[GM] Please take notice. Make statement on housing.

[Ranzan]

I hope SE will do something about how hard it is to get a house in super populated servers like gilgamesh. Banning or warning those people does absolutely nothing to resolve this problem. It just scares those players into not doing that thing anymore. there's more where they come from and just because players are no longer allowed to publicly sell, there will always be players willing to buy.

I did not get a house because there were people buying up houses on alts, but I also don't believe I would have gotten one if those people did NOT buy up houses on alts with the intention to resell/trade.

If it do scare people you going see alot of ghost wards. Well alot of people bought houses and the wards still look like ghost towns XD

According to this person's support response, the teams are definitely not on the same page.

When was the last time any wards were added? How long are we expected to "be patient" for new housing wards? Apartment? No thanks.

What we really need is a better system for purchasing housing. Instead of this cutthroat "first to see it gets it" system at whatever insane hour the demolition occurs, we should be able to queue or something, in my opinion. If I were actually lucky enough to see a plot for sale, which trust me I have watched them as much as possible since Christmas, I would buy it for myself for use as intended.

That reddit response still does not explain anything all it says is that all their GMs are not on the same page but doesn't say which side is the right side.

Did... you read it? The first screenshot in the reply from them,



"To clarify, resale of estates and land via Party Finder or any other means is a Prohibited Activity as it falls into the category of Inappropriate Behavior."

UA Section 3.2

[MistakeNot]

Inappropriate Behaviour


Behaviour that does not fall under the harassment category, but otherwise is intended to prevent or hinder game play for other players, is also considered inappropriate and thus prohibited. SQUARE ENIX encourages unique play styles by all players in FINAL FANTASY XIV. However, SQUARE ENIX may take action against players who hinder or diminishes the quality of game play for others through such inappropriate behaviour.


Monopolizing a limited game feature hinders and diminishes game play for others


Under the full tosh under the harassment cause there is sub text clause on griefing making mention of monopolization

Also acts need to be reported first, gm don't do anything if its not reported.

Owning a house and NOT selling it or abandoning it is monopolizing a limited game feature to an even greater extent......

They have a conflict apparently.

Support mods have also told someone that they can be banned for AFKing in the over world(aka outside of an instance). It's hard to really know who's on the right page about rules when it comes to support.

This is the difference, from my understanding, between an EU and a NA GM call. They are most definitely not on the same page. As of now there is still no official statement on what is against the TOS. This really needs to be addressed.

Yes as was earlier mentioned "That reddit response still does not explain anything all it says is that all their GMs are not on the same page"


Supposedly escalated to a supervising GM. It's in that reddit link I posted like 4 posts above yours.
