Feeling punished for having alts...

Actually I'd argue they should take this a step further and even allow in-game friends to share houses like this too, similar to a FC house but on a smaller scale.

The weird part is that this is already allowed by making them tenants. We can share our house with other players, but can't share it with our own alts.

I think the only reason you can't Tenant your alts is because you can't add them to your friends list.. And the only reason you can't add them is because the person you want to add needs to be online...



The easiest workaround that wouldn't open up for friend add spam from the gold spambots would probably be adding into the companion app the ability to add characters to friends list.

I should've clarified a bit better here. Yes, you can have your in-game friends as tenants, and you can even give them certain levels of control over your house, but let's say for example that you and I are in-game friends and we go in on a house under my name...then I don't log in for the 45 days or whatever, despite you still doing everything to maintain your part of the tenancy throughout...house gets demo'd. I'd support a system that allowed us to share in such a way that either of us using it would keep timers reset, that we could both have equal rights managing, and that we could easily both "go in half" on the original purchase (rather than having to give all the gil to one of us to buy it).
