Housing: there has to be a better way

[Zarabeth]

My FC has a small house now but I'm hoping to upgrade to a large if I can get into Shirogane fast enough. Opening housing to individuals instead of just fcs is a huge part of this problem. With the shortage of housing it would make more sense for the houses to be fc only and individuals can get an apartment.

It would be really nice if some sort of ban was imposed on reselling. Perhaps simply by putting a 45 day stop on leaving a house you just bought? Also a 45 - 90 day wait between buying houses would help also. It would at least stop one person from grabbing several houses then reselling them.

All the complaining aside, it's been made pretty clear that they have no intention of going to instanced housing. Which is too bad, as it would solve so many problems. Perhaps the servers can't handle it? I'm not a game dev so I have no idea how much work it would be to switch.
