Should they make workshops

[Jojoya]

available to everyone in their house? FC workshops are outdated and not everyone can use them. IMO I think they should let everyone have their own workshop and be able to craft airships/subs

If it's outdated content, then no one would want it and so it's pointless to increase access.

Of course, they aren't outdated. They are still relevant and so still useful.

Keep in mind that giving everyone access would decrease value of many of the items, impacting what makes them desirable in the first place. Is having a workshop going to be worth the millions of gil and months of effort when the items you get from voyages end up selling for 500 gil on the marketboard (which we've already seen happen at times with a few of the items unique to voyages) and house skins are selling for less than the materials needed to make them are worth?

Personally, I don't care if SE were to decide to do it but I imagine most players wanting that personal access would end up extremely disappointed in the result if they got it.

They should allow every player to have 1 submersible and 1 airship minimum without a house. They should be able to go to their grand company to send it off on missions. When you get a personal house you should then have 2 of each, then FC still have 4.

If they did that housing exterior prices would tank. I don't want that sorry.

My idea was that the Grand Company version you would need to buy the sub parts from other people or the marketboard, since you wouldn't have a workshop. They could add new loot that the regular player would want, instead of cryptomeria logs etc. Then the player house one + FC would be the only ones able to craft with a workshop. You'd say no thanks to this also I bet, but houses are rare enough that the market won't be that bad. There's a guy on my server with a retainer called Mannequin-j or something, and he singlehandedly undercuts every wall by 200k each time. Cafe walls have tanked to 400k per.

I also make my money mainly with walls and subs, but I would much rather every player be able to experience content rather than the select few.

This is incorrect, the most efficient payout is extravagant salvage which is sold to an NPC for fixed prices. However if Squenix decided to do this, they would probably lower the value or remove them. So in essence the same would happen I guess.
