Hear me out: Paid housing

[Themarvin]

Because your so called solution doesn't fix the problem at all, which is the lack of houses. You can't fix a supply issue if you are not taking measures to increase or improve the quality of the supply. Your solution is literally "lets make this too expensive for some players". Making something out of reach doesn't automatically make players not want it. If that worked there wouldn't be lesser skilled players complaining that certain content is too hard for them to get the goodies they want.

If more houses is not a possibility SE could at least improve apartments so that players wouldn't feel like they're missing out on a lot by not having a house. We need improvements to the system itself, not new ways of frustrating players. I'm starting to think you actually want to create some sort of upper class group of house owners and everyone else be just "the rest". You just never stop talking about the supposed merits of adding more paywalls.

If you really want to fix RMT then REDUCE the incentive for RMT. Increasing the prices of already poorly designed acquisition achieves the exact opposite of this.

But they are not going to make it possible for everyone to get a house plot that is playing the game, that is a fact and reality.

Actively playing the game does not mean actively making enough gil to afford a monthly fee that is a actual fact and reality. Ppl who equate owning a house with drowning in gil are really out of touch with the player base at large.

Then maybe that should be a consideration when getting a house, that there is things you need to do extra to keep it, I am not in the believe of things like that should be given with now downside to it, it is too much of a reward, once gotten a plot.

Conveniently ignoring I mentioned that improving apartments would help the housing situation by lessening the gap in what both forms of housing offer.

People want houses not apartments though, though there is barely any difference from, however before adding and giving and more to that, something should be done about the one person FCs, and also grandfathered housing before keeping on adding new stuff, use the resources up that there already is.

Personally I would not mind to pay lots of coin to 3 or 4 room apartments as an addition to having a house though, or have the opportunity to upgrade my current apartment that I got on the side, or FC room for that matter... would be like having an extra get away.

Yea because apartments are not exactly great. Hence saying they need upgrades.
