Major changes needed for housing

[linayar]

A FC requires a house to have a workshop and/or an Aetherial Wheel Stand to prime level 3 action wheels. Take houses away from FCs and they no longer have those things.

Yes, hence why I said they could have the leader do it at their personal housing.

Alternatively, if people want privacy, allow a special room from the FC leader's house that FC members can get into from the outside door.

Or they could move it to the GC barrack.

I disagree with this wholeheartedly. If any housing is removed from wards it should be personal housing and FCs should stay in the wards. And I say this with having a personal house. FCs have uses for housing that personal houses don't have access too and FCs give housing to more people overall. I don't think SE will remove either from wards, but FC > personal in wards if they were to change that stance.

Edit: I understand now why you are pushing for FC housing to not be a thing and it to be personal housing only in wards, and let personal housing somehow tie FC access if a leader wants to do that. This character (if your main or alt IDK) isn't in a FC. But for your idea to work, SE would have to do more than just make wards personal only. They would have to re-program multiple things to for your idea. And frankly, it's a bad idea. FC housing is something many, many FCs worked hard to get and still do. There is more tied to FC housing and many FCs use their house a lot. When the FC I'm in got our large it was during the great Christmas demolition - it was insane! And this was before the housing price drop. It cost us around 90 mil gil. We all worked HARD to earn that gil and we sat on it for a while, waiting for more housing to open up. And we still use it all the time.

That's what the post you quoted is about.

Well, the point is to fix the supply problem for all characters in a world so they all can have housing if they want to.

This character is currently not in an FC, but most of my gaming time in FFXIIV has been spent within an FC with a house surrounded by multiple houses owned by members, including my own.

What multiple things would have to be reprogrammed? The instanced nature of housing makes it easy to make special rooms within a house. That's why you can have FC workshops and even FC rooms.
