Potential Housing Abuse in Residential Districts using FCs

[NephthysVasudan]

FC homes cannot be "transferred" to personal ownership... nor the opposite.

If someone wants to go to the trouble of making an FC to get a home....then so be it....it takes a bit of effort and time.

Took mine roughly a week to get a house from formation. And a lot of farming. I'm sure others can report similar cases in less time.
But again - you can't just "flip a house" to personal ownership. You have to destroy it...before you can use the plot - which is subject to the RNG timer.
At least that's what I've read/understood.

Again from the way that SE had posted about relinquished land. those players will be able to purchase a lot. then when the time is right they can then go ahead and relinquish the Free Company House and then transfer their undesirable location to the desirable location.

EDIT:
In addition I have seen players offering to purchase Free Companies for Gil that are level 6 with/without housing being purchased

Again....the plot surrendered will not be up for grabs immediately...its subject to the RNG timer. You can relocate - but the plot you leave behind won't be available immediately. Otherwise the whole point of what they did would be completely useless.
And you're an utter fool to "buy" an FC for gil when you can get it to rank 6 with a little elbow grease and will-power.

What he's trying to say is... they're grabbing sweet spots with dummy FCs. Wait for the riddiculous slaughtering on 20th be done. Then sell those who were lucky enough to get a "not so nice house" their "much nicer plot" for relocation. Relocation bypasses the RNG timer.

Relocation means you have to have a house in the first place...otherwise your still going to be subject to the RNG timer.
People are going to move/relocate..this is a given.

Complaining about this is no different then complaining about people who already own homes.
You wan't to complain? complain about people who got grandfathered in with multiple homes....now you have valid concerns.

As for us single home owners with an FC house? ....yeah.....no.

[Serendair]

When was I complaining? I have my house since subdivision when I could stroll around be indecisive for days which plot to pick. I couldn't care less. You are so looking for an argument...
you know what...

I was referring to the OP...but you made your own assumption.

[Grimwarr]

This does not even touch on the argument that I posted to begin with. What you are sharing follows the assumption that Lots A through Z are created equally and that those lots are going to have an identical amount of players wanting them. This is not the case and these players understand these things. Now what is going to happen on the 20th is all these premium lots or going to be gone. The individuals are going to SURGE to the GOBLET which for some reason a very small percent of players want to actually place a residence. They are then going to have the free company RELINQUISH the land and then they are going to transfer IMMEDIATELY (aka without having to wait for RNG timers to go into effect) from the undesirable lot to the desirable lot that they have been holding for 1-2 weeks.

Or relocate.

Unless they make the rng timer affect both moving and purchasing, it's just one of the loopholes that will exist with the new system.

They have to redesign relocation cause as of now it a a different way of purchase, this is why we could relocate personals on 4.2 but not buy new.

The underlying issue, IMO would be the lack of any real need for gil other then crafting/glamor or housing.

This leads to a massive amount of resources being collected by the few and dedicated... or willing to cheat.

Now, Housing was always something only the players lucky enough to login to the server during the massive influx to pickup a spot... prime spots went to the quick. Small housing being the exception as there are more of those types of plots and the most restrictive of the 3 types.

So, instead of addressing the issue of entire wards belonging to a very small minority they offer more wards... instead of restricting 1 plot to service account they restrict to each character...this is just another preparation factor.

FYI: I have owned a home since sub-wards were released, ran with everyone else to upgrade to a medium and am ok with it. Also helped farm mats, craft resources for an FC that eventually purchased 1/3 of a ward.
This was a couple years ago when that was a monumental time investment and needed many active participants, and was very much the exception. Now I see multiple wards purchased by individuals.

This would not be a problem if it were for investment or resale, but they are stagnate.

Either way our community chooses to play, just listing my experience and opinion.
