Questions regarding house moving feature

[Naunet]

Yes there is, because you didn't put any work in to get the most desired housing. You don't get to compete with people who did just because you already own a house.

What is desired for one person may not be for others. Stop being so angry.

I think the biggest issue with moving with no additional costs is it isn't a level field for everyone at that point, and Yoshi obviously wants everyone to have the same opportunity to gaining plots. But if one person who already owns a home can move into a new plot in a desired district (see: Shirogane), while leaving a plot behind in an undesired district (eg. Lavender Beds, Goblet, Mist), it means that person has an advantage long before even the introduction of Shirogane plots. They were always going to have that advantage, as long as they kept their home behind the 45 day timer.

The main point of my post is, Shirogane plots will be definitely in demand, more in demand than current housing plots, but not everyone has the same opportunity were we using a system where moving didn't cost.

What doesn't make sense?

I think your forgetting housing isn't about saving you or anyone money, its about spending your money and being thankful you even have a house at all :P

Also, its possible this move feature is only for Free companies

The moving feature will transfer the personal chambers, company chest, company workshop, and airship voyage status, as well as the chocobo stables.

Since they say this straight after that quote i post above: (from the Q & A)

Q: Is the timing for purchasing plots in Shirogane the same for free companies and individuals?
A: We are currently in the middle of investigating how much of the population owns housing, so this hasn't been decided yet. We will look into this a bit more before making a decision.

Here's hoping it sticks to free companies only.

Sorry but why should all those single person FCS be able to use a moving feature but not a single person with a personal house? I have one of those living opposite me its not decorated and Ive never seen it used, they don't even have an aetheryte! But if they want to move and not use there house in a desired area that's ok by you?
I use my house everyday all the time so if I want to go and enjoy the view in the new area instead why shouldn't I be able to move without any risk too?

Lol. What a great design paradigm.

A real question I have.

Will we be able to CONVERT a Private home to FC (Or vice versa) without 1st demolishing the other?

They never mentioned it. Sticking to ockham's razor, I'd guess they don't intend to change it.

While Shirogane and/or Moving being FC-only could certainly be exploited by single person FCs, proper FCs would still be more likely to get their houses than if the new ward was immediately opened to everyone.

I don't understand tho, why should an FC have priority over any one player? They already have airships, ect. Why shouldn't the moving feature be equal access for all?
