Fake FCs' Housing Abuse

[KayrieFirepeak]

Yeah, there are nearly entire wards on Excal owned by shell FCs with only 1 lvl 1 member. And it's been like this for a very long time. It's insane.

[Jbh880115]

There are a lot of shell FC with only 1 low level player and a house.

Some are higher levels that have there own FC probably for airship and sub.

Just found where they sell some of them.

yep, i know someone who bought a medium house on shiva for 55 million , (he just got the FC leadership)

The downside is obvious, you can't join another FC if you do that.

The results that come from queries on the Lodestone originate from a database that uses outdated information. Whether or not that is intentional is anyone's guess, but do know that the information generated from such queries is inaccurate.

Here's an example of two FCs sharing the exact same name on the same server: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...&gcid=2&order=






You ever seen an FC with 0 members? Now you have.

Just had a small house go this morning, about 6 people trying for it. One person was saying they are literally on the verge of killing themselves, hyperbole I hope! But they said that and immediately logged off. SE really needs to add instanced housing. They make their players miserable with this system.

The only real fix for this is to limit houses based on account not character.

Would also add that they should make air ships etc available to private houses. The FC I am in is larger and the airships an subs are not available to us. And it was the same story in a more tight knit FC I was in beforehand. The only one's who really benefit or get access to that experience is the FC leader. I have a private house but myself and a couple friends want to experience that content. As such my alt has had to become our way of doing it. I made us an FC and got us a small house so we can have fun with subs etc. If I could do all that in my private house however, I never would have needed a second house. I don't like that I have to take a small house for this when I have a house but it is private. All well and good to get mad at the small FC's taking a house, but if they are in the same situation as me, I can't really blame them. They cannot access the content they want without it.
As for one's who make these FC's to then sell them on well.... If they add instanced housing people would have access and this behaviour would die off. I really don't like people just flipping houses for gil or worse real money. But I can't fault people for making small FC's on alts when they want to experience content they otherwise can't.

I keep my FC to have access to the 3 max subs and ship that I built available to me. I spent a lot of time on those but would turn the FC over to my friend in an instant if I had availability from my medium house.

Indeed, I do like an extra house to decorate. But I rather just have the subs in my private home and let the house go to someone without one. I look forward to building the ship stuff with my friends. At least this house will cater to three people instead of just me as I have help. But it's a big oversight from SE to leave it like this.
