SUGGESTION FOR DEVS: Activity-based Credit System for Housing

[Ayan_Calvesse]

Apartments say hello. It's not as much of a headache as you think.

Most players aren't after a house because its "exclusive" or has perceived status. They're after a house because they want a house to decorate and/or use. The blowback might be vocal but it would still be coming from just a small group of players.

Also, Crystal Tools was the 1.0 engine that YoshiP tossed out when he took over. FFXIV is using a different game engine now.

Looking at it under the hood Crystal tools is still at its core (with good parts of Luminous plugged in) Interestingly enough and this is more to expand because I knew I could summon you like beetlejuice! I mean more that folks are going to want yards and sizes and such when I am referring to headaches. I disagree that many are not after a house for status - demand really is only driven by scarcity - you can see this by looking at places where there are vast swathes of housing - when there is enough housing like on OCE; you'll find a large amount of the playerbase don't care about it at all..

That's FOMO driving demand, not perceived status or prestige. "I may not be interested in this item right now but if I don't get it now, I may not be able to get it if I want it in the future."

Have an adequate supply so there is no fear of missing out and players will wait until they want it, reducing current demand.

Yards and sizes don't need to be a problem with instanced housing. Other MMORPGs have proven that.

If SE were to say "improving instanced housing is something we are going to do so every player can have the house of their dreams", would you object?
