Housing Ownership Restrictions

[Almagnus1]

auto-demolition already refunds 80% of what you paid for a plot. Unless you're saying that last 20% makes a difference, your system is not 'kinder'

I'm suggesting that they should get back the 100% on the houses they are releasing (and all the decorations returned to the house owner) instead of the 80% they would normally. It's also a situation where the minority has caused the problem, aka "this is why we can't have anything nice".

The problem is that 24,000 characters are trying to fill 5,040 houses (3,780 after FCs take their 25%.) 24,000-3,780= 20,220 homeless

I agree that's part of it, and also:

The problem is not:
-People or FCs who own more than 2 houses

That's an aggravating factor for the problem you described. Unfortunately, that's a point we disagree on.

The website that you linked also states this:
Temporary Changes to Purchasing Land

The restrictions show the intended ownership model that SE would like for the playerbase to follow, and one that would also fairly distribute houses to the playerbase.

Next, it's talking about purchasing land from the placard. There's a distinction between purchasing FC houses from the placard and inheriting/owning FC houses.

The same policy for purchasing should be applied to ownership, otherwise you create haves and have nots.

Let me highlight a key point from there:

[9:09 a.m.][GM]Gm Voxpainet >> That is also, most likely, the same answer a Supervisor will provide to you if you were to speak to them. Does that answer your query?

That reads like the GM asked the supervisor for a hot take, and the supervisor got it, so (more than likely) the supervisor didn't actually do much research so the take provided here may not be accurate of what SE actually thinks, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

[9:12: a.m.][GM]GM Voxpainet >> As long as you are not using those properties to harass or grief other players, in whatever way that would be possible, or engaging in fraud or RMT, then I believe you do not need to worry.

Since owning multiple houses is unfairly denying other players the ability to participate in the system going by the restrictions outlined at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ , it's griefing. This line is shows that the ward owners should worry.

It's also showing the cultural differences between what works in Japan (where there's a significantly higher housing turn over rate) and what doesn't in the North American and European markets. Changes should be made to account for the cultural differences that are also aggravating this problem.

There's also no discussion on the multiple housing ownership because Mew is part of the problem here, and they'd rather not provide ammo that will get them shot.
