FCs are not the major problem though regarding housing. Data shows that majority of houses are owned as personals at least on NA DCs.

The persistent ward system, combined with player population and the low gil cost to get a house are the major problems.

More wards is only kicking the can down the road, as long as SE sticks to the persistent ward system.

At this point, the most feasible thing for SE to do, would be to improve upon apartments, so that they can be upgraded all the way to large penthouses for gil and balconies for gardening.

Also delink the FC workshop from housing and make it accessible from the GC or something.
