That's still about 6% of housing that can be allocated to people that can actively use it. SE said we aren't getting more new wards because they can't do the heavy datacenter work that would be needed due to covid, so if that inefficiency can be eliminated through adding an FC restriction (that should have always been there to begin with), that's still about 6% of housing that's back in the market.Quote:

09-01-2020, 12:46 PMPewPewPewPewPewThe fact that you are so nit picky over small numbers like 1 to 3 people in an FC or 6% makes it very clear why you completely dodged the main question I asked you as a followup to when you drilled another user in this thread over how everyone with less than 4 people in an FC should have their house taken away. You clearly have no rational argument to support your insane reasoning. In favor of 6% housing you say? 6% is such an insignificant number that only someone like you looking to pick a fight over every little pebble would irrationally concern themselves over. Hell you'd probably even cry over 1% if you had to just to push your meaningless opinion war.Quote:

SE said they can't add hardware due to Covid, so the only other choice is optimization. In other words, force everyone to comply by the same restrictions outlined at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ .Quote:

Private house =/= FC houseQuote:

09-02-2020, 08:05 PMKenkyNo. Not "in other words". Optimization doesn't mean compliance or enforcement of rules. Look up the actual term, please. Incase you're against that, let me say what it means here.Quote:

And yes, Private houses =/= FC houses. But if you were actually paying attention to housing in general. You'd realize that FC housing barely scrapes above 30% of all owned plots (the number isn't concrete, but that's a general ballpark estimate) So where do you think the 70% is? Private housing. The fact you are so adamant in terminating 6% of the housing (that you dont even know gets used) means anything that isn't FC-related (while also complying with your personal belief of it having to be X number of players in said FC, which is laughable in its own right, given a single person can get four of their alts into an FC and circumvent the problem. Almost as if that's already occuring! Huh.) is also under the same scrutiny of "It's not needed, thus get rid of it."
The fact that it had to be explained to you shows how pointless this entire conversation with you is. But here we are again!
I mean, hey. They can easily fix the FC player requirement in just a flick of the switch. Make it so three / four unique accounts need to be considered active within a set time. But they're not going to do that, because that is a reason for FC members to either kick everything that's not online every day, or make people avoid FCs even more than they already do, completely contradicting the entire point of Free Companies and FC-Housing in general.
To create a small Community and promote making friendships. Though that depends on the FC, it is at least (in my personal view, which can be wrong mind!) what the system is for. Same with Guilds in WoW and Guild Wars and.. Other MMOs and such. -

Yes they can then go below 4 members and still keep the house, but that's not what you asked...
