They've decided to have both Free Company and personal housing be something exclusive with a lot of prestige. It's not a perfect system and there's ways in which it could be improved...but taking things away from existing players is a recipe for disaster.
Its a flawed system that needs a core change to ever have a hope of being "good" content. A significant one time contempt is better than slightly less significant persistent contempt. And taking away from players a broken barely functioning content and giving them a functional content is better.

Im sure if they add legacy apartments thats similar to a medium house would be welcomed if it meant more players in housing as part of the removal of personal houses.

You can't please everyone, but the way its going now, its not pleasing to most players and will only continue to be a disaster.
