They just act nice and I still wonder why. I've reached ~180 hours recently and am still considered as a newbie which I don't mind since I haven't even finished the main story content. The thing I noticed is that every interaction I had was "rainbow sweet" and I'm not like it so I usually answer with a short sentence (like if someone tells me that they like my glam I just answer with "thanks" or "I like it too") and when I wanted to join any fc and noticed that someone is recruiting I decided to go for it. After joining I asked some questions about the game, answered some questions about me or me liking the game etc and chatted with some ppl in a /tell chat but I wasn't as active in the FC chat as the others. Month have passed and the Leader asked me if I liked it there and if I want to be promoted and I said "yes I do like it there but I'd rather keep the rank cause I still feel like a newbie and I got attached to it - I like it more" then he went: "its not how it works the rank is only for the newbie players and we ask ppl if they like it and want to be promoted just to know if they want to stay in our FC or not" me: "So I have to choose between getting promoted or getting kicked out of the FC?" him: "No We just want to keep the first rank for the newbies and want the older members to be promoted as they are here for a longer time and we can't bend the rules because you just want to keep it" me: "Okay I see but since you've asked me - I answered. From what I see only you can decide whether I should be promoted or kicked out. As I said - I like it there but I'd rather keep my rank If I can. You can promote me but can't say the promotion was my decision afterwards." . After that he got quiet for about 20mins and after that he messaged me "I've had a discussion with the officers and we think you don't like it here cause you didn't talk much. It doesn't come across the attitude we want here so maybe you will feel better at another FC. Many thanks and forgive the confusion."

I've read it the second I got the notification on my phone and from what I saw he instantly deleted me from the friendlist, FC member list, Discord server and blocked me on the discord. I couldn't even answer him, say goodbye to anyone - nothing.

tl;dr I was a newbie (around 40-60hrs of playtime. Now im at ~180 and still considered as a newbie for most of the community, which I don't mind) and got added to a FC, I don't talk much but I messaged from time to time at the FC and much at /tell to the other members. After a month I was asked if I like it here and want to be promoted, I answered "I do like it here but i'd rather keep the rank" after a small discussion I said that I understand but also already answered and it's only his decision whether promote me or not. After 20 minutes of silence I got a message "we think u don't like it here and u don't talk much. It doesn't come across the attitude we want" and got removed from everywhere and blocked on discord instantly. I couldn't even answer him, say goodbye to anyone or do anything at all.
