Just to nitpick, mostly but..

Housing wasn't a thing in 1.0.

It was added in patch 2.3. Now for the points!

1. I doubt this would ever really be implemented, purely because then all of your eggs go into one FC basket, rather than being a part of several FCs (for different reasons)

2. More control would be great, but people are very likely to abuse the 100% control in some fashion. The only ones coming to me at present would be locking you in a cage you can't get out of without teleporting, or blocking the door somehow.

3. No. Leave the grandfathered players alone. SE has said they've done nothing wrong and to this day they leave them alone. That means SE doesn't see them as doing anything wrong. Stop gunning for them.

3a. 1 workshop per DC? No. 1 gardening plot per DC? Sure, hardly anyone uses them anyways outside of growing Thav. Onions once every few months, so making it harder to grow them is objectively a good idea! (This is sarcasm, if you hadn't caught on.)

4. Increasing item count on houses / apartments will always be welcome. A large still doesn't feel very 'decorated' when you've maxed out its limit. But this is coming from someone that really likes clutter.

5. I see nothing wrong with giving every character on your account access to your house.

6. So.. You want to force -another- loading screen onto players, just for stepping onto their property? Yeah, that'll go down well.
