Why?
Fairness.

Fairness????? whats fair about any of this in my cause ive had my 3 rp houses for a year i paid $18 to transfer for housing again i paid real money to go to a server with a ton of empty plots...everyone who was on the server who wanted a house had a house or a chance to get a house, Before Se opened the free transfer program due to them over stocking Balmug and having to lock it.As ive istated i and 2 other fc mates counted my server the night before and there was 218 empty plots.

So now in fairness you wanna take away what i paid extra money to $18 cause housing was my #1 prioty to give everyone who got a free transfer a chance at a house...cause lets face it new subscriptions aren't the ones looking for houses in most causes it mid-high pop servers and people who took free transfer to low pop servers who wern't fast enough to get one. those on low pop servers had no issuses and plenty of houses open till free transfers

Why do you need three houses?

That hardly sounds fair as my FC already have a house (in Mist Ward 1) ever since housing was implemented. And now we need to lose it and leave it to sheer luck to get it back?

This is my whole point about taking away from multi house owners isn't fair either. I've had 3 houses for a year on a server that didn't have housing problems till SE did free transfer.

All this stems from SE's greed and no one really sees it or says any thing. If you stop char creatition on a server you don't allow people to still pay to transfer there. they allowed people to transfer into Balmug to the point they had to lock it all togther and come up with a way to get them off there now. So free transfer came into effect. causing house problems on servers that never had them before.. Yes high n med pop servers had problems, but most lower pop servers like my server did not have a housing issue other then not enough larges..heck the night before free transfers there was still med plots for 8.5mil

I do agree about the whole SE's greed thing but, just for the record, the incentives to transfer people off of Balmung didn't get most of the players to leave. It was a mix of friends who started playing during Stormblood and the 3+hour login queues for the first two weeks of Stormblood which did the real damage. Once SE implemented the daily forced logoff of EVERYONE IN THE GAME the massive wave of transfers came to a halt.

Other games i am sure have less revenue and less servers (Elder Scrolls Online as example) and have nowhere near the issues with housing that we have.

They could cut some of there promotion budget to. painting aa side of a bulding for Sb release was silly for it last what 2 days.traveling every in the world is nice but put some money back into the game.. we were promised maijor upgrades with ps3 limitations gone, yet we cant have 45 + clickable items in our houses with out items not rendering till your almost 5 feet from them
