And, why should SE implement these “restrictions”? What if a small FC of 2~3 friends doesn’t even want to buy a house, but just be in a Free Company together so that they can make use of the private FC chat (without taking up an LS spot, since those are limited), or the FC chest? Why punish them for not having 4 members (especially if they aren’t interested in buying a house—hard to believe, but not everyone wants a house)?

I get that you’re “angry” about the Housing situation, but implementing even more arbitrary restrictions or punishing players that only have 1 or 2 friends in the game for not wanting random people in their FC is not the answer. SE never removes old characters that haven’t been used in years. They won’t even delete the mass amounts of RMT bots that have been banned in the past. What makes you think they’re going to start auto-disbanding Free Companies?
