House Payments

[Alleo]

My FC is currently owning a large house, and I would support this actually. No matter if playing alone or not, if the numbers are fair, active players won't have trouble paying.

What would be fair prices? If its something like <10.000 Gil a month its small for most yet why even need such a system at all then? If its too much you will just punish the player. Also since a FC has a way to get more money thanks to having more members, how about the rule that you have to multiply the monthly price per member. So if a single privat person has to pay 100k per month, a FC with like 10 members would have to pay 1 million Gil. Sounds bad? Yes it is but would be imo way fairer since FCs are using it way more, have more functions and more people using it. Anyway this whole rental thing would just be bad. This would only take away from those that just want some houses for their own, while not doing anything against those that misuse the system..

Making the prices rise to so absurd levels that no one buys them, which when given enough time, will likely make this kind of trade collapse.

You are only seeing this as way to stop sellers but completely forget what that would mean for the common people that truly just want to have a house..raising the price so much that they are too expensive to sell just means that probably 70% of the housing owners or more would just lose theirs..and all those that want one will probably not buy it either because they could not keep it anyway. I mean its one way to stop the housing problem...but it would be by destroying it for most players..Stopping sellers is quite easier if they simply introduce the rule of one FC and one private house per server/account. At least it would decrease the amount people can sell and they could even include a timer after you reclaimed a plot so that they cant just buy something again that fast. If this is also server wide or account wide you will take away their chance to buy them..I find this a better solution, since this would truly just punish those that want to just buy and sell houses and would not punish the rest of us.
