Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

The word Yoshida used was translated as "exorbitant," not profit.

Lol no one is happy to pay way more Gil than the land is even worth. They do it because they're desperate and have no other way to obtain a house. Resellers preying on the desperate are greedy, period. They aren't looking out for other people, they are only looking out for themselves. No one should have to pay twice for a plot of land, when they're supposed to be at a set price that SE created.

You make it sound like buying a kidney on the black market to save their dying child. It's buying a digital Barbie dream house.

It's "worth" what someone is willing to sell it for, and someone else is willing to pay for it.

That's not even remotely true, everyone I know that pays alot of gil for plots is more than happy to do it. Gil is infinite in this game, plots are not. I know some people that have close to a billion gil, what else would you use it for at that point?

What is it that you get out of owning a personal house aside from the personal garden and stable?
Why is it so important that you own a house that you have to log in at 4 am or w/e just to get one when the servers go up?

These are serious questions and just don't understand.

If apartments are available, it's just the garden.
And really, just the cross breeding function.

As apartments have a stable, and plant pots.

People like the status they think it gives them, and having their names displayed on a placard.

Putting ASIDE the amount of resources it would take up... The major downside would be it's locked to FC but! Just imagine..

You get instanced FC Wards. The FC purchases an instanced ward from wherever they'd like. So then anyone in the FC can buy a small/medium/large. FC house can also have whatever. So EVERYONE can have a house. And if you NEED more, it will add more (like apartments) but only when everything has been filled.

PROS
Everyone gets a house
People can get multiple spaces
You can buy at your own time
You still have that neighborhood feel with FC mates
No house flippers

CONS
Tied to an FC
Neighbors only FC mates
Pain to access to view from non FC members
A crap ton of resources from SE

So here are a lot of complaints I've seen and solutions:
Just not enough housing via
-People owning more than one- Houseflippers or just in general

• 1 house per account
  Instanced Housing
  Rent
  Increasing apartment space

Or ya know people just like to decorate. Or maybe RP .....
