Housing Transfers Should Be On Timers

[Havenchild]

Idk instanced wards seem lackluster when you consider how it segment's you away from the populace to do so. Probably how SE feels about it, hence why they add wards instead.

While I'm personally ok with either instances or new wards, my issue is solely on the hidden timer before you can purchase again. I think there is no solid reason for it. As it stands, anyone with macro/bot assistance can stand there all day to get a plot. Self same plot, can also be insta-transferred onto from a relocation.

If the timers must exist, why not just have a visible timer that's set for all and at least people know when to spam a placard. Anyone with day to day jobs would find the housing hunt pretty impossible.

Why are there no limitations to how many plots you can own? That could use a fix too

Still homeless here ~ since priority goes to people who have houses transferring over.

Crosses fingers for Shadowbringers. Give me the breadcrumb houses when Ishgard comes out. lol

As someone who has had the gil to buy a house for a while, and not been able to do so, the whole system is like pulling teeth - every step of the way.

Finding a spot is like pulling teeth
Stalking it is like pulling teeth
Aggressively defending it by spam clicking because of an invisible timer is like pulling teeth

The whole system makes no sense, and I'm at the point where I don't even want a house anymore because buying one is pointless, and un-enjoyable.

I spent all day yesterday aggressively looking for a plot of land, and couldn't get any, going as far to stalk one plot no one seemed interested in for 4 hours, only to have someone come over and move their house to it.

There are. If you see someone with more than one, they were grandfathered in. They can't buy anymore. You can only have one personal and one FC on your account.

One personal per world. The fc limitations were temporary, had a loophole when they were active and no longer apply.

I had a large house up until I quit, so I've enjoyed housing and the way it's set up. With that said, I do think that there should be heavier restrictions on housing. One house per account or server. Make people buy more accounts to own more than one house on the same server. It'll get the devs more money and open up more housing. Those who already have multiple houses should get a month or two warning before it's implemented and have some way to choose the house they want to keep.

That or - I know it's a pipe dream but- it would be nice if they could expand the servers enough so they could auto generate new wards when all the others fill up. I doubt I'll get another house since I'm not a full time player anymore but housing has always been an issue on this game.

Just spent the night running to every ward in the server looking for a house. No success with the timers. I always feel a bit bad when I run up to a group who has been camping to click one the house before moving to the next one. Like if I were to get it how many people were camping it for 10 plus hours. But that's just how it is with their housing market.

I imagine chances are better like when maintenance ends at 3am tonight.

I think the key is to not make it your focal point. Just play the game and occasionally do a house run through the districts and see if you get lucky. That and odd hours / right after maint.

Can you transfer an already owned house to another plot in any of the areas, or do you have to stick to your area? (lavender, mist, etc)

You can transfer to any plot in any area. I think the salt for housing is real though. My friend camped a place for 14 hours...only to have it swiped from right under him. As a rule i only transfer if i dont see any interest and i really want the plot. Im currently happy with my beach home in mist...

Good to know. In that case, I'll take whatever I can get and just transfer later if I don't like it.

It would be nice if you could drop a moon on it, just destroy it and replace housing with an instanced version, you remade the game after all! We need A Housing Reborn.
