Additional housing slots per character

[Dustytome]

I'm not into housing being paid for with cash at all. It would give the execs every reason to halt further housing opening up to subscribers. I'm all for getting rid of wards altogether and going instanced housing that's upgradable, because sticking personal or fc with wards is just leaving one side with a slim ability to upgrade/choose their desired location. Wards with this design are too limiting for an mmo.

Why would you want to reward SE with real money on a broken, ill thought out, fail housing system? Would sure be a pay2win for them.

Why draw the line at this and get upset and not at retainers costing extra money? You could almost argue that's pay to win, as having extra retainers means you can sell more items on the market board as well as having extra ventures. It's basically trading dollars in for perks.

Yes you certainly could and p2win should be illegal. I never get upset, I have a med house in the beds. Feel bad for people that have none though.

I think if they were to do this, and they insist on sticking to the awful ward system, it should be a combination.

You pay one time, something like $20 to unlock access to a house on another character (assuming one of your characters has a house already). Upon actually buying a house on that second character (since, you're still going to have to fight for it, you assume the risk), your sub fee goes up by $1 for as long as you keep that second personal house. This way, people that want an extra house can get it, while also funneling in more money to ideally help pay for more wards to open, or for ff14 to be able to fund a way to fix the system as a whole.

Before 4.2 I could buy a personal home for everyone of my 8 characters and now I should pay for additional houses? Do you think SE isn't making enough money?

I would suggest SE should provide enough wards or instanced housing, problem solved.

[JackHatchet]

If you think Square-Enix should provide enough houses for all of your alts then why can't I get 8 retainers on all of my characters for free?

[Rinuko]

I would most likely pay for it but consider SE claims its a limitation in the infrastructure i doubt we'll see it any time soon.

A valid question, that was already discussed in many other threads (my opinion: they should be free of charge). But I don't see the relevance for this topic.

I think that is a very bad idea.
Renting extra retainers is bad enough, no need to compound on that mistake.

As long as this game remains subscription-only there shouldn't be any actually useful things purchasable through the mogstation - only purely cosmetic items.
