Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

Oh wow. FC's are players too and most use the facilities for more than just decorating. They have as much right to housing as anyone and more so than those that gets a house and doesn't bother to put a stick of furniture in it.

Most FC owners have their own house too.
Most FC owners limit what other players can do in terms of decorating, gardening etc.

The clue is in the name, player housing, not FC housing.

The community calls it player housing. SquareEnix just uses the term "housing" in all their official communications, so your ridiculous semantics argument is baseless.

As for your idea that FCs should just be chat rooms, that is not the standard in modern MMOs. Guilds, or each game's equivalent, have some form of guild hall which serves as a gathering space that offers services to guild members. It just so happens that in FFXIV they have chosen to have this tie into the same pool of ownable spaces that individual players have. You would get a much better reception if you were to suggest a way that FCs could have access to a guild hall that is separate from individually owned housing rather than just saying that they shouldn't have any space at all. That just makes you sound petulant at best.

In this situation FC housing allows a lot of players access to housing amenities that are unable to get a plot. There are FC rooms which are available to all members, and I dont know about other FCs but mine uses the garden to grow things for its members and allows everyone to stable their chocobo there and someone tends to the stable. This is as well as having vendors and gear repair in the house. I really dont think there are so many shell FCs that it would equate or even cause a surplus of plots with how many players using their FC's house for these things.
