False. Most people are looking for GC housing.

If it's unrealistic to expect people in the FC to work towards a goal
The goal to work towards should be getting a larger house and filling it with rare furniture. Not getting a house *at all*

That's why ALL MMORPGs that provide housing have an entry level option to engage players in the feature, with much more costly options to look forward to for the long run.

And in light of the pathetic situation, if this is depressing enough for people to feel a need to quit, then just... wow... you should never play an MMORPG. You will always complain and always feel disappointed in life. If long term goals (that are not even remotely necessary), can be scary to take on, you're playing the wrong genre of games to have a lot of fun with.
Housing is a high engagement feature in most MMORPGs. That's why it's considered important by a large percentage of MMORPG players.

Maybe you should stop comparing what people expect from games with what people expect from real life, because it immediately makes your argument completely invalid.
