100% agree the current housing isn't good, i'm new-ish to the game our fc tried to get a small house after us grinding 5 mil to purchase, myself and a friend spent 14 hours spamming the purchase alongside 8 other people, and still we and 7 other didn't win so we all wasted 14 hours of what could have been enjoying the game trying to get a small house.

I personally feel fc's should get their own instanced streets where it only is shown to those in the free company and others who are specifically invited to visit. I love this game I have come from 15 years on World of Warcraft with my wife to ff14 and gameplay I am in love with as well as it's community but this (although not seen as massive to most people) is a feature that I feel hasn't been looked at well enough. Fingers crossed something gets done about it.
