We have a lot of "lone wolf" characters in our FC. In general, They seem to be popular among the RP community, so over the years I've put a contingency plan in place in our guild stories where it makes sense a lone wolf guy could join us, go do his own thing ICly, and still have a community to hang out with OOCly.
We're the more populace Night Blades, but had we known the FFXI holdovers from the old guild back in the day were coming to FFXIV, we probably would have stuck with Crimson Blades. AH WELL.
The best you can do if you refuse to join an RP Guild and want to stay a freelancer (Easier in this game then others because of Linkshells) is just wait for personal housing, which as far as I know id still going to be a thing.
FOR the guild having trouble, I'm pretty surprised they got all bought up myself, I think they should have opened more wards. I know we have a dummy FC with a small house, but it's the house we owned for 3 months while saving up for the mansion and we grew all attached to it. I'd look around for guilds who are doing the same, upgrading, and then snatching the house they don't want. You'd probably have to do some digging though -- when the Grim moved from their small house in Mist to their medium in Goblet, the place was bought up within a half hour.
Also, waiting for personal housing too will be a thing, since some people will probably move out of their cottages.
