Watching Gaming Kinda with Xenos about housing

[Soge01]

Its absolutely ridiculous and clownish the devs didn't think to limit players to one house per account, unless you have an FC 3 three or more people. :/

[Johners]

As long as Square Enix had a human reach out while providing some game time as compensation, retroactively applying a one personal and FC house rule to all existing cases of where this isn’t the case, they should just do it. It’s going to generate negative PR, yes, but so is a limited system that some players got grandfathered into having more of. Just pull the ripcord and do it already.

[VerdeLuck]

It definitely seems weird to have a limited system a majority of the player base is locked out of due to supply, but somehow a few people get to own entire wards to make personal RP towns for themselves. That's quite a bit of housing that's already in the game and could be used by other players without needing any hardware to be added.

I say make them lose the houses but 1. I will not say sorry if you were a player who owns an entire ward. Yoshi needs to grow a spine and time to clean some houses up at least free some up and also put more wards as private buyers 1-18 DO NOT need to be FC. 1-7 should just be FC there aren't that many FC's to fill that many wards

[Batbrat]

These should have been dealt with a long time ago, but here will still are! It's incredible, really.

In Gilgamesh, I went to see one of the plots up for bid only to realize as I spinned the camera around at the rest of the neighborhood that ALL THE OTHER HOUSES WERE THE EXACT SAME LOCKED PAISSA HOUSE. Then sure enough I go to look up the names and its...some kind of bank? Huh? They're RP houses with the same fc tag name? But they're all locked..why does someone have an entire ward of locked houses-how is anyone...like huh?!? Even if this were for rp, how does that even work if theyre all locked to the public anyway?? The owner is a basket case, I'm sorry. I hope they read this too. Buddy, institution. Now.

That said, they need to not only rip these spare houses from these freaks but furthermore TURN BACK ON DEMOLITION!!!!!!
That war is NOT ending any time soon and I hate to say it, I know its grim, but some of those people are not coming back and its time to accept it. We can't hold out for them forever. Turn it back on!!

[Kitsu]

Seems reasonable with a 100% return of plot value. Housing is too limited.

[Alaray]

But if availability wasnt this bad this wouldnt be an issue

But, since availability is this bad it is an issue. You sort of defeated your own argument.

[Drkdays]

SE: "it's our game, we'll take it in the direction we choose to."

Players: "so how about upholding your housing policies retroactively?"

SE: "and steal from people?!"

[Necrotica]

This is definitely a case if focusing on the wrong issue.

ADD INSTANCED HOUSING YOU IDIOTS. NO EXCUSES. DO IT.

[Jojoya]

Why should an FC be required to wait 30 days post-creation, or post-invitation to FC in order to stand a chance in purchasing a plot? I can certainly tell you this system was introduced precisely because of some of the methods people go about for buying multiple FC plots.

The 30 days has nothing to do with multiple plot owners. Someone who wants multiple houses isn't going to worry about waiting a month. It's not a long period of time.

The 30 days is to try to curb housing purchases made to resell for profit (mostly RMT but even gil resales to some extent). Until now, it was run in, grab fast, sell fast and get out before it could be detected. The hope was the waiting period would deter resale activity.

Already we're seeing that it doesn't appear to be having the desired effect as houses are still getting listed on the resale sites and discords. What we don't know is if SE is going to make use of that 30 day period to aggressively track FC that appear to be getting created solely for house resale and crack down on those participating.

This is definitely a case if focusing on the wrong issue.

ADD INSTANCED HOUSING YOU IDIOTS. NO EXCUSES. DO IT.

We already have instanced housing. It's called apartments.

Instead of screaming "DO IT!" we need to be screaming "IMPROVE IT!!"
