Housing relocation needs a timer

[Celestialfai5]

Housing relocation ends up being another way that people can RMT and house sell. Please just put the same forced timer on it that new buyers have. New players and buyers are never going to get new houses at this rate

Bad title as relocation already has a timer...

[Celestialfai5]

No, it doesn’t. When new players want a house they have to fight the invisible timer and other people by repeatedly clicking the placard. Anyone who already has a house can instantly relocate to that plot. On worlds with no spots and one becoming available, this means that if the timer takes 20 hours, people could be waiting most of that when anyone who already has a house can just come in and relocate instantly. Yes their plot becomes available but then that restarts the invisible timer for the same issue. How is that fair on anyone who doesn’t already have a house?

I'm just saying your title is wrong/misleading as there is a 5 minutes timer between relocations. The previous housing system was fair as it rewarded players who saved enough gil. But since we can't have nice things nowadays, now we got this.

You do realize that when someone relocates they free up a plot somewhere else right? With the addition of a new housing area or the addition of new/additional wards there is the possibility they'll adjust the current relocation/purchasing rules. We'll have to wait and see.

LaylaTsarra you do realise that I did address that by saying when there’s literally only one open housing plot on the entire world and the new players are all trying to get it for 20+ hours that it’s unfair that someone comes in and just takes it by relocating which then resets the timer. The new players then have to wait on the new only open plot and hope that someone doesn’t relocate again

I’m sorry but 5 minutes is irrelevant seeing as the invisible timer on new people buying the plot is believed to be any time between 30 minutes to 24 hours. This isn’t confirmed of course because there is no official rules/guidelines on it. That same person could then take back their previous plot before the invisible timer gets anywhere near new buyers being able to even think about it

It is there regardless though...

[Numenor1379]

Relocation is less of a problem than players like Mew_FC here who owns 25+ houses alone.

They really need to bring back the rule of "One personal house, and one FC house per world, per service account."

And it’s still irrelevant because anyone who doesn’t own a house already can’t get one because people with houses can relocate far quicker than anyone could ever hope to buy.

Also if Numenor1379 is right and you have 25+ houses alone. You are part of why this is an issue
