Housing restrictions not fair for individuals.

[Tridus]

There is no solution to the housing problem. No matter what rules or system you set up, there will always be those that seek, with full intent, a way to circumvent that system and rules for unfair advantage and gain for the purpose of trolling simply cause they can. There will also be those who feel entitled that their particular special-case desires should preempt the desires of all others, and that the entire Universe should bend over backwards to satisfy their particular case and their case alone, regardless of the affect on others. The problem isn’t the system or rules; the problem is the behavior and mindset of the people playing the game.

As the saying goes, you can please some people some of the time, but you'll never please all the people all the time.

Have enough houses for every paying customer to get one. Problem solved.

SE: We want to make housing fair.
Also SE: No we arn't going to ban the FC members who who split up their faction and bought up every house in the ward and then proceeded to sell them because thats perfectly fair.

Completely agree with OP. As a new player I've been waiting months to get a home, new wards open up and I find a spot I like. I figure that if a FC grabs the small plot hey, it is what ti is... but a individual transfers and takes it from me before they open it? Wtf is up with crap.

Remember there are multiple wards and subdivisions. There is a chance that your dream plot is still available in one of them, so be sure to check before you write it off when personal purchases open up. Good luck with it!

I'm curious as to whether this has happened on other servers as well. I mean as bad as the Ragnarok crap.

And I think it would be a bad move for SE to just leave that as is. They're clearly knowingly abusing a system and it is causing grief for other players. SE hardly need to make an excuse to deal with them.

I can say I have not seen anything like this on Jenova. Majority of houses have been moved into by FCs, legit, individual FCs and it's been a vast improvement for our server.

On our main server a few FC's including ours did split up to buy additional plots, not the extreme as it was done on Rag. Makes you wonder though how does one define extreme in cases like this.

Doesn't change the fact it is inherently unfair to allow individuals to transfer before allowing first time home buyers the same equal chance.

Not really. The point was to give FC a shot at getting a house. Players relocating does not decrease the overall number of houses available since their prior house becomes vacant. Allowing new individuals to grab houses would decrease the total number of houses available to FC.
