SE please stop the buying housing with alts on the new DC's

[LianaThorne]

When the system is implemented there will be a grace period for existing owners to sort out who owns what. If they're unwilling to give up their personal house they can excuse themselves from being an FC leader or demolish the FC house. It's a choice to be made on a case-by-case and personal level. There would be ample warnings (including in-game mails), a grace period based on people logging in and a choice dialog when the time comes - everyone would be able to choose which one to keep, which one to transfer, etc. There are many ways to do it, it's not difficult imo.

The reality is that a lot of people make small FCs just to get around the restrictions for FCs and Large plots, including extensive use of alts. It's not fair to everyone else and it's an easy sacrifice i'm willing to make so more people can have access to houses.
Anyone arguing against this is part of the problem and not letting newer players participate in the housing system.

Yes, the system is not very well designed, that's why we're arguing here FOR a better design, these restrictions make it more fair to everyone and let newer players participate in the housing gameplay. It's fine.

The issue isn't with private housing so I don't know why we're suggesting blocking people from having a private house if they're an FC lead. You cannot multi-own private houses the same you can FCs, it's literally 1 per person period.

Also, let's not pretend there aren't thousands of houses available across the entire game, Dynamis alone has several thousand on 3/4 servers and as far as I remember the situation is similar on the newer EU worlds. If new players really want housing they have the option to get a free transfer to any new server and they can go get one. We're about to get thousands more with the new worlds added in EU and NA.

Since you specifically pointed out people getting around restrictions for large plots, I'm assuming that is what this is ultimately fueled by: you want a mansion. The same reason that anyone brings up wanting to shake up housing to remove mansions from people, because they ultimately want to make it easier for themselves to get one. Just move to a new server when it opens and plan ahead if you want one that badly. I picked up two during the first month of Dynamis opening just by planning, I was the sole bid on both of them. It's that easy.

As I've said before, can either adapt and live with/conquer the situation or sit and wait for Square to do something about it. This topic has been discussed for years now so that should say which option is probably the better for your overall well being.
