No FC room, no personal house... big deal??

[NyarukoW]

Philosophical question for people angry about Apkallu-lover having a billion houses: if they are "selfish" for having so many houses, is that such a big deal? Aren't houses in and of themselves a selfish "activity"?

Houses should be FC only, and should never be meant for solo indivduals. House should not be "selfish activity." Personal houses for individuals will be like minions. They will be decorated and forgotten. Given the amount of work and resources SE put in, it absolutely does NOT make sense that houses end up like mausoleums, and after while lost to sands like the pyramids of the pharoahs.

The same can be said for a FC house...What's the point in it really? It's just fun for meet ups
and people to garden and just be silly. It's not a MUST-HAVE but it's just something neat...
How come people don't understand this is suppose to be fluff content?
Fluff content is when it's something that's no raiding or dungeons are grinding...basically a mini-game to give you more options in your game and down-time.
Lot's of games do it, even non-mmo's. [Not housing per say, but like mini-games.]
The more content the better! Granted said any content isn't horribly implemented such at this joke.
If houses were to be for only FC's then that is an absolute HORRIBLE idea. It was already a bad idea to make FC housing before Personal.
They claim it to test the stress on servers or some crap I can't remember...9 months post FC housing we're still reading the same sob story.


Housing is not meant to be a friggin' grind or for only a % amount of people to own it.

I could easily say that our neighbors (a 4man FC with a small house, who have not logged on in weeks) are selfish for taking up a plot that, say, a 100man FC could have gotten and loved using.

Saying that housing isn't selfish content is foolhardy. It entirely is. And that is the point.

Who are you to say that people buying their own houses are selfish? It's a discount teleport among many other small QoL services. Over the course of the hundreds of times you are gonna use it, that's gil saved until eventually you "made up" the cost of the house.

That is selfish. And if they don't use that house for 35 days, they will lose it so someone else can get it. SE already has things in place to counter some this selfishness. FC should not be individual FCs. And that is why there is a barrier to getting to rank 6 to get a house and a real FC gets to it much faster.

It is not a must have. However a FC house lets a group of people share in working together and coordinate and have group objectives. That is hardly the definition of selfish.
