Housing Suggestions/Fixes Timers/Supply

[Shougun]

Timer does seem to help with non-FC selling though, so it did do something. It's just also frustrating of course but that is born out of the limited supply more than anything. Any solution to the problem is going to be a "problem" since the real issue is supply.

They could improve the timer though by making it a lottery that even people who relocate have to take part in (put your gil down, lottery lasts a few hours and a winner is picked the rest get their gil back). Perhaps you can make a list of houses you want (location/plot#) and put your gil down (once, not for each) and it will put you in the lottery for all the locations (of course you can only keep one if you won many). If you won it would give you a big prompt in-game and mog mail for a few days to confirm and send the gil away or it'll go back into the lottery system if you don't respond (so you actually know you won one and not have it auto demolish lol).

Also there are so few houses just for giggles they could put a GM on housing duty that checks reddit for what houses are on sale and puts a notice in the system when they sell to see if anyone bought a house that way (traded the gil amount and made any mention in game enough to prove) and then remove it from them, just for the giggles :P.
