I don't see any flaws... oh, wait... *removes rose-colored glasses* ah, that's better . Okay, yes, the game has many flaws and time-sinks, and developers have to plan for things coming down the pipes. Yes, FC/Guild Housing is expensive. Yes, it will be considerably more affordable in 90 days (as Yoshi has said). Developers have to plan for the future content coming along with these. 90 days (Ides of March / March 15th) will likely be just before 2.2 and the BC Expansion, along with Leviathan (HM/EX), GKMMXII (EX), premade alliances (24-mn queueing for CT), further advancement of the ongoing story, Expanded Beast Tribe Dailies, perhaps much, much more... and then 90 days later (or so) the Personal Housing (Already stated to be planned to be much cheaper than FC Housing) in 2.3.
