"You are not authorized to purchase land"

So..did you get the FC to rank 6? Did you wait 30 days?? :confused: Next did you do this on a alt cause your current character is not part of any FC? Or did someone else form the FC and try? Or is this just a troll..

*there are none left now*
LOL LMAO GREAT SYSTEM 10/10 REVOLUTIONARY GAME DESIGN
It literally tells you.
the game like.
Literally.
Tells you.
Or maybe, to speak in your own language:
BRO THE GAME LITERALLY TELLS YOU, BRO IT'S NOT THAT DEEP MY GUY, THE GAME SPELLS IT OUT FOR YOU.
It literally doesn't until you actually attempt to buy a house but thanks for playing. And on top of that none of the galaxy brains telling me to abandon my FC to make my own just to be able to have a chance at a house bothered to mention this.
Maybe don't assume everyone knows what you know. Maybe have the ability to empathize with other people and realize not everyone is privy to the things you are magically by default.
Maybe. Just. Maybe.
Think I'm just going to assume any and all advice from this community is in bad faith from now on, some discord clique made something up in hopes to trick someone foolish enough to trust them even remotely and are snickering at me behind my back for following it.
This is how you destroy trust for somebody.
Yes it's buried in the FC tab among countless other things and you are not told by the FC npc anything about this little requirement, nor the 30 day wait time before you have the right to buy a house on top of this requirement.
Again, thanks for playing. But you're wrong.
BRO, SO NOW THE BRO-GOALPOSTS SHIFTED?
Initially it was:
Now its:
So is it that the game does "nothing to even suggest that these requirements exist. None. Never. Ever. Not even once.", or is it "It's buried in the FC tab." (Among every other thing that is related to FCs, so that's not an excuse.)
Curious what the logic behind both a rank requirement and month long wait time requirement are for owning a house. Seems odd, pointless,, and a total waste of my time even!
Yeah the NPC you talk to doesn't mention either requirement is what I meant which holds true. That one of those things is buried in the FC tab does not change my point. And I sure as hell don't see any mention of "You must wait 30 days till you can buy a house for your FC even AFTER ranking to 6". Wanna point out where that's mentioned, I curiously note you are avoiding this part of my argument, almost as if you know you can't defend it.
CURIOUS, NO?
REALLY
MAKES ONE
PONDER
SO BRO
You're telling me that the resident caretaker (which the game regularly points you to) does not have a menu in which there is a selection called "Housing Inquiries," where one can peruse all manner of things relating to housing?
It's so weird that I'm seeing this then!

BRO GO TALK TO SOME RANDOM NPC THE GAME DOESN'T POINT YOU TO (IT DOES NOT ELSE I'D KNOW ABOUT IT, IT'S NOT THE QUEST GIVER FOR ACCESSING WARDS, ITS NOT THE GRAND COMPANY NPC FOR CREATING AN FC, IT"S NOT THE GUY AT THE ENTRANCE TO EVERY WARD WHO LETS YOU MOVE AROUND), JUST SOME GUY CONSPICUOUSLY CALLED "RESIDENT CARETAKER" WHICH COULD MEAN A NUMBER OF THINGS, AND HE'LL GIVE YOU THIS CRITICAL INFORMATION
TOTALLY GREAT GAME DESIGN BTW BRUV
BRO JUST TALK TO THIS RANDOM NPC WHO YOU AREN'T GIVEN ANY REASON TO TALK TO WITH A BARELY RELEVANT NAME LMAO COMPLETLEY HIDDEN AWAY IN A WARD, COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM ALL OTHER RELEVANT HOUSING RELATED NPCS LMAO
LOL LMAO
LMAO LOL
ECKSDEE AMIRITE?
So now, instead of it being that the game doesn't tell you, it's...
The game doesn't hold your hand through every single aspect of it, and rather expects that people will be intelligent enough to click things. Continue malding lmao, I'm surprised you're able to keep your saliva in your mouth with the amount of hand-holding you seem to need.
Nope. In fact, the first thing I did when going to the housing district was click all the NPCs around to see if they had anything important to say.
Just a reminder, BTW, that you initially started by saying the game does not say this at all. :)
Here's a timeline of your goalposts:
Here's the issue, my guy
They break up the critical information and spread it out between various sources, or don't explain it at all, and expect you to just figure it out. Any and all information pertaining to housing should either be given by a single NPC (the same you need to talk to to even access housing to begin with), or a tab should open like with most other things in the game when you unlock housing that goes over everything relevant to it in detail.
Not, secretly burying a portion of the information in the FC tab (not housing, FC TAB) forcing you to scroll through it to find the information that you don't know you even need to know to begin with.
And then having to talk to ANOTHER NPC who is hidden in wards and you're given no reason to talk to or even any indication they bloody exist.
It's completely ridiculous and obnoxious the way they handled presenting this information to the player. Just because you read the information on some third-party source somewhere or one of your friends told you doesn't make you smart my guy. Stop pretending you figured this out yourself.

