Allow house buying by veteran status

According to the newest September FFXIV census, people with high subscription days are only a small percentile of the player base. I do not think FFXIV wants to lock housing behind this system, which will only result in disappointment among new players who genuinely wants a house for their own sake or FC. Meanwhile, I am pretty sure majority of the house monopolizers are veterans, who can simply give their existing house to their alts just so that they can purchase more. This would not solve the issue, not to mention additional resources and efforts in manage the time slots. I much rather they put more effect in actually fixing the issue, instead of being encouraged to apply more temporary band-aids.

Like most housing "solutions," this is just a justification for why group A deserves housing more than group B, by someone who glosses over that they are part of group A.

"Veteran" already got in the past easier way to have house than "young" people.
Earlier you played FFXIV, more money you had when house were not cheap as now, and so, more you could buy house...
I had mine this way.

I dislike to reward with anything that offers gameplay because "you are older" ...

BUT your idea could be good in other way : FC before personnal
YES there is shitty FC useless, i know, but if it helps "normal" FC to get house, i think it will be a GOOD thing

SE has been doing a lot to help new players catch up to veterans in the shortest time

Change in veteran rewards, level/story skip potion, roulette and WT bonus to inject veterans into old contents

You think they will lock down houses to veterans? Not a chance

I assume that would make no difference on my server where over half are legacy players with more than enough money to buy up all the plots. And they would, 3+ each home or more just because they can before the second wave of longtime players even has a chance. Until there is a limit on how many homes any given account can have, there will always be a shortage.

This literally would just swap around who owns multiple houses per ward.

You & other long time vets were rewarded with playing a game you enjoy. Had you (general you, not you specifically) used time and experience better, you probably would have had a house already lol
