This is a strange analogy isn't it?

Retainers are an in-game advantage. The more of them you can send out the more items you can bring back per hour, and those items can be used by yourself or sold for gil.

A buyable house on the mogstore would probably be a gil sink if anything, assuming they didn't remove the in-game gil cost.

Not saying I think it's right, just pointing out that I don't think it would hurt anyone besides the housing extremists. I can imagine these houses having completely different wards, and certain toxic elements in the housing community mocking them for it.
