I know players who started playing post 2.0 who have those tens of millions of gil. A few of them even formed 1-person FCs, so they can buy a big house all to themselves. They've crafted and focus on things that earn gil in anticipation of housing.

As far as poor FCs, housing prices will drop every several hours. The prices start high so that those who've saved and worked in anticipation of getting a nice house, or very large FCs that pool resources from all their members, get first pick.

You say you don't want instant free gratification, but that's what it seems like: You can't get the house you want on day one without ever having to work toward it, and so you're crying about it and calling it unfair.
