They backpedaled because a crappy solution to their crappy system is not good. It would only be a minor bandaid that would address only a tiny fraction of FFXIV's housing problems.

The system needs a complete redesign into fully instanced housing that everyone gets for either an extremely nominal fee or simply after unlocking it via a quest. Start with a small-sized house. They can then spend as much gil as they want upgrading size and/or decorating it.

Basically, they need to copy WildStar.

TBH I think the private FC rooms are even worse off than private housing. If anything goes wrong in your FC, you lose all of your stuff, and people should know by now now tenuous guilds can be.
