Why isn't housing priced higher? (why is housing random luck)

[DevilsDontFly]

Some people are just too greedy. I really hope their internet die on the patch day or something.

That's very depressing, especially knowing that's going to happen on my server. But, I don't know... in order to get all those houses that person will have to log in and out constantly and make sure those minutes in between loading screens are enough for that.

On a side note SE should really lock 1 personal house and 1 FC house per account at least for the first week of 3.3. And then introduce an "alts can share the plot" system after, and giving all people that actually own more than 1 Personal House / 1 FC house a period of one to two weeks to leave the extra plots and select one to be "the main".

This is why housing should have been instanced.

Pretty sure this housing mafia is breaking so many ToS and Rules of the game that it boggles the mind as to why they aren't being banned left right and centre.

I'm seriously hoping Odin doesn't have this kind of problem, my FC leader is hoping to finally get us a FC house but I honestly have zero clue of the housing demand on Odin or if there's any bots or the richer players who own a 1-2 player FC literally preparing to rush all the new wards to get as much they can.

There is precedent for people faulting the rules an seemingly not getting banned for it. Said precedent is also likely the reason those that did buy from the mafia were able to afford it in the first place

Pretty sure buying houses for the sole purpose of throwing them out back to resell for a profit is against the tos. All people need to do is be proactive about it. Don't give in to abuse by these people. After the houses are implemented and you see a bunch of pfs up offering to sell plots, report them. That's what it's for. Take pics of their pfs for prof and time stamp the moment you see this happening.

By enabling this behavior, they will keep eating away at the plots if no one stands up. But by means is this no witch hunt. Don't spread gossip about so and so committing these acts. Let the gms do their job after you report and move on.

Coming from one of the quieter servers, where there's always been random plots available for purchase, I find this entire ordeal fascinating.

I agree. Prices are too low to support the demand and the amount supplied. This is why we have a shortage. Prices need to be made higher. Much higher.

What they really need to do is fix this whole mess and give us instanced houses and free company wards

Considering that the devs are apparently dealing with dinosaur tech for their servers, don't count on it happening anytime soon.

So it's ok to lock people out of access... only if it's not those with a lot of gil? Got it.
