Housing Ownership Restrictions

[Kenky]

Thank you Captain Obvious.....



Consistently?

**Looks at post history**

If I was doing this consistently, where are these multitudes of threads started on the subject? Shouldn't there (oh, I don't know) be more than a thread per year from me on the subject?

Good to know this time you aren't keeping up the facade.

And yes, consistently. I never specified you needed to be the thread creator. Only that you post in those threads, which you do. I also never specified a time-frame, so you immediately assuming a year-long period is silly. But in any case, back to the topic.

Yes, SE can change any of their policies and decide to enforce said new policies, yet at the same time, I doubt SE is the type of company to take all the players who have been following the rules before and punish them, because SE decided on a whim that the rules need to change and thus, they are now breaking the new terms. Anything that happens in Ruleset 1 cannot be held accountable for actions done that comply with Ruleset 1. Not to mention There are no rules being broken at present. so you need to drop that real quick.

As for "increase the supply". It's been said time and time again that simply adding more supply A) won't fix the issue, it'll only delay it and B) act like delayed gasoline on a fire. It's not as simple as simply flicking a switch and all is daijobu. Economics 101 may teach you to make sure you have enough supply to meet demands, but it also teaches you about not having too much supply that the value tanks. Going back from when Housing first came out, there was no issues. Infact, there were plenty of wards that never got touched, or only had an owner for a few months. Then Stormblood came out, pulling an entire new wave of players that flooded the market.

SE couldn't (nor could any company) forsee a sudden surge and, with things they are and housing being an optional system with no real payout (Excluding FC-workshop stuff, but again, FCs own barely 20% of housing plots) it's going to be on the back-burner, since most people play FFXIV for the actual gameplay. The dungeons, raids, crafting, etc.

Be glad something is happening at all, when SE could well within their right just shrug and look the other way, since their main focus is the story. SE could use to update the system, but SE can't really be held accountable when player obsession is the bigger issue here.
