Elitist Housing Must Go. Every Single Player Should Have A House.

[DarvinaOu]

After hearing from my friends housing woes in addition to my own I thought come here in the microscopic hope a dev will see this.
It would require a massive overhaul of the ward and plot and system. However given a enough time players can prepare.

Having both instance homes and wards would appease different player bases. My thoughts are as follows:

All players receive upon completing ARR an upgradeable private instanced plot (IP) in Mist, Lavender Beds or Goblet (allow for choice).
Players must procure upgrade materials and pay (gil) a labour's fee.
IP's residential district can changed for a fee (gil, token, tombstones, GC seals, etc)
Upon completing Heavensward and Stormblood players will an opportunity to move their IP to Emperyeum or Shirogane for free.
All public ward plots are upgradeable and pricing will reflect plots location only (This would be a huge overhaul for the Dev Team)
Should a player bid and win a public ward private plot (PWPP) they forfeit their IP.
Increase public ward plot prices and make all public ward plots upgradeable by upgrade materials and labour's fee.
FC houses must have a "Deed" or "Revised Deed". FC owners must gain 5 signatures on the "Deed" to place a bid on a plot
FC houses can be upgraded by upgrade materials, labour's fee and "Revised Deed", where additional signatures are needed (2 for a medium and 3 for a large; total 13 signatures)
Upgrade materials will be different depending on plot locations: IP or PWPP or FC.
Pricing will be reflected on the material. (Instance being inexpensive, PWPP being middling and FC plot being expensive)
Players will be able to Teleport to players on their Friendslist and/or Party regardless being instance or public ward plots

I probably missed something. Before anyone starts bombarding me with heat and questions I'm going to explain a few things mainly the option to upgrade the houses' size. This allow everyone to start on equal footing and gives everyone a chance to upgrade to their desired home. The FC Deeds: so I came up with the idea in the hopes of discouraging bot-plot-squatters (which I know realistically is unlikely). The forfeit of IP upon winning PWPP: just no to having 2 private homes

I love it, you have def put a ton of thought into this.

I would love to see something like this, but it may be to complicated for them to pull off.

Anything is better than having the majority of players pissed off on results day while a handful of players are happy and having fun because they are actually able to use a major system/content portion of the game that we are still locked out of...

I think the hardest thing would be reconstructing the residential districts to potentially have mansions in every plot. Deeds idea I got from forming a FC. The IP and upgrading the house I got from Island Sanctuary. Tools are already in place SE just needs to use them.

Not bad at all

They'd have to alter the geometry of the land a little to expand it, but this would be preferable too. I just think that under the current ward system, its always bound to be in demand and scarce. As in, the second you do something like this, those previously undesirable small plots will sell out, and everyone will be fighting over everything because nothing will be available. It's kind of hard to judge when it doesn't function like the above, though.

In any case, I think they've previously complained about the decoration limit in each ward being a limiting factor, which is why I usually say "Just let people pick the interior size." Even then, I don't totally buy the decoration complaint though, because like I've said before, apartments are unrestricted, and each character can own two. If the developers can't limit this, they must not have considered it a problem in the first place. Granted, the deco count per ward probably exceeds 400.

I'd love for them to do this. I know it's annoying to reconstruct each zone but it would be bananas good. You should also be able to upgrade apartment interior to large because magic. We have flying bears and I can hold several houses in my inventory, lemme expand my apartment floor space. ;o;

Upgradable apartments ftw! Love it
