Your Point would be valid if SE made us beat the game/side missions, level all jobs/crafts/gathers to 50, Obtain all Relics, beat Turn5 10xs, Defeat all Extreme Primals/Ultima/King/, Obtain all minions and whatever else you can think of.

But having to accumulate up to 625mil GIL that ain't Hardcore, That's called Shit.

And I really don't think its fair to players to invite them to a FC just so they "Donate" Gil to buy a handful of people a big ass house. Does anyone honestly believe that in a game where the highest man content is 8 players, That a FC with 512 or even 100 players are going to be a close group? No! What's stopping these FCs from invite the max amount of players, Then having them donate gil and once they buy their house they start kicking players left and right until they get down to their friends?

I have a small FC of 4 ppl (2 of which just started a few weeks ago) did I expect to get the biggest and best land no, But I did expect to get at least the smallest. And I'm not taking Advantage of others to get a house.
