Why is new housing restricted to FC purchase only? I want my first house!

[DynnDiablos]

I am not understanding why all plots are restricted to FC only and private citizens cannot purchase a small plot? Is there a reason Free Company's get first dibs? Here I am with gil in hand, ready to buy my first house after SIX years of playing and I am not allowed and it seems odd.

When do the plots open up for private citizens? When they are all gone? I don't see why those of us who want a private home must be forced to do this camping thing, where people wait hours and hours for plots to open up and then hope they are the first one to click purchase.

Couldn't they have made a selection of plots for private and a selection for FC?

Because fc housing has things in it, such as fc rooms, fc workshop.

Does your FC own a house already? Then you are a step ahead of people wanting a personal house - you can now relocate to a better plot later on.

Because if it wasn't you can replace this thread with "Why isn't new plots restricted to FC only? The market was flooded within a few minutes and my FC can't get a house"

a long time ago in the Shirogane Savage era,
when there's no restriction of private house buying on the new additional ward release

many small and new free companies that need house for their fc facilities
but the land they had longing for eternity, snatched in front of their own eyes
by personal that got lucky in server ticks and login queue

nowadays,
the dev implement the countermeasure
so fc could have the advantage of buying house in the new release of wards,
and the privateer gone crying out loud
because the land they longing for eternity snatched by those fcs

Your FC doesn’t need a large. No one needs a large. If people wouldn’t approach housing with such entitlement they could be happy with whatever they did manage to purchase.

Well, that was poetic.

I don't think you are the one to say what an FC needs and doesn't need. As far as entitlement who's "need" is greater? The private owner (1 person) or an FC ( a dozen or more active players)? The amenities and FC size, I feel, should determine the size of plot that even an FC can own based on need. I think "need" plays a role and it should play even a bigger role concerning FC vs Private owners. How to do this in theory is another topic for another day.
