"Exposing the FFXIV Housing Black Market." RMT House Sales

[DiaDeem]

This thread is weird... it seems people didn't even watch the video and very clearly don't even keep up with Live Letter news, and then we're talking about Ultimate and Savage for no reason? Let me try to set a few things straight:

- They've already implemented Relo restrictions as of 6.0 which pretty much killed half of the hidden housing market.
- They will be implementing Lotto system in 6.1 as Yoshi clearly explained in the latest live letter.
- Also in 6.1 will come a new feature that prevents newly recruited FC members to purchase land and be moved to FC Master, which will kill the other half of the hidden housing market.
- Also (because I know someone will ask) the Lotto system won't be implemented on every district. Some places will remain First come-First served (though with Relo and FC restrictions implemented)

And just as a thought: We call it Housing "Savage" as a joke. Comparing clearable hard combat content with housing in an level feels rather silly...

FC house sellers have already discovered that if you delete the character which is the FC Master, the next appropriate member in the FC gets automatically promoted to FC Master.

Unless SE does something about this loophole, FC houses sales are still gonna be a thing albeit more cumbersome.

Oh, I hope someone from SE is reading this. It's good that at least we know about this. I just hope SE keeps on top of things.

I think what they should do is if the owner deletes their character and if there is any that just joined the FC, that instead of it passing leader to (new member), it automatically demolishes the house. Also I think in regards of FC's there should be a higher member requirement based on size of the FC house. I don't mean inactive members, but members who have logged in at least once a month. Large requiring 12 active members, Mediums requiring 8 and Small 5 "active" members around the clock. That way owner/leader is made to treat the house as an actual FC and must recruit if numbers of members drop or risk losing the home. This owning FC as personal private housing should be gotten rid of. It should have never been allowed to happen in the first place. It's called FreeCompany for a reason.

So they took out relocation. Did they also implement that FC leader can't turn over possession of the FC to another who just joined the FC too? Because that's the way this guy operates. These are not private personal homes he is selling.
