Workshops - getting 4 people in there to progress a tier is getting tedious

[QT_Melon]

Bump because THIS NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. Seriously, it is getting ridiculous how under-used the workshop is thanks to this pointless and bothersome restriction.

It's possible it may have changes during a big content odd number patch like 4.1. Mainly because this is when they said they'll shift focus on other content vs designing another dungeon for roulette. With housing coming up they probably want to introduce it during there to get people to actually use housing more.

Only problem i see is system being exploited by the 1 player fc houses. Need to be system that reward large fc and not just 1 person or officers. We don't need more 1 person fc. This why housing crisis is as it is.

I don't think 1 person FCs are really the reason for housing crisis. Housing got crowded when personal housing was introduced along with FC housing. I think it's best to do a bit of research before using a knee jerk reaction to blame someone. It takes 4 people to sign up for an FC to begin with, many factors come in when it's reduced to 1 person.

Well, the reason for the "problem" can also vary server by server. idk if Ultros counts as high pop but I'm sure there are some servers that were packed before personal housing.

Ultros is medium to high population. It also doesn't have a housing problem like other servers have. Reclamation opens up places on a regular basis. The last release of new housing wards also took a couple of months to sell through (I got my personal house like 3 or 4 weeks after the most recent wards were released and had plenty of choices.) Housing does tend to be full, but reclamation is doing its job.

I think to avoid it being exploited, they could have something which you NEED a certain amount of people for. I don't think airships should be gated by a 4 person restriction however... Ideally i'd just love this restriction as a whole to be removed. But if they wanted to keep some content locked to a larger FC then so be it. I just think it's a shame the smaller FC's don't get to witness the airship ventures like the much larger FC's do.

It's Patch 4.1 and we got an entirely new housing area, Shirogane! Those FC's who were lucky enough to grab a plot can finally do some company workshop crafts, but sadly, everyone is too busy raiding Shinryu EX, running dungeons with their GC squadron, checking out 24-man Ivalice, having fun with Hildibrand, spamming the new Expert Dungeon, turning in collectables, grinding POTD, that they have no time to stand around in a light party and watch others submit materials. Great job on the new content SE! Also, waiting around in party finder for hours for people to join your party just to stand around in your workshop is NOT a solution and it's NOT fun. If a single player can buy a personal house (Plot 30/60) in Shirogane, why can't a single player craft a lowly aetherial wheel for the FC? (Side note: aetherial wheels lasts only 24 hrs.) SE, you made a MOVE function for housing, now please address light party requirement for company workshops! #NEVERFORGET

Sigh.
Another patch, another... nothing.
It's been a garbage system since day 1, and needs a fix, badly.

[amoralisch]

this really needs to be removed. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to get some crafting done late at night when nothing is going on on the servers.
