Why exclude people from Chocobo raising?

"Chocobo raising will be accessible only to those that have a free company house."

This is something I was looking forward to but being picky about who I play with I've been very happy with my little Linkshell, whose members span several FCs. I don't see why they decided to limit it to FC members with housing only? There's plenty of Chocobo NPCs out in the world ? Anyone have any idea?

With private rooms being limited to those with FC housing (why not allow us to have permanent inn rooms?) I'm disappointed with what I've seen of patch 2.3, a couple of the coolest features I won't be able to access unless I join an FC which I've happily done without so far

People in small FC's without housing lose access to these features too, I don't get why SE would stop some of their playerbase accessing Chocobo raising (housing I can understand a little)?

It's the same with housing anyway. It's only for those who have the money.

We have a lot of functions only for the rich in this game.

Probably because they will be introducing company stables with it and you need property to have stables. No property, no stables, no means of raising chocobos. They will probably expand it to include private houses once those are a thing, but we have no timeline on that yet so... yeah. And, just to point out, we DO have permanent inn rooms. They haven't kicked us out or charged us rent yet so they are as permanent as permanent can get right now. Heck, they used to be a home point before we got this new teleport system.

Agreed. He even said they will look into making it where you can do your chocobo raising from a porter at some point in the future. So how about instead of excluding a lot of players from this you actually implement that right away so every can use it. Willing to bet there are far more players that don't have an FC house than those that do. This isn't a feature that should be exclusionary.

Working as intended, they once more try to force us creating big FCs...

[ServerCollaps]

you can buy a house for only 2m, what are you crying about? thats like nothing and really EVERYONE can afford that

[Seif]

Well that's boring. I love my chocobo VIVI but I won't be able to raise one without a FC? :/

"Chocobo raising will be accessible only to those that have a free company house."....

I recall before HOUSING implmentation, it said HOUSING will give advantage to FC members so please look forward at it..etc ^^;

[Elim]

Join a FC then you wont be excluded. I'm happy there's advantages to being in an FC. I don't see an issue with it. We have some advantages already; they're just adding more. This is a MMO afterall, not a single player game.

Not all small FCs will be excluded. My FC is small. It's basically just my raid group but we saved up enough gil for a medium house.
