Please give alts on the same service account access to the same personal house.

I play this game 1 and 1/2 year so i dont know the whole history of how SE reacted in similar situation or did they even make a notice on the forum that players who took advantage should revert back those changes/exploits, e.g. lets say a warning before some GM go ballistic with a ban-hammer. I know traditional/usual things for what you can (and probably will) get banned such as RMT, bots, discrimination, etc... but this is more like a grey zone and the company reaction is specific from game to game.
Anyway thanks for the info, but still undecided what to do.

I keep getting the feeling that they sometimes intentionally implement glitches like that for the players to discover them and mess around with it. Just to see what creativity it brings out of people and maybe also to give them what they want without officially giving them what they want. If you know what I'm trying to say. Else why wouldn't they completely patch out the floating furniture stuff or the add alts stuff? They could have done so already and didn't. I might be wrong but that thought keeps my hopes up

I can see that, but I think it's more that, if we've figured out a way to do the thing that they didn't give us but don't mind us having, they don't have to devote dev resources to it. While we all want an easier way to float items (or actual lofts or...) we won't yell quite so loudly for implementation on that score. We'll focus on things they haven't given us, instead xD.

Maybe i'm wrong so free to correct me. The only way i see SE closing one eye is if they intend to enable such feature in near future otherwise i'm little afraid for my account safety... or if too many people take the advantage then it would be a PR nightmare to punish all those players.

It was possible in early 2.0 to friend your alts by logging out in an instance. SE closed that exploit, but didn't do anything against those that took advantage of it.

Ok, thank you for the info.

Has there been anything for this? I'm kind of frustrated that I can't share my own house with my alt. I feel this would take care of a lot of the housing issue in general, too.

It's disappointing that the option to share or switch ownership between your own alts on the same server was not introduced with the big housing changes. :/ This is a must if you are going to lock people into one house per server.

May as well add my vote - and yes, I know I'm necro-ing a thread but it makes no sense not to be able to add my alt to my own estate or add them as a friend to be able to send cash or gear without a middleman.

They've got people on it, no eta.

Yes!!! Please consider this most valuable option, especially since implementing housing limits.
I created alt characters on the same service account a long time ago in the hopes of possibly being able to afford at least one more house in the future. I also created them before I even knew SE was considering housing limitations. I currently have only 1 house on a character I do not play anymore My current main active character has surpassed my old main (with the house) in all in-game content including becoming max crafter's. Since changing my main, which I did before the housing limitations were implemented, I have no access to a house anymore, or to cross-gardening for rare crafting mats, or have much interest in doing the seasonal events anymore for housing items, since I don't have a house I can use them in. Sure I have an apartment on my new active main, but it is not the same without the outdoor housing which comes with the privileges of owning a private house. It is extremely frustrating, especially since I pay more for an account which allows more than 1 character, and I have no use for alts anymore. I am holding onto a house I do not even use anymore, since I don't play that character anymore, and I don't want to relinquish the house on my old character and try to buy a new house on the character I am currently playing knowing all the camping issues, restrictions and limitations that may make it impossible for me to even buy a house on my current active character, even if I could.
At least consider the option of allowing those members who pay more for accounts which allow alts on the same service account, to in-game mail to their alts!! Then I could at least use the cross-gardening to grow rare "marketboard expensive" crafting materials on my old alt with the house and in-game mail them to my new active alt or vice versa. As it stands now, I have no interest in my alts anymore, since they are of no use anymore, I am considering letting the house go and converting my account back to a single character only, SE loses the additional money they get from members like myself who pay for and created alts on the same service account because of housing in the first place.
Being more interested in the housing/crafting/gathering sections of Final Fantasy than in high end raiding, having alts for houses I cannot buy make absolutely no sense anymore.
