Didn't the funds get spent on moving some of the servers to europe?

I think one thing that could alleviate the problem of housing is to not make so much of the content revolve around it. So many events where the majority of rewards were housing decorations, not taking into account that few even have decorating rights in their FCs, and the rewards for those without houses just seem like its not worth the trouble. They do seem to be a little better about it, and those with housing would like new features, but I think SE needs to be aware that they should level it out a bit so not everyone feels left out. Chocobo training should be able to be done outside of housing. Dying them should be available outside of housing. Airships should be available outside of housing. Housing can be a nice thing to have, but when you make many of the games features exclusive to FC housing, you're really creating a bigger problem out of the one that already exists.
