Easiest solution to the gil-farm/FC-house hoarding situation

[tsuchii]

(word bolded by me)

oh oh, i would love this to be an option again (those who know, know)
never did i ever make as fat stacks of company credits as when gathering was real good option to make some
...
but reading inbetween the lines, op seems to want to dry the streams of fc credits because of some reason which is as nebulous and it is stupid.
rtm people have more lucrative ways to make their gil.
i think maintaining one's submarine fleet in theme park mmo is as legit source of enjoyment as any other. raiding, glamouring, clubbing.
who is anyone to tell anyone different what to enjoy?
op is living proof that any random player can own two fc houses if they really want to.
it is not as horribly hard as some housing doomers broadcast.



you know people still use gardening plots to make gil, onions and stuff? can be done with private plot as well. so, going above some arbitrary limit when it comes to revenue makes fc+house a shell?

so it's okay for you for individuals to own entire wards... excessively taking what scare resources that could be for everyone else. got it.

i'm not sure how much gardering makes but i'm pretty sure it wont be nearly as comparable to what submarines make

Is this just another: "But...I want muh mansion!!!!!!" thread disguised as submarines?

Yes it is, its always a post like that...

exactly. no joke these forums have made me almost just ward owner ally, for how much crap is flung at them all the time. i am also mystified by people who have so much energy to care and complain and rave when no one, nothing, is keeping them from trying to achieve something similar.
house owning ultimate kinda, if you will.
i am bothered by ward owners about as much as i am bothered by people flaunting their glowsticks at limsa. not very much in other words.
you think these ward owners just woke up with couple of gilcaps of playmoney? you think they didn't have to take chance when it was the time to take the dumb chance?

aspiring for house ownership in this game effin sucks is you think it's waking up one day and walking peacefully to buy your favourite mansion. it is saving and planning for what you want with plan b, c, and d. it was so when we had the timer, and it hasn't changed much.

if anything i wish...
1) they'd (the ward owners i mean) lock their houses, so no one can go snooping around, then come to forums cry: "the interior was not decorated, waste, waste i say!".
2) put some cheap flowerpot outside, so no one can come to forums to complain: "the exterior wasn't even decorated! they don't deserve!".
3) give their fc's different <tags> honestly to mislead stalkers, so no one bothers come to forums moan: "look at all these <fc>s! QQ they /dries tears... they bought my friend mewodasu's plot from in front of their nose 4 years before they joined the game!"

personally, i wasn't always in this comfortable position as im now with my presence on servers i want to be present, with my houses and my fcs. i don't own whole wards because 1) honestly i can't 2) i don't want. but i have unfulfilled housing dreams towards which i work all the time. it is not unpleasant grind for me.
if i was dying, losing sleep and going psychotic flavour, to have house i would do the stupidest thing: move to OCE or whatever is seen as the ghost server with houses and get the damn plot.

submarines bad, because they are too effective passive money makers. not even the most effective money maker in the game, just one, comfy effective money maker. why? looks like the anger rousing detail is the potential.

ok so, imagine they nerf submarine profits to shadow realm. they're gone, they're no more. will op/people who agree with him be happy?
or will they do like people angry and jealous of other peoples' houses, come together and shout and kick and scream around the forum until devs come and change the house acquisition again, and nerf any other similarly potential passive money maker?
you think the people who enjoy money making, seeing the number go up as many have admit, don't have other ideas for money making?

Let's punish legit FCs for the handful of ones that multi-FC-house to gil farm. Great idea.

Noone should be allowed to own wards of housing when there is scarcity for it.

I told you my FC is not shell and I use both my personal houses (maybe not the Materia one, which I will give up if I have to, but it's again, a personal, not a shell FC made to generate gil).

For some inexplicable reason you look down on those who pick up the unwanted trash off the street, aka houses on dead servers. And yet, the house that you would choose to let other players have is... the one on a dead server where almost no one wants to play anyway and mansion plots have been empty for years (yes that's plural, not a typo). That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

When will people understand that multiowners are operating on different servers than the fcs struggling to find houses? Freeing up houses on a congestion dump server isn't going to help the housing situation on servers like Balmung.

I'm no fan of single players buying up whole wards, but... unironically I would dislike them much less if they made any attempt at livening up the place. They make it SO OBVIOUS that they're all shell FCs with the plain yards and houses and the similar FC tags. Where's the creativity? Where's the FUN? Someone went through this effort to buy up a whole neighborhood but can't be bothered to have a little fun with it?

I discovered a Shirogane FC shell ward once where the owner had commissioned all these interior decorators (and credited them!) to come in and make the ward into a whole resort town. Hotel rooms, stores, restaurants, a bank, a casino, a dojo... It was all really well done and at that point I can't even be mad if the person who owns all these houses is making bank with submarines because the area was so cool to explore and the theming was on point. I go back and gpose there sometimes. It's like the rich land owner actually bothered to reinvest back in the community to make it a nice place! XD

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ this honestly sounds like worth checking out! do you remember the server all of that was in on?
