I feel it's time for more housing wards again

Seriously stop for a second and really think about what you are asking and suggesting. You are asking SE to retroactively FORCIBLY TAKE BACK PLOTS THAT WERE PURCHASED 100% BY THE RULES, that were in place for 3 years, and give them away to others because you think it's unfair? That is the worst idea I've ever heard. Not to mention it's hypocritical of you to suggest it.

What if SE said "dear Kurotoga Iga, we regret to inform you that some players think that it's unfair that you have a personal large, and we will be replacing it with a small, because this other FC down the street wants it and derserves it more than you. Sorry." Would you be okay with that? Same thing.

Or.... "Dear player, we understand that you have soloed palace of the dead on your Summoner, however, some other players who aren't as lucky, felt that you don't deserve your title and prize for doing that, so we are taking it back to make it more fair. Sorry."

Also, "Dear player, we understand that you craft alot and have 500m Gil, some players who refuse to craft think that the is unfair, so we are taking back 480m of your Gil to distribute it evenly to other players, because this is unfair."

I spent over a hundred hours leveling up my alts and doing MSQ, and ranking up grand company to get extra houses. You think I should give them away? LOL. You can get lost.

lmao you are so right. That suggestion is so absurd but i can see how some people in this so called community would think that makes perfect sense.

Big flaw with your comparison - you're comparing subscription prices to a ingame feature. Subscription prices being lower for grandfathered in people does not effect anyone else on Netflix. People being grandfathered in with 20 houses impacts other people who are also paying for the game. So your comparison is really flawed

I pay a lower sub in this game cause i was grandfathered (1.0 veteran) in. His example make sense.

Except the servers with actual populations like balmung and mateus are suffering horribly under the current system

It sucks, I feel for you but if housing is a dealbreaker - let's face the facts you will have to move to a mid pop server to get a house.

Tbh the grandfathering in people was a huge mistake, those people should only be allowed to keep one house of their choice and the rest go back on the market. In real life if rules and laws are changed, you still have to abide by them. there's no grandfathering in - So SE really doesn't need to be nice to the people who are technically breaking rules under the new changes.

There is no reason that people should be able to keep 20+ houses and 8+ apartments on one server. There's no reason behind owning all this besides being selfish and greedy and this can be seen by the "just move servers" logic always posted.

To fix housing these things need to be done.
1. Remove the grandfathered houses
2. Change the buying system to a lottery, so everyone puts their money down and someone is picked at random. This would remove a lot of the unfairness already in place.
3. Transfers should abide by the same rules as new buyers. Too many houses are taken by a transfer after people were sitting there 8+ hours.
4. Ban the people making fc's just to flip houses ( theres sites advertising this shit and still no one is banned for it...)

It always ironic when people like yourself bring up these insane examples, how many of multiowners sit on 20 houses? A very very few I would imagine. It really isn't that big of a problem on a wider scale. Just cause it a problem on 1 server it hardly something happened on every server.

1. Nope, why should people get retroactively punished?
2. Won't work in the west. Japan is used to this but us westerns would never go for it.
3. Timer is only there for resell purposes. Just grab whatever and relocate yourself. There is literally 100+ houses on most servers. People like yourself just complain
4. As long SE don't collect SS as proof or 3rd party sites nothing will happen. On that note, is there even a TOS paragraph that states reselling of FC is not allowed?

My answer is, charge a monthly tax for every house you have over 1. The more houses you have the more you pay. Give a 6 month notice.

Nope. That's a terrible suggestion also why? You punishing your own customers for following rules and have done nothing wrong.
Not that multiplot owners wouldn't be able to pay a "tax" but the suggestion is simply stupid.
