Ishgard Housing Transfer System Unfair

[Gunspec]

Has there been a discussion as to whether or not the FC has to BUY the new property?

The reason they are adding this feature is so that an FC can move without demolishing the private rooms, workshop, and rare irretrievable furniture that the members have worked so hard on. The current system locks an FC in one location and prevents them from moving or growing without causing millions of gil in losses for individual members. They really need to implement a change to allow moving an entire house without demolishing it.

Now, if the FC is still required to buy the property they are transferring to, then it does NOTHING to harm the acquisition of property for other players. You have the same chance to buy a home as anyone with a pre-existing home, and if the existing FCs move to Ishgard, then you can bid on their old abandoned plots. The FC is able to move without unnecessary demolishing, and you can finally obtain a lot of your own. Win-Win.

I Think what really screwed housing was allowing alts to buy housing and not removing inactive accounts that have been inactive for a year or more because of this Yoshi is forced to open even more housing up and more wards. It is a hard choice to remove players from their houses because it is not fair, but it was a mistake that had such a terrible outcome for over populated servers. I wish they just never allowed personal housing in the first place. Housing is just so empty these days since everyone around your FC is a personal housing.

Gonna say, if I manage to scrounge up the money for a house on my Alt, I'd sortof want some people to transfer from the Lavender Beds to the Ishgard Housing. So I can buy a Gridanian house.

I just want The Mist to open up. My character is entirely too pale already, he needs some sun, sand, and beach.

Make it more fair!








But only more fair for me!

It does rather seem that the $$ paid in subscription by those who were fortunate enough to get a personal house already are worth so very much more than the $$ ofeveryone else, so much so that this tiny minority of players deserves special treatment. Or to put it another way, favoritism sucks and you are totally pissing evetyone else off, SE. Fix the damned housing shortage first, before doing anything else for current owners of in-game homes.

Um. It kinda seems like you missed the part where they'd be adding more housing...

Maybe you kinda missed thepart where Yoshi's affordable housing for all became a perk limited to 1% of the player base. Even if you adda newhousing location and double the number of wards it will still be horribly limited and smug peoplewill c0ntinue to be smug.

So...adding an entire new housing area with all new wards...ISN'T fixing the housing shortage?

Basic math should show you how limited this 'solution' is.

I'm not really sure what people are mad at, here. You want a house? Well, creating a new area will open up a lot of new plots! You're dead-set on a plot in an existing area? Well, allowing people to easily transfer to the new area will open up plots in the old areas! Either way, you're getting the chance at a plot, because whether I choose to stay in the Goblet or move to Ishgard, there will still be more plots available than there are existing home owners.

And as a home-owner, my sub is worth at least as much as yours, so saying that your concerns need to be addressed before mine is petty and incorrect.

As a homeowner, part of your sub goes toward funding the development of housing features such as furniture and airships.

Funnily enough, non-homeowners pay the exact same sub while subsidizing a feature they are unable to use.
