This is getting ridiculous and I am going to upset people but it is the truth. Majority of the housing in the game is owned by private players when there are a lot of Free Companies that do not own one. You can not use Chocobo stables, Airships, or Aetherwheel actions without a house. There is no advantage or perks to owning a private house other than just to. There is no reason for one player to own a medium or a large plot either.... My FC has been trying for a few months since swapping servers to get a house so our sprouts can train chocobos and actually use the house. It is impossible to compete since private housing comes up first when you click to purchase. Then you have to scroll down then click when a private buyer can just spam the click. Im not making this post for me. I have owned medium private in the past. I demolished it because there is no point in one person to be that greedy when so many Free Companies are without one. I just can't stand to watch how ridiculous this is now. If there was enough plots for Free Companies to buy a plot and for there to be private I wouldn't care. There is not though. Any ward you go to and look at you will see majority are private. Ever ward is dead when you go into them because people buy a house and use it once a month. Sure its going to upset a lot of people but who cares by this point. As long as half of the Free Company features are tied to a house. There should not be private housing in the game. So either remove private housing and refund the players who bought them or add a ton of wards(which won't happen). Sorry SE you shot yourself in the foot on this one and to the players with a private house just buy a house in real life if you want one. Leave the housing to Free Companies who need one and can actually use them or just start a Free Company and buy one then..... Once again I am tired of seeing people say they deserve a private house when there is no reason to own one at all.
