Ishgard Housing Transfer System Unfair

[EdwinLi]

The real mistake was allowing personal housing and free company housing to be jumbled together.

Ya that was a mistake they should have avoided to begin with.

Didn't they originally said that Personal and FC Housing would be separate?

I think they just said the pricing would be separate, but that turned out not to be terribly accurate either. The easiest solution to this is to instance the personal houses and leave the wards for the FC housing.

I certainly would have prefered Instance housing over the current one for Personal Housing anyways.

As much as the entire Outside Yard being part of Housing is nice for access to Gardening and Chocobo Stable they could have added a smaller version of Gardening and Chocobo stable for a instance Personal House version such as a Gardening Pots that can support 3 seeds and a chocobo nest to be used for a single chocobo for personal Chocobo stable function since a Personal House would only be used by the Player's own chocobo rather than a bunch of players in the FC Chocobo stable.

Even if the personal housing was a plot of land you bought with trees and rocks and other rubble over it. You would need to clear the land to be able to build your house. Once your house was built you had the rest of the plot for all the "outdoor" furnishings. It could even go as far as being able to upgrade your plot to accommodate a larger house (for a price) and have it all as some reward granted through storyline accompanied with a Gil requirement at the outset and each subsequent upgrade.

There was so much potential with instanced housing I feel was missed. It felt like they had a good thing with FC housing and either ran out of time or resources to give all players a personal house. I would be willing to wait for personal houses to actually be personal if that was what they wanted to do. Instead we don't even have a FC house for much the same reasons.

I honestly think there needs to be a 60 day abandoned property limit on houses. Especially on high populated servers. If a home owner is offline for 60 days, the property is flagged abandoned and put up for resale. If they log back in after 60 days, they can go to the little guy and get their housing items back, but they are S.O.L. for the property. If you want to maintain ownership of the property: keep an active account and log in at least once every two months. This would definitely help with the turn over rate for home ownership, and reduce the need many many many wards.

Haha this remind me how in some countries that is how it works. If u live in other place, but u have houses in those countries and u leave it vacant, for certain time, u don't have any right on that property. if someone took over the house and was living there for that certain time, they are the new house owners.

There's a difference between leaving it vacant, and leaving it vacant while still paying property taxes and other associated costs.

There is no way in hell anyone would get away with just moving into a property I own and am paying upkeep costs on, just because I don't happen to live there. There would be some hell to pay.

If a company chooses to relocate it's headquarters IRL, many things are lost and the costs can be tremendous. The workshop is under ground, under the FC house. Logically if you sell that house, you would fill in the secret basement workshopto prevent anyone from making use of your super secret stuff, you'd then start over in a new location, building a new secret basement lab.

I'm not sure that this system is really as stupid as you thingit is.

Have you ever moved a business to become a new startup? I have. Let me tell you DO NOT destroy furniture, items, electronics, etc. that you have. Things are only lost if you do not plan, have incompetent people, etc.

There is NO reason for items that have been painstakingly worked for to be destroyed. Ever. It amounts to going " oh look at all your hard work, let me just set it on fire". Yeah, that's a brilliant move.

And I really do despise it when people try to compare a video game to real life.

[MsCroc]

You can't own more then one house per FC/Personal so if they lets say move to the new housing area their old housing location opens back up

Yes, you can. Unless I am not reading this post right and you are trying to make a suggestion.
Technically, one character can only have one house but...
People actively create alts for additional FC houses or personal houses.

I know friends that don't play the game yet pay for the sub. If SE do what the other player suggest, then those people that paid for the game will lost their houses.
