Housing-pocalypse is over, and FC's are the ones that lose out.

I think it's rather not fair to say "f*ck individual players, go get apartments, and let houses be for FC only".

This sounds as stupid as saying "I have an idea, let's remove all the benefits FC get from housing, that way they have no reason to complain about not having any".

I saved gil to get my house, had to wait for weeks checking every time "is there a plot available today ?" on the three cities, and I HAD an apartment.

I wanted a house. Apartments are too small, have no exterior view, no garden.

So no, sorry, but your Free company with a bunch of people doesn't deserve a house more. The fact that the system is TERRIBLE doesn't mean individuals buying houses are to blame.

I didn't get the option to buy an apartment with two floors, a balcony and enough gardening space. Blame SE, and stop trying to pretend housing should be a FC thing only.

Even if it was just Shirogane that was FC only, that would've opened up hundreds of houses in other wards via the relocate system, and helped hundreds of FCs that didn't have houses yet to finally live that dream. As it stands, most of the houses were sold to alts that people levelled up and fed money just for the purpose of buying a house. Not their first house... not their only house... but a second or third or fourth house that they could either decide to keep or sell at a profit.

So, sure, ideally SE would make enough housing available for everyone that wants one... but it'd be nice if, in the mean time, they at least kept the housing reserved away from the people that already have a house (or two or three) on their accounts. The relocation system was supposed to incentivize people to move to Shirogane, not to fire an alt at it and have multiple houses.
