick it out. Remain positive, keep a good face toward the community and
help anyone you can. Remember that it's literally impossible to please everyone, just do what you know is best for your community.

10) As a guild leader, you cannot afford to take things personally. I've seen great guilds ruined by people who didn't take this one to heart. Your guild
members can, and often are, your friends. At the same time, they will have criticisms. Any good leader needs to understand that a problem they have with
your leadership is not a problem that they have with you. Welcome criticism, welcome discussion. Don't take things personal, don't let disagreements over
the business aspect of things ruin a friendship.

11) HELP! There is nothing better than a FC leader who will take time to help new people out. Go run Halatali with someone that just started the game, it makes
them feel like they arent just some faceless name

12) This position you face is a tricky one that makes you walk a fine line between being fair(not always nice) and being a bit of a b$#&rd. Learn how to
delegate to the officers in your FC. Also finding people in your FC that are willing to take on the mentorship role(s) and someone, maybe two to manage
the company chest. Dealing with a big FC it's easy to get bogged down in the micromanagement, but seriously, delegate responsibly and everything will
go smoothly, your job is to coordinate your officers and make sweeping judgement calls, micromanagement is surefire way to lose the respect of the
people in your FC.
EDIT: Giving out the officer roles and the associated responsibility is good way to place your trust in reliable members. Then if they want the job and
strive to take it on, they'll take it seriously.

13)Figure out what kind of FC you are or want to be, and go from there.

For example, if your FC has end-game Coil aspirations, it would be your duty to administer and manage the Coil team(s), making sure everyone is Coil ready (maxed out from Darklight upgrades, relic weapons) and has the means (ie. help from fellow members) to get there.

If your FC is strictly casual and is just a bunch of people who like to play together, there's not really much a leader has to do. Encourage people to help each other and be social.


there much more to it, but the most important things is, what is your FC's Goal? strive towards to that goal, encourage your team member toward the same goal, give them encouragement, help and advice.

I am the point 4 peeps. LOL!
Good one thought...

I used to do these things in other MMOs. Now I prefer to be a faceless, quiet member and do my own thing in the background.

The longer you have played the more jaded you become towards accumulating gear. In the end you're only there to share some game time with a few select friends.

recently has oneFC facing lost massive amount of player recently,

-due to force paid fc housing. xxk amount for newbie. -.- that amount is total rip of for a new member. yet this not malaysia, please dont rip off from poor people.

- member control really bad, member charging high price from other newbie for 10k each crafting. this is not helping is rip off.

- leader never listen advice from other member other than his coil team member.

- who pay more for housing, do the talking, now the bad attitude player were become high rank in the fc. both implement crafting charges.

- high rank player rarely helping low geared player and scold them in dungeon. "why you cant speed run, you are wasting my time." member with low geared were left out. lucky there some good hearted members helping them but i heard they left.

- they never know why the good tanker or geared old member left. know why? they cant take it anymore see the bully in fc and drama.

-they loud people in fc were the high rank player and mostly were bully in dungeon. and wiggle tail on T4 T5 coil group. boots licking

o wait sound like BN in this game.
like it or not i observed from this fc. rarely see other member talking other than the coil group and the slaves

i dont ask much of my FC but i only ask them to donate at least 5k a week have around 40+ players online, 40 x 5k = 200,000 is worth to be collected and everyone can share the house...

a measly 5k a week is easily obtain... yet is hard to convince ppl here... to do so..


You have those FC that force,
you have those FC that ask and never force.

Which is better?

should we really have to depend on self to do it for the sake of goal? or really work hard to convince own members to reach our goals?

which is better?

I'm trying to break the monotony of the now generation MMO players that only come log in and do End Game only then ciao when they have done so.

I really hate this type of occasion.

Sure the system was develop in that way, that doesn't mean that we can't do other things.

Long gone the days where we log in to MMO to enjoy the company of our companion in our FC.

donation have no limit, if set a minimum = forcing.
my advice, just let people who wanna donate, end up as the fc i said. if they willing is good but not everyone will do.

I find this post rather hilarious
Teaching one how to be a FC Leader.

Being a FC Leader is no different to be an actual leader.
Whether it is in Uniform Group, Team Events, Firm and etc, there's no difference between one leader and another.

If you think it is that simple to be a leader, why don't you start your own?

What type of a leader am I?
In game or real life, I am a leader who has an objective/goal.
This objective is to be obtained by the aims that is set.

If you want a successful FC/Guild, it is not about the size of the Guild but to actually achieve the objective that was set upon FC Creation.

And to achieve that, each members have to understand the aims and goals. With a common understanding, everyone is to try to achieve.

Failing to achieve... to me is something one shouldn't get upset about. It is just a process to improve and overcome that obstacle.

In relation to housing, my FC members have a goal to obtain large housing. Hence we budget and everyone chips in equally.

Whatever it is, a good and successful leader is one who manages to share and spread the understanding of the objective and together achieve it.

There's is no "I" in TEAM. If you spell TEAM as TIM... well then I have no further comments.

well,
this is for share from compilation i got from FC leaders in reddit, not i said u do this and u are a extremely great leader, u can take 1 or 2 or non at all, just follow ur preference, but u can take general idea from here, for me..i agree point no 4,so take note on item no 4



i did say, most important thing is what ur FC goal? strive towards that goal, encourage mmber toward same goal, yeah i agree with u, recruit mmber that have same goal, if ur goal to get to end game asap, then recruit mmber that have same mission, dont openly recruit people, coz openly recruit, u will be recruiting some leisure people that take time to end game, some people who online once a week, once a month, so not in-sync with ur FC goal.
before recruiting ask them, what their goal, just have fun time or end game, if it sync with ur FC goal, then take him


for Minimum pay for Housing
its really depend on that FC, as a mmber, if u found that ur current fc is not for u, just leave,
people who still stay is the one still believe in the FC maybe
but if u dont like the way ur FC leader treat u, then just leave, so many FC out there still recruiting, maybe have same goal with urs.

Imma drop this here and leave no constructive comments

haha lol!!!
the "I" trolling everybody now

Again like I said I still find this hilarious
every MMO there is some ppl wanting to post on how to be a good Guild Leader

To me when I read this, there are of course some points I agree but most of the points to me is not coming from a guild leader but some leecher needing help especially below



However again it is dependent on what is the FC objective which we have come to agree upon.

well..they said, if u want to be successful, learn from successful people

yes, not from these brats cause i feel this post you collected arent all from FC Leaders but just mere leechers who dont get help.
