There's still a lot here that feels back asswards.

Of this I agree partially, holding onto mechanics? Perhaps. But I'm not certain from elitism. We learned in a LiveLetter that they even struggle making account wide items--though that too could be considered not can't but won't considering individual item sales will net more profit--but let us say they are struggling, the game coding for as much that has changed is still deeply embedded in archaic systems, dating as far back as 1.x, when they didn't foresee success or boom. The game has changed, the population has exploded, and they no longer have the excuse of being at the bottom of SE's budget; it is time for a change.

This actually was patched in, even with permissions changed so long as you are a member you can no longer be barred access; you just can't leave items in storage when you part, my company recently tested this to be sure.
In addition, free company leaders can dismiss members and their items are held in storage and can be retrieved by housing attendants.

To your last bit, to explain:
To revitalize housing away from instances, FFXIV introduced the concept of 'neighborhoods' thinking the idea of people visiting one another across the way would be quite the novelty. On paper it sounds indulgent, however in practice across all regions the concept did not catch. It was brought up in later 3.x in a LiveLetter that loft size options could be the answer rather than introduce more wards..once. And hasn't been addressed since, even when pressed the topic is pivoted to another. I'd settle for such a solution if it meant a piece for all.

As the black market kingpin, you know and abuse what loopholes you can.

Refrain. I will not ask a second time.

Lol, not only are you poorly informed about my FC, you're poorly informed about the housing rules. Go purchase two FC houses on the same account on Spriggan, you might figure out that there are no restrictions on FC housing

What he said. FC housing restrictions were removed a long time ago. That isn't to say they won't come back, but that right now, any housing plot is free game. Even to those already with an FC house.

So much hate for Mew, when they've played by the rules given to them.. I fail to understand why beyond "They have what I don't". To which my response is "too bad..?"

There's the letter of the rules, and then there's the intent of the rules.

What MEW has done is clearly against the intent of the rules implemented in 4.2, despite being within the letter of the rules.

For every time you post I link your back alley off site advertising in every report I send. Continue if you dare, but I told you I would not ask a second time and I meant it.

Sounds like you're roleplaying... alone. As if we care about any of this.

The issue with that is I believe SE would've stepped in, if it were truly against what they stand for. That and "intent" of the rules is up to interpretation, unless we're given a straight up Black-and-white stance to avoid the infamous "grey area".

Don't feed the trolls. You cannot stop Mew from posting on the forums, but you can disregard anything and everything he says as unimportant ploys for attention. He is not a certifiable source of quality information about housing. You can find his attempt at a worldview in the forum called "an in-depth analysis of the housing satiation" and lol about it there with the rest.

Let's stay on topic. This introduction of new houses specifically for FCs will provide a much needed opportunity for groups of gamers to enter the housing market. Of course, since there's otherwise no new rules regarding FCs to go with it, there will still be many corrupt players looking for a chance at getting a house with "ghost" FCs. I dearly hope SE will find a way to address this well-known issue.

Hopefully, more legitimate FCs than not will find themselves a home, but experience with players and FF housing has taught me to fear the worst.

Overall, I'd just like to praise SE for adding more housing. Thanks for your efforts.

If SE intended for one person to have 50 homes they wouldn't have a limit on individuals. This is clearly a loophole that allows people to circumvent that rule. This can't possibly be what they intended. However, unless I see their logic behind removing the cap on FC house purchases per account, I have no idea what they're doing.
