I think there is a lot of misconception about this housing system they implemented. As suggested it's barely bigger than the inn's room. The cheapest is 8m for what you can already have for free, just minus features like furniture. I would expect a house of this size to be the size for a personal house but for an Free Company house it's asking a lot for that price. It's as if they are implementing the idea base on culture. (Yes certain place have what is call house as small as that with four or five people living there.) But this is a fantasy not real life.

Also this community is giving some pretty weird signals. Yes congratulation you spent countless hours on achieving something in a virtual world. Sadly, it's just a game you didn't actually earn anything and housing is never a hardcore type of content. It should absolutely be for casual players because that is what it was made for. You want entitlement of spending hours? You already have that it's a game call Life.
