SE knew exactly what would happen the minute the 4.1 patch went live, regarding the lack of housing availability. This has been an issue since housing was introduced into the game. Also, this should have been addressed long ago, before the ugly, got even uglier. Putting a band aid on it doesn't help and SE knows this.

There should also be guidelines for owning an FC house. At least 4 active members (player's alt excluded from these numbers) to constitute the right to even own an FC house. Players who fall below that and are not actively recruiting a limited number of fc members, aren't using the FC house as it was originally intended. Things like raiding, role playing, in game progression, crafting, etc....to be used for a set number of accounts and it's players, is how FC housing should be, but currently isn't. As it stands now too many players who label their house as an FC, really consider it more their personal home and exploit it and those benefits that come with it.
