One thing we've always done in Folly Company is to have an armory account that all of the house mats go through. In a sense, we've always done "house crafting." This way, there is an account that the leader, captain, and select few sgt.s have access to. Also, having a dummy account dedicated to this builds in some accountability, as the top brass of the house can always see the inventory of the house. I see no issue with having the leader crunch the mats by pulling them out of the house armory account as needed. This dummy account also has the added bonus of being active even if the leader is not online, allowing all house members to actively keep trading mats in to the central inventory. Keeping a separate account for house crafting is the best interim solution to some of these concerns, IMO.

Also, another good idea is to have the leader or captain state in the message of the day what the house is crafting toward, what the house needs, who will be getting the item, and what lvl the house is at. FC has done this from the start, and it saves people from feeling hurt or left out of house crafting. As the leader, I often ask what people need or would like crafted. When someone makes a request, it goes up on the MOTD along with what we need to finish crafting it. As long as this is all transparent, the house issues should be at a minimum.

But doesn't the character get bound to the person's account creating it, meaning the password is the same for all characters of that person?
