Just Another Housing Complaint

[Silverbane]

Housing as it is now isn't an auction, it's a lottery drawing, where the price of entry is refunded if you lose.

This isn't the best way IMO: a sealed-bid auction with a minimum bid based on lot size would have been better.

The amount of gil such a house-sale system would have removed from the game would have been staggering; there are plenty of people who could bid 200 million or more on house without breaking a sweat. And removing gil from the game results in deflation, which lowers prices of everything, and that benefits us all.

And thus begins the new era of RMT where anyone who wants a large house and hasn't played marketboard simulator would need to just buy gil to compete. And many absolutely would, one fc member in my old fc admitted she bought gil to afford her SMALL plot. Why you admit that in discord to everyone idk.. Like cmon getting 3mill gil isn't that hard x.x

Anyway, your idea is another bandaid and it won't make players happy at all imo. You gna get people salty over all the people who currently own a house having paid a fraction of what new homeowners are paying. Others who refuse RMT angry that the large house they could barely afford and had SOME hope of having is now out of reach due to gil capped players and gil buyers. And more angry because some people cannot help but be dumb enough to talk about how they RMT for a house (like that old fc member) and that will rightfully tilt people too.

And at the end of it all there still won't be enough houses for people. So someone else will come along with another suggestion to make getting a house even harder and harder. All while the core issue, supply, never changes.

Why are so many players trying to work out shoddy bandaids for the devs instead of asking that their sub be the same value as every player who has a house? Even if Yoshi P turned around and said hey to give every player their own home it will take us 2 years to sort out the infrastructure, at least we have an idea of when the housing hell will end and can relax until it is resolved. I am still huffing hopium that island sanctuary will have some small aspect of player housing.
