Major changes needed for housing

[Reinha]

Well technically there is no owner of a FC it's owned by the members. It's not like a private estate.

Maybe it should be like a private estate. This would solve the issue of people having 1 FC house and 1 private house on the same character, and also the issue where people transfer FC leadership to bypass housing restrictions.

Just allow players to link one private house to an fc and let members use it according to their rank and refresh its demolish timer. Should the player leave or get kicked, someone else can link their house to the fc. Also limit ownership to one house per account.

Again, going to say (since this exact suggestion came up in another housing thread):
- This isn't fair for FC leaders. So our members can have private houses but because we choose to open an FC, we lose the right to it. Why do we have to give up privacy just because we want to help people? There's nothing wrong with an FC having their own estate and also being able to own our own house. The issue is that FCs are set up so that you can just inherit new ones.

You're also heavily assuming that members will have housing to link. Myself, my bf (current leader) and another couple are the only ones in our FC who own housing and I doubt that they want to give up their right to privacy for the sake of an FC either if he and I left the game.

So, please. No. Not this. How about we either just fix apartments so they're actually appealing or the devs rip apart how FCs are coded into the game and make it so they can be tracked the same as personal houses?

Yes you're entitled to a private house just like everyone else. I wouldn't worry about it the dev team isn't about to change that. They certainly recognize the difference. I have a small FC I share with friends and my alts on Spriggan with a private right next to it. I'm entitled to my privacy just like anyone else.

I didn't say it has to be the FC leader's house. If not enough players in the FC have a house, you could pool your Gil and get a homeless FC member a house they can share with everyone. Or is the problem that you, as the FC leader, don't trust any of your members to have control over the FC house?

Either people can inherit a house with FC leadership, or FC housing isn't tied to FC leadership. There are no other options.
