All of which is available in a FC house. Which is off-topic?
Not sure what you are referring to as ''group crafting'' tho.

That stymies the creation of New FC's, Join an existing one or play the Russian roulette of housing. Does nothing if SE is expecting an influx of new players with Heavensward. Our FC is a close knit group of RL friends, we don't have a FC house (but we do have the money for a medium) and dont want to be absorbed by another FC just for the sake of housing. Our own choice i realize but this does not excuse the lack of available houses, first-come-first-serve is a terrible way to do any major content like this. Could you imagine what would happen if Relic Weapons were treated like this? Only the first 1500 people to get their relic weapon get one, the rest have to wait for those people to sell, discard, or trade out their relic weapon.

Group Crafting is the new content coming in Heavensward where FC's build an airship in their basement and then can use it to explore new areas with RNG items and content. Yay for being locked out of that!

You can make lots of gil with that actually. Seen a few people do just that. (there's been a guy with 60+ MDs on my mb)

Its a chance too and not an optimal way to solve this problem. It still does nothing for new players or people who werent there the second the servers went live. I tried but had issues logging in for the first hour at which point i saw on the forums that my server had literally sold out of plots. I gave up and went to bed since it was 4am...

PS: I'm sure more wards will be coming with 3.0 but will it be enough? Is the current system good for personal homes? should the personal home be changed to a different system to free up the wards for FC housing? will the additional wards go to the servers where they are needed or be a blanket addition leaving some servers still full up while others have whole wards that are empty, wasting the resources.
