I am very disappointed with the Player Free Company Housing system that is being implemented. This system effectively makes it so that only a relatively small group of players can use the housing system. From time of launch, myself and a friend have been saving Gil for the promise that a Player Housing system was coming soon.

It's great that over 400 items are being implemented and that crafters and gatherers will be receiving an influx of stuff to do. With that said, it sucks that your average player is going to be able to interact only with the creation of these items but not with any application of their use. The market for crafters is going to be smaller than it has to be too. This housing system is Free Company Housing, not Player Housing. The only players that will interact with the non item creation aspects of it are the FC Leader or FC Officers.

I sincerely hope that SquareEnix does not decide to ditch Player Housing in exchange for a Player Rooming system. The ability to be assigned / manage / create your own room within a Free Company house up to six months away from now is not interesting to me. I can understand how it may be interesting to some people, but I do not see it as a realistic alternative to actually possessing your own space. A room within a Free Company House can be (potentially) taken away on the whim of the people that manage the FC Home.

Player Housing is a minimum of 6 months away, if it is ever implemented. Is anyone else disappointed by this?
