There is no coding possible that would stop it short of disabling all player trades for all people and creating an automated system for selling houses. Disabling trades hurts a lot more people than house flipping does so that would be an extremely bad idea. Any automated system to restrict the price of plots can be gotten around by player trades. IE, buyer must trade the seller 50M gil before the seller initiates the house sale function for the buyer.

Trades to cancel buys is a completely different issue than house flipping and is irrelevant to that topic.

I just hope they keep relocating system, I just want to switch my house spot xD

But I do hope they will make house limits, one house per server PLUS letting alts share the one house they are given. Like this they wouldn't have to listen to complaints so much and having the need to release more wards.

If retaining external fixtures applies to the complete external housing glamours, might be good to snag a few of those while they're super cheap from retainers bringing them back and demand being low. Going to be fun to change things up without completely negating the work on glamours that the fc has done.

I want to be able to move the ceiling fixture also. I was going to make the ice one for the large downstairs med house room but it would be in an awkward place simply shining a blue glow where it is not needed instead of over my huge table. Fixture placement especially with room separation is bad.

I'm most excited about this. The fact that interior/exterior items would get destroyed, some with no way to get them again other than buying them on the Mogstation at outrageous prices (yup, I'm looking at you seasonal wallpaper for $5 each) was ridiculous.

This likely might have a negative impact on the cost of housing items through the MB though (chandeliers/walls/wallpapers) because we'd only ever need to buy them once. :O

Off I go to start hoarding now while the prices are low. XD

Now homeless /single house/multi house owner we all gotta at lest agree this is wrong lol basic math will tell you how far off they are.. Just the NA servers right now have 72,000 houses,latest Unofficial census has NA with 360,000 characters just over 300,000 Accounts.. So no matter what number you use they HAVE to release a ton more wards...Cause we havent even added in FCS owning house with those numbers..And just asking my fc seems everyone has 5-6 characters weither there low level or level 1s on differnt servers for weeding...so the 60,000 extra characters the number that own houses im betting is under 5,000

There is no solving the problem untill there is more houses then characters and fcs

if i recall (and i was barely awake at the time) it was mentioned in passing for possibly 4.3, along with Cross server Linkshells.

I'll be honest, i don't recall it all, i'd been working on about 2 hours of sleep and i know one of the translations had it, but it's since been pulled...so i'm not sure on the validity.

I think cross server LS is something in the to do list for this expansion but we haven't heard anything beyond that they're looking into it.

they've been talking about it, but...the problem is not being fully awake. I know something was mentioned about the two, but i don't recall exactly what. an early translation that i read over after i'd taken a nap said something about 4.3 for both, but it's since been removed.
