    Suggestion for 3.3 housing and alts

    Hello, My suggestion is simple, please disable the ability to buy a house for people who already own a house in their accounts, at least until a week after the patch launches so that they cannot buy on their alts, even if they have the money.

    My reason for this is because there are a lot of people who have been talking about wanting to buy a house on their alt for the sole purpose of re-selling it for an outrageous price.

    This is extremely unfair for those of us who intend to buy and use the new houses at 3.3

    Implementing a temporary ban on alts would also give people and FCs who do not yet own a house, a chance to do so without grief.

    On the upside if anyone does try it you can simply report them and let the GMs handle it. However I agree, I think they need to check the account and anyone who has at least 1 must wait to buy in the new areas so those without still have a chance, but with the number of people wanting a home I feel that many will still go without.

    One house per account/per server is how it should have been from the get go. Sadly, the devs give people too much credit sometimes.

    And why can't alts use housing if they are fully functional and meet the requirements? If they impose a restriction like this they need to enable the ability for alts to share the main accounts house. That shouldn't be too hard to accomplish and should have been the case from the start.

    Oh, I agree.. If the house is account bound, all characters on your account get access. It'd be like Sleipnir/Bennu mounts in a way. Unless GMs actually plan to sit and patiently watch people try to buy up multiple houses just to resell them, this is the only way that will prevent it.

    So they should limit the resellers to main characters and dummy FCs only? Your idea would change almost nothing.

    How about no personal house sales for a week, so FCs can get housing?

    I don't see the logic here.. Maybe you should re-iterate -why- you think FCs should get priority over individual housing.

    Otherwise, this is some crappy bait.

    FC housing has everything that an individual house has, and more. Locking a free company out of housing so you can get your own personal house is just as selfish as locking out another player from personal housing by getting a 2nd house.

    If the true goal is to end reselling, your idea doesn't put a dent in it.

    Why would -that- matter if the individual is actually planning to use their medium / large house? (for RP / gardening / decorate it as they please?) people that want buy houses for the sake personal use are no less valid than FCs that want them for similar reasons.

    Either way, you're derailing the topic. The topic / suggestion at hand is to prevent people who are simply looking to buy on their alt for the sole sake of re-selling for at least 300% the original price tag.
