FC housing still impacts more players assuming the FC uses grade 3 actions. You can't buy those from the affiliated GC. They can only be obtained by crafting the grade 3 wheels in the workshop then priming them on the wheel stands that can only be placed in FC houses. Once active, actions don't discriminate based on rank. Everyone in the FC gets that benefit.

Designating more wards as personal still doesn't give more players access to housing. A FC house is still serving at least one player same as a personal house.

From there it goes to the generosity of the house owner, whether FC leader or individual. The FC leader could potentially give up to 511 other players full access to the house, even if we know that's not how it works out in practice. The individual player could only give access to up to 3 other players. Should we also be getting on the case of individual owners who aren't adding 3 tenants and giving them full permissions?

All of this discussion keeps dancing around the real problem. There are not enough plots for every player who wants a house. Weighing ward designations toward personal does not help more players. It only cuts down on the number of players who can own multiple houses via FCs per world and SE could address that problem in other ways (namely, enforcing the one FC house limit).
