New housing sector - will fc have priority?

[Nalien]

I've said it before and guess I'm saying it again. A singular person's gil is equal to that of an FC's gil for a house. So why on earth should one have priority over the other in a system where personal and FC houses can be purchased. Seriously think about what you are asking/saying. It's not like FC's are really that important.

Given we're stuck with a limited supply that doesn't even come remotely close to meeting demand, I think it makes far more sense for Free Companies to have priority, given that's a House for 1~375 players, versus a single player owning a House which is just for them, plus perhaps a couple of Tenants.

Plus you've got something like the Workshop and Airship/Submarine Voyages, and while you might not find them important, that's simply your opinion of the content.

This is a bit iffy.

Besides the issue of solo/shell FCs, a lot of the time, FC features like Airship/Submarine voyages benefit only the FC leader and their inner circle.

On the flip side, many times it's only the FC leader and a few officers grinding out the stuff for FC features like Airship/Submarine voyages.

I think, whatever new/future housing is to be implemented,it should be instanced.

If people want that persistent neighbourhood feel, they can purchase plots in the old wards.

Secondly,would really like it if we get access to personal airships/submarines for all types of housing including apartments.

Apartments should be upgradeble from small to large with balconies for gardening.

I've already explained later on the post, yeah it makes a difference. Having 3 garden to make things like shards or thavnarian onions helps more people in a fc than someone having them just to make profit. In a large house, you can put the leveling furniture (all 8 of them) for crafters, it has no use for one person alone.

My whole point is, a large house for one person should not be allowed, and they should put a restriction, like a minimum of active players in a fc (more than 4, which is the actual restriction) for larger house. And if you go under that minimum, you lose it.

If you believe that fc are not important, fine, that's your point of view, but every game have guilds/fc that gather some player together, and those people usually like to help each other, except if you are one greedy elitist. And having a large house can make a difference for a fc, and since there are so few of them, I'm saying it again, they should be for the fc only.

I would argue for 100 members for a small house, 300 for a medium, and 500 for a large. Even though it means my FC would lose the house. I would go further, make it so when implemented (without any prior warning), if your FC doesn't have enough members, the plot is removed with no refund of any furnishings in the house, or the cost of the plot. You're just booted out hard. And the member count applies to members online within the past 24 hours (so 99 members online in the past 24 hours, the house is gotten rid of). I would also separate personal housing from FC housing by building on apartments so they can do crossbreeding and have outdoor furnishings, and make the houses FC only.

What? Who is you?
You show your pride and brag about what you have done. Sure its cool.
But you simply cannot compare that to others contribution to the «server».
Btw you already shouted.

Indeed, handing out hundreds of millions to random sprouts cannot be compared to this person contribution since they've made no signification contribution to begin with. Gil becomes meaningless when you're capped and you're not getting to that point by complaining about others on a video game forum.

Btw, you failed at metaphors

If Squeenix really didn't care about people selling houses for inflated prices, then why the hell would Yoshida himself make a statement on it?
He mentioned it all the way back in E3 2016.
He's a video of him talking about it: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/72591248?t=06h53m45s
Skip to 06:53:45, where he talks about it, and his stance on selling houses for profit.


I think you are just deluded about it at this point.
And be careful, you might find some reports coming your way, especially since you have admitted to paying people 30x the housing price for them to relocate their housing plot, right here on the forums.

Sorry but Yoshida isn't Square Enix and there has never been any official statement made on the lodestone or ingame. Yoshida has said many things that never came to be, you should know that.

I already get hateful messages and players telling me how they report me everyday. Guess what, my service accounts are intact and I've never had to talk to any game moderator about any of this. As stated, GMs don't care about 1 on 1 transactions, unless someone gets scammed. Frauding another player is against the game rules, trading houses isn't and has never been.

Side note. It's funny how some of you are complaining about how players are running shell FCs, but it's perfectly fine for single players to own the majority of houses. If Square Enix didn't lower the housing prices by 5x, there would be housing for everyone

Well turns out they're ruining it for everyone instead. So the people that decide to leave their server to get a house on the new world...will now have to wait. So instead of the server slowly filling up, i bet by the time the housing opens there will be more players than houses and it's going to be a sh*tfest again. They seriously need to make instanced housing somewhere with sizes atleast equaling medium interior

I going to disagree. I think was the right move for new players to have also a chance to buy a house.

But there is always going to be new players. Where does it end? When those new players are ready there will be new players again that can't get a house.

So long as there's the moratorium on personal housing again then I'll be happy.

So we can have more people selling FC's with houses again? No thanks.

Considering that it is still pretty easy to find a house on the last two servers they added (Omega and Louisoix), I think it will take a while before all the houses get bought on the servers just added.
