Revoke airship flight permissions if there are less than 5 people who have recently logged in the fc (1 week).. lol I kid. People would cry.

Rekt like for real it's funny as even now it's always me that preps all the mats for the company work shop solo then ask fc mates just to come for a few mins while i hand them all in lol

Most people will have a MAX of 3 alts that can buy a house I Myself have 2 so I'm unsure why people think players are buying 4 or 5 houses.

I can buy 13 houses. Just saying.

and apartment's in 3.4 and now you have flowerpots so they are getting it

Flowerpots aren't the same as gardens, they're something new. From the most recent Live Letter:

We'll also be releasing flowerpots that you can use to grow flowers. There will be new flowers that can only be grown this way as well. You'll be able to change their colors as well, but this isn't gardening so there won't be things like cross breeding by placing pots next to each other.

So maybe it'll grow single seeds, but that's it. Definitely no growing anything complex like Blood Peppers from scratch.

Actually you could buy 16, if you have the time and put in the effort (and have the gil and there are plots available!). 8 characters per account, 1 personal and 1 FC house each. But that's a lot of work, probably too much for everyone except the very dedicated.

Edit: 16 houses, not 18. Typo'd on my initial post...

so you have 13 toons at level 50 + I just have 2 for 6/8 specialist or am I missing something you can only buy 1 house per toon right ? and either make it fc or personal ?

To me it looks like you're saying I can buy 2 houses per 1 toon ?

You can be an FC Master that own's the FC house, and a personal house.

I'm sorry people will always buy and flip houses as it's money

Not if the pricing adjustment makes it unprofitable to flip. There might be the occasional FC plus house sale, but there's quite a bit of hassle on both sides for those.

Or, they could just allow actual house selling so that there would be a net discount to the person buying. Instead of having to pay the seller then full price for the lot, you could just buy the plot directly from the player (maybe even keep the furnishings as some can't be taken back). Yes, that would raise the price, but it would also allow for people to buy/sell nice homes as well. I know a lot of people that just like decorating houses. So why not allow them to buy a house, decorate it, then sell it off so they can go decorate another for someone else?

That's not a net discount, it's rubbing peters to pay Paul. On top of not fixing anything, it pushes housing further into the wrong direction.

The game cost of housing is already trivial. If housing is going to remain as limited as it is now, then the prices should reflect the economy.

As already mentioned, you can buy 2 houses per character. An FC house, and a personal. The FC house's only requirement is a rank 6 FC, no character level requirement. That's 8 houses per standard account. 5 of my characters are 50+. That's 5 personal houses. 13 houses.

The rest of my characters are in-progress.

And no, I don't intend to do such a thing. But I can.
