Housing Suggestions and Account Changes

[Jojoya]

5. Allow you to place your house on the market board to sell if you no longer want it and want to move to another server.

No. That encourages purchase and resale for profit.

6. Expanding on 5, allow services to be added to the market board as it’s more organized. You can have a decorator offer to decorate your house for a fee. There should be a rating system so people can leave feedback on their work. You will be able to view their feedback from others and view the work they’ve done. Maybe someone is great at gardening, and you want to hire a gardener. Same with those who are an expert in submarines in a workshop.

The marketboard isn't designed for advertising services. A separate system would be need.

It would probably be best accomplished through a new category in Party Finder, which would reach the entire data center and not just the local world.

And you're not going to find anyone willing to garden for another player so that player can profit while the gardener gets gil scraps.

Other account suggestions:

8. To prevent Gil sellers from the black market, SE should have their own in game micro transactions for gil they can offer to sell to players. Make the prices fair and not so overpriced like the shark cards in GTA. Make it like Lost Ark where it’s safe to purchase gil from the developers in game.

That won't stop RMT.

It also has the possibility to bring the same problems that WoW has thanks to the unrestricted use of the WoW token into this game. I don't think that's a mistake SE wants to repeat.

9. Allow you to change your name, date of birth and username for all SE accounts. Other businesses allow this, and you can even add a $10 charge for changing information.

Nope. Someone wants an account, they can make a new account. Let's not open the game to official selling of accounts on eBay (though it's already being done of course).

For someone who claims to want to stop RMT, you certainly seem determined to increase it.

SE can choose to add it to the market board or to a party finder. I say market board or something very similar to it because it's more organized in my opinion and it goes along with what is already there such as furniture items for sale. The market board also has house walls so why not add a new icon for houses/plots and list them in that category. It makes perfect sense to do it on the market board in that world like everything else is. I wouldn't offer it in a party finder across the worlds when the entire purpose is to cater to that specific world for those players in that world like things are now. I mentioned how SE would set the price for this so it would be 100% fair and safe. No one would get scammed out of the deal either. Keep in mind this would work best if instance housing was implemented because this method would be bypassing the lottery system. With instance housing you won't need the lottery system anymore. As for the gardener services that was just an example. Some people don't know how to do gardening and some don't even know anything about the submarines or airships. Some don't know how to decorate and will want to hire a professional designer. It will help everyone recognize who are designers and how many of them are out there. These things are happening now without the market board but I'm trying to add more ideas to this game that will bring more players in and entice them to want to play. FF has such great opportunity you can do so much with it to the point it would be one of the best games to where gamers would leave WOW or other MMOS because with these new features in place no one else would have it. My goal is to bring more player base to FF with new fresh ideas and to continue to fund the game as well. To keep everyone safe from fraud and to shut down and/or cripple as much of the black market as possible. Here is another good example the games called Farming Simulator and Ark Survival has gamers who created their own mods in game. They also create their own maps that weren't initially a part of the game. Then later on as developers saw how other gamers enjoyed those mods they decided to implement and include them officially into their game. These are things the gamers want to see so why not take something and make it a part of something great? Why not take something that is used for bad or people frown down upon and make it good and be used for a better purpose? That's my goal here.

It will definitely stop a huge part of RMT with gil if you can purchase it straight from the game developers in game like other games have been doing. It's also safe and prevents scammers from frauding others. This method helps resolve multiple issues. Just like I mentioned above how the lottery system helped resolve a lot of other issues. It helped definitely slow that or halt the black market for sure. So ya I'm all for stopping the black market by coming up with inventive ways to filter more of that out and still be able to allow something safe for all gamers to take part it. Microtransactions aren't bad and it's way safer in my opinion. Plus it all helps fund the game more instead of SE increasing our monthly subscription for so many things we ask them for that costs them more money. If you don't like it then you don't have to purchase any microtransactions.

First, stop bolding everything, there is no need to shout at us. We understand what you're saying, we just think you're wrong.

Second, RMT and black market will not stop. Look at WoW, RMT alive and well still despite the token. Don't like it don't buy it wouldn't help, either. It makes it so gil is P2W if you have the money to buy it straight from SE. Everyone is affected whether or not we participate in buying gil.

No, it does not.

Again, see WoW.

You're making guesses about how you think something might turn out without looking at the examples of those places where it's been tried and failed.

Playstation and Xbox allow you to change your gamertag for a fee and other gaming developers allow that freedom to easily make changes to your account. I'm all about keeping people safe that is my goal here. Accounts will still be sold regardless so why not help prevent scammers and shut them down and cripple their black market by changing things up in their world to inconvenience them? You seem so quick to say no to everything when in reality this will help solve several things. If I move from one country to another I want to be able to change my region on my own. If I get to become an older age and no longer want to play this game I want to be able to pass down my account to one of my children so they can play and have it as their own. What is so wrong about that? If someone's account keeps getting compromised and they had a one time passcode set yet SE support had it easily removed, then I'd want the ability to change my username and information to better shield myself and to put a stop to that compromise for good. These are safe guards we need in place. Again if you don't like change it's your choice not to partake in it. But don't ruin it for others who may want to have it as an option later on down the road for them.

Changing a gamertag isn't the same is changing personal identification information.

User License agreements point out that you do not own the game, that a license has been granted to you to use the game service. If you want your child to have the game service, in most cases you need to purchase them a separate license. There is no right to transfer ownership of it unless the child that the license was purchased for has become an adult and ownership of the account is being officially transferred to the now adult from the parent/guardian's name. You don't get to pass off a game to your children just because you no longer want to play.

Game companies are not going to allow transfer of license rights when that is going to cut into the income they receive from selling the license rights in the first place.

Go ahead and keep shouting to try to get people to agree with you. It's not going to change how companies choose to do business, and it's going to make more people ignore you than give your opinions any consideration.
