In-depth analysis of the housing situation.

I like how this is basically copy-pasted from the site but without the digs at people who were criticizing y'all.



how about not using an ongoing crisis that is still affects a lot of people in real life to make a point?

regardless of what you're trying to point out, you're still robbing a potential 20+ free companies the chance to get a house, and don't try to 'whataboutism' me with 'what about all the unused plots people have?' because that's not what we're talking about here.

edit: as an aside don't act like singular entities or small groups claiming entire wards isn't an issue, because this is a problem on multiple servers (at least 4 that I'm aware of which ends up being a total of at least 100 houses that I personally know of), which just ends up compounding the issue.

This isn't a FAQ my lala. The FAQ did contain this answer as it's something that you know, I get asked a lot.

Why shouldn't I use Flint as an example? Real estate value has dropped significantly and the same happened in Eorzea, learn how to manage your emotions.

I love how you automatically ignore the major issue regarding unused houses. If those 20+ free companies, you claim I am robbing , end up leaving the game after purchasing it, obviously it makes the whole situation better.

People like you cannot be taken seriously when you throw any logical thoughts out the window in favor of emotional beliefs.

While not every FC will feel a strong need for a house, assuming ANY Free Company doesn't WANT a house is asinine.

By the same logic, every player out there totally wants a house. It's not like nobody has ever came in here to state that they don't care whatsoever about housing. It truly never happened in the 6 years this game's been out. Never. I swear.

i didn't ask if this was a faq, and your provided faq is useless to me and only serves to try and justify why you're doing this. check your holier-than-thou condescension at the door, please.

an ongoing crisis involving tainted water that affects the health and well-being of an entire city (thus causing the houses to drop in value and making them illegal to even sell) =/= artificial scarcity being taken over by singular groups. it's literally not even close to the same thing and the fact that you keep using that as reasoning is absolutely tasteless and offensive on your part, regardless of my emotions.

I love how you automatically ignore the major issue regarding unused houses.

unused houses are an issue, but that's a 'whataboutism' because guess what, those are still singular houses owned by an fc/a solo player and not a concentrated takeover of multiple plots, as you (and several others) engage in. some are buying plots and not using them because they intend to relocate. it's a waste to decorate if they're planning that. and if you're complaining about unused plots, please feel free to share all the evidence you have for using all the ones you're holding, because you claim to be utilizing them but i see zero evidence outside of your statements.

If those 20+ free companies, you claim I am robbing , end up leaving the game after purchasing it, obviously it makes the whole situation better.

if they leave the game, so what? the auto demolition will take care of that issue and those plots will reopen to people who will claim them. if they're camping the plot despite inactivity? well, better than one person doing the same with multiple plots. heck, the great thing about fcs: the other members, so if the owner/lead doesn't log in, someone else can take over the fc and plot! but hey, kudos to you for spending an inordinate amount of time and money holding onto that many plots i guess.

People like you cannot be taken seriously when you throw any logical thoughts out the window in favor of emotional beliefs.:

you can try and claim you're logical about this by spending time making charts and graphs (which only serve to add filler and faux logic to distract from your greed but go off) but there is no logic justifying one group or person taking over entire wards. i honestly hope the people you're trying to buy out in your ward never sell purely to spite you, because (and here's my emotions!) i sure as heck would.

anyway, thanks for providing an example of the tragedy of the commons for the playerbase i guess.
