You lose access to personal land to garden on and the ability to hold a stable, which is fair. To repeat it in case it wasn't clear, I agree that they dd a shitty job making housing available.
Is buying and decorating a house something one does in the game? Is raising a chocobo, gardening, and dyeing a chocobo something one does in the game? The answer to those questions is, of course, yes. They are part of playing the game. Anything that you do in a game is content. The game is not defined solely by its dungeons and PvP.

It's not necessarily unreasonable, but that would certainly make him stupid. Anyone can look at the trend in MMOs today and see that personal housing is extremely important to the playerbase.
