Worst housing system I have ever seen

[Alyanna_Elingval]

When it's a limited resource, someone who only intermittently plays the game shouldn't have priority to own a house over someone who is actively playing and would make much more frequent use of it.

Absolutely they should be losing their house under the limited quantity system if they can't be bothered to log in for a few hours each month.

But that takes things back to why an improved instance housing system would be better. No one would have to lose their house when it's stops being a limited resource so someone who's not playing doesn't block someone who is playing from owning one.

Also, why did you bother buying a house when you were so strapped for gil you couldn't even afford to furnish it? That's dumb consumerism, spending what was a fortune to you on a luxury item you don't need and couldn't afford to maintain. You would have been better off learning how to earn and save gil.

If the system required you to pay a monthly fee to continue to own the house, would have you bothered buying it in the first place?

I wasn't unable to maintain the house, it was a choice to do something else. When I did the home is where the heart is quest, I said I'm getting a house and put everything on hold to accomplish that goal. My first jobs to level 50 were crafting and gathering. When I got my house I took a break from all that gil grinding and got back to the story. The only crafting and gathering I did was gear.

If I wanted to take a break from this much gathering and crafting everyday. COnstantly watching the MB, I was well within my rights.



After I unlocked HW I went back and finished decorating my house. But that's how the game goes, in ebbs and flows, whether it be your playtime, or what you're focusing on in game. People shouldn't be forced to have to continually keep making gil once they've purchased their house if they want to do other things with their time in-game. Or if life happens and they can't put a lot of hours into the game they should be penalized dealing with things so that they have no house when they do have more time to play. It's not giving players priority it's letting them keep what they earned when they were putting in the time. Just because someone new comes along that can play a lot, doesn't mean that veterans who put a lot of time in prior should be walked over because they may not be able to do so now. The whole just because I can play right now and you can't I should get priority is nonsense.

Also, I need no help in making and saving gil. I made a plan from the start to level crafters and gatherers first, and I've gone from that small house, to a medium to a large, as well as geared most classes in the game hardly investing any gil from day one.
