[Suggestion] Solving the "Housing Problem"

[Makeda]

Just add an entry to the marketboard called 'housing plot' and you go there, pay the price, and get the plot.

Then limit housing plots to 2 per entire account - 1 personal, and 1 that is from a free company one of your characters is in. So if you have 3 characters in 3 different free companies... only 1 of them will have access to their FC's house... and you can only change which one once per month. 1 character (the same or a different one) could then get a house. If you happen to have 3 characters that all own 3 different FCs... then only one of those FCs would be able to have a FC house.

And then for apartments - spin up new ones everytime the current units are full in ALL shards of that city's housing. When full... the first shard adds another 'row' of units. When that fills, the second shard adds another row, etc...

I'm really not sure what this would fix. That's still house flipping. That still lets players set an insane price for plots. That still tempts players to get gil from RMT instead of facing many months of grinding to afford a plot sold by a player. The only difference is SE would be allowing it. Unless you mean the plots are sold at a fixed price. But even so players could still house flip like they are now. Even if you could only buy from the market board all you would have to do is coordinate with the seller while you are at the market board.
