Free Companies in my opinion should always have priority when it comes to houses.

Atm the fact newer guilds cannot get houses put them at a huge disadvantage in terms of recruitment against any guild that has one and the fact they have to directly compete with solo players to get housing should not be a thing in any mmo period.

1 man free companies are only free companies because of the title in game. They were suppose to be the guild function of FFXIV. A 1 person, hell even a 5-8 person group is NOT a guild in any way form or fashion when you look at what a guild actually is. In my opinion any free company that has less then 10 unique log-ins (Account wide main & all your alts = 1 login) should be auto disbanded after say a month.

Houses should also require an upkeep (TAX) to keep the house using your FREE Company Points that everyone in the guild helps earns from just playing the game. Not enough points at taxtime the house auto-demos, make it where say on average it would require say 10 people playing 12hrs a week to maintain a small house , 20 people playing 12hrs a week to maintain a medium house, 40 people playing 12hrs a week to maintain a large house. This will prevent dead free companies from permanent holding houses because 1 person logs in for 5mins every 29days to just keep the house.

As for trading with alts and shared inventory... SE just need to fix the problem. It does nothing to rmt. Does not slow them down, does not stop them from trading stuff between themselves, all it does is screw over legit ppl. The whole prevent mailing/sharing to prevent RMT is just a 100% negative with 0 positives. You just need to ban buyers and sellers (Emphasis on banning buyers), no content should be designed with deterring rmt as its focus it should be designed around being best for the legit players.

While I do agree that FCs should get priority, I strongly disagree with the FC having a larger number of members being a requirement. For me 4 is perfectly acceptable as you can do the majority of the game’s content in this game with 4 members.

Also the Tax system would just hurt people even more. Our small FC is very well established to make money. I alone could have access to something like 30 retainers and maxed subs/airships... so it would just be nothing to me. Even with a lot of members, a FC not prepared to pay out monthly is just gonna cause drama. Things like charging dues, etc.

That said, I and most of my Fc would also be perfectly fine if SE said “sorry individual homeowners, we are going to redo the system so individuals are instanced... neighborhoods will be FC only!“
..and I am saying that as a beachfront homeowner in mist on a very full server. Don’t really care about my neighbors with the giant Namath or Moai head..

Moreover, my FC has discussed several times that said we would be happy to give up our houses if housing was instanced. (FC of 5-8 members with 6 houses between us on a very full server. Tonberry, 2 Ls, 4 Ss)

Damn, someone getting salty over an one man FC because they are lucky enough to get house while they aren't, what next rip some one off thier mentor title because they doesnt do thier mentor roulette daily?
