    Probably an unpopular opinion but I think players should have to reach endgame to buy ward houses. I always thought the requirements were too low. Sorry if this offends, I do hope we get a way for all players to enjoy housing some day. FC housing is not a replacement either imo, not everyone can decorate the interior or garden. Most are just as quiet as private houses, even the large FCs mostly use it for a port after the novelty of getting the house wears off.

    Difficult to do seeing as every expac our endgame level changes. Lvl 50 baseline is fine, tbh. The problem is FC house bidding has no GC or level requirement (save for MSQ requirements for accessing Shiro and Empyreum) the way personal housing does, and SE needs to address that.

    So then what happens when a new expansion gets released? Everyone's house demos and it becomes a free for all among those who reach the new level cap first?

    Yes, this is the rational conclusion to come to. lol

    I assume it would work like other things that you need to reach max to unlock. For example, the new requirements for mentor increase every expansion. The progress you made during one expansion isn't going to be wiped and you wouldn't lose your house. If you wanted to buy another house though you would need to meet the new requirements.

    I agree that requirements are too low but perhaps max level would be a bit too time consuming. The requirements should such that a player can realistically meet them just by playing the game normally, but meeting the requirements on an alt would be annoying or costly enough to reduce the amount of alts bidding on both personals and fc houses.

    Full GC rank (Captain) for both types of bids, maybe? New districts should also be gated by the story whenever it can be justified by lore. Sharlayan housing is a popular request and access there is granted at level 80.

    Ya, it doesn't have to be level cap I guess but that is something everyone can easily reach as they play so I thought it would be the least complicated barrier to entry.
