Fix Housing Megathread

[Almagnus1]

2. Shell FCs. Not really a solvable problem unless you can come up with a system to protect small FCs from losing their houses if a member or two stops playing.

It is, and if you are referring to the micro FCs (that is, less than four people) in many other games guilds get outright deleted after they drop below a specific membership threshold (like only having a single member). With proper server-side logging, SE will be able to see which FCs are abusing any membership requirements (by rotating players amongst them, for example), and be able to take action against those FCs. IMO SE implementing a FC deletion policy would basically solve the shell FC problem.

3a. No single player owns a ward, so this complaint indicates you do not understand the game mechanics. A minimum of 8 players are needed to own a ward.

Except the two on Mateus proved this wrong... and they did it because they have grandfathered-in personal housing in addition to shell FCs... and yet you want to claim that grandfathered-in personal housing isn't part of the "I own a ward problem".

3b. Should 8 FCs fit on on one account, though? Much like issue 2, this is going to take a sophisticated solution or it will hurt casual players.

And like I have been saying for a while, FCs should check for number of account subscriptions (and it should require 4). SE can do something like a time debt when you drop below four (so players have a grace period of sorts, and pay off the debt at a constant rate by being at or above the subscription threshold), or just take the simple route of having the FC get outright deleted if it drops to just one member. And (as I have been saying for a while) with all of this the gardening and workshop should be accessible to the general population (largely because most FCs lock out this content to most members). FCs should be better defined into a social thing (as that was their original intent), especially since talking to yourself is not socializing.

Hey look, it's a solution for this issue that won't hurt the casual players that you keep ignoring EVERY SINGLE TIME it gets posted.

There is is in one brick, since itemizing it was incomprehensible to you.

And there's the responses that you will either fail to acknowledge or strawman into something else.