I don’t think having an adult-sized tantrum is going to fix anything.
Can you just admit you never looked beyond surface level heresay and never wanted to bother to do even the smallest amount of research beyond that? You messed up, you're angry that the already severely limited in-game housing wasn't as simple as "making the FC and just getting a house 4head", and never wondered to yourself why, if it was so "simple", that why isn't everyone doing this. Makes for a malding spectacle, for sure.
Also, The Resident caretaker is literally right next to other vendors, and typically right near a marketboard in every ward.

Of course I wondered that, I assumed most people would not want to abandon their own FC community just to buy their own house and tht alone was sufficient motivation for most people to not bother. Even still I suspected the possibility that there was some other catch I had not forseen, but I still hoped there wasn't, only to be learn the hard way the actual truth. Something nobody bothered to say.
They just say "lol make an FC and buy a house". Well golly-gee that's exactly what I did.
"Bro you're stupid for following people's advice to the letter"
Clearly I am. And it's the last time I listen to this community on anything.
Perhaps it's less so that you're stupid for following people's advice to the letter, and moreso that you're expecting randoms online to hand-hold you through the entire process. Truth be told, I'm worried your desk is a mess of saliva, considering you make it sound like you'd be drooling unless someone specifically told you not to, and then informed you exactly how not to drool.
Such an epic meltdown.
The NPC with the housing purchase information isn't a random NPC you're expected to figure out on your own. Every single quest you have to do to unlock access to a housing district will tell you to visit the Resident Caretaker to get more information about housing and how to purchase. Even if you had done the rest years ago, you could only have done the Empyreum quest this expansion. If you were planning to get a house, you should have done as the quest suggested and talked to the Resident Caretaker at that time.
The information was also included in the housing announcement posted at the end of March about the addition of Empyreum and the lottery. You've been in here a few times in the past complaining that players aren't being given information just to get referred to that announcement. I guess it was too much to expect you would have thought to check there for information.
Or you could have asked here for information once you made your decision since it was our advice to start your own FC that you decided to use.
Buy only HQ endgame gear (Exarchic and Neo-Ishgardian are fairly cheap) off the marketboard since HQ generates twice the Company Credits toward your FC rank. If you had done this back in April, it probably would have cost about 300k gil. Now I can't say because there are a lot more people creating shell FCs and some of them are using Data Center Travel to find bargains.
If you don't want to spend any gil, grind through EW dungeons using Duty Support to get gear to turn in. Not certain off the top of my head just how many Company Credits the dungeon gear will generate but you'll probably need about 100 items. It's better to sit at your personal GC (if that is different from your FC's GC) to turn them in after each run so you get fewer loot error messages for already having the item in inventory.
Dang bro if you spent your time reading the logs and preparing you'd have a fc house easily instead of venting here. Sometimes all it takes is a little bit more effort.
For future reference.

Though, not digging that out is not even the worst "oopsie" I have seens someone to suffer with their housing dreams.
Who the f uses gil to rank up their FC??
Guys, it has been said already. This is a forum troll. They purposely pretend to be stupid or angry, they get a satisfaction from people responding to them because they need attention and have no friends or people that care about them enough to check in on them.
Honestly at this point, just report the post. Starting up flame wars like this can only be the work of a middle schooler.
