I'm talking about FC workshops. I was very disappointed to read the following:


Airship Exploration Voyage

We’re planning to introduce new content where you explore uncharted islands with your crafted airships. Multiple parties can explore the same island at the same time. The concept will be to defeat lots of strong monsters. Gathering nodes are also available on these islands, so once the island is secured by the battle team, gatherers will be able to gather items to take back.

We wanted to give an old MMO-like feel for this one, and for FFXIV it'll be fresh content that hasn't been seen before.
So, even though there isn't enough housing for folks to have a house, let alone a crafting workshop, even though there are many FC's without even the required number of members, SE expands the feature to provide even more content for this exclusive club.

The statement from SE that you can invite people to a crafting party through the PF is ridiculous. I've never ever seen such a thing in the PF and there is absolutely NO REASON that anyone would ever want to join such a party as there is no benefit to anyone except the leader.

Please stop releasing and then expanding on content that is deliberately excluding paying subscribers.
