Well, the idea is that it would be a huge cost to do so, so much so it would be impractical for most players. Instead, it would be something more for people who plan on playing a long time as that class, or for people who want to have a linkshell superhouse for members to gather at and use the facilities of. Sure you could mine gold ore all you want in your own home, but it would cost you a huge amount of gil and items to do so. (In this case, you would probably need at least grade 3 or 4 node unlocked, plus gold ore unlocked for it, which might run you a total cost of several million gil and a lot of gold ore or something to do so.)

It's more something that only hardcore people would do. For those who don't want to spend those start up costs, they could easily harvest in the field instead. And the only real advantage home harvesters would get would be no aggro worries, and a good amount of mining places don't have those worries anyways. That's why I'm not too worried about player abuse, since if it's implemented correctly there shouldn't be any worries about such abuse due to high start up costs and not much advantages over field areas.
