Why is everyone so focused on Shirogane? There are plenty of us that own houses in other wards, and like our other wards better. Heck, my boyfriend is planning on relocating from Mist to Goblet. Just because you like Shirogane, doesn't mean all the rest of us want to live there.

Frankly, their "one FC/one person house per account per world" was a much debated argument (and agreed upon by some players) from the housing forums as a consequence of the failed 4.1 housing launch. So yes, they do stay in touch of the forums, however, they perhaps value the ease of quick fixes more. As players speculate deeper into 4.2 housing changes, potential loopholes and unsatisfactory conditions are found, namely ways to abuse shell FCs and (for me) existing players being grandfathered in.

I strongly agree with the term "band-aids" though, and as I have mentioned in other threads, I suppose the view that no true solution can be made unless the current housing system is being rebuilt from ground up (i.e. instanced housing).

So if someone has themselves in an FC and 3 alts does that constitute as 4 members? Just curious as I've seen this mentioned on Reddit...

There's nothing to indicate that it wouldn't work. The little housing page they released didn't specify that the other 3 members needed to be on, say, different service accounts nor that they had to be of a specific level to qualify.
