Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XLII! (Exploring Patch 4.2)

[Nyashuki]

In regards to housing furniture, Are you guys considering on looking at the on-estate crafting facility such as Clothcraft loom and etc? For example, expand them to level 60 as we are already in Stormblood expansion or add a level 60 equivalent of the furnishing. Those furnishing are mostly used for leveling or crafting old crafting items such as level 60 and below.

1) When will the ban on individual house purchases be lifted?
2) When the temporary ban on individual house purchases is lifted, will you be adding more wards as well or will we be getting whatever is leftover from wards 13-18?
3) It's extremely unfair for people who own a home to relocate and get first dibs on specific housing plots while the rest of us have to wait behind an RNG timer for the plot to become available. Are there any plans in the future to restrict relocation purchases so that they must wait for the RNG timer as well? That way EVERYONE has a true fair shot at specific plots such as larges and mediums.
4) People are still flipping houses and selling them for a huge profit! Because "relocating" is a separate process from outright purchasing a plot, players who relocate their home are able to by pass the RNG timer, and thus certain players are abusing this loophole to continue flipping plots for a hefty sum. What are your plans to address this and permanently end house flipping?

5) For WHM, confessions were decreased in duration from 30 seconds down to only 10 seconds. Ten seconds is not enough time to build your way up to 3 stacks of confessions, and in all honesty it feels rather pointless now because the confession stacks are so short in duration. Is there any way to extend confession stacks back to 30 seconds so they can be useful again?

All aside ignoring from the poster above, can we please get more wards or instance housing ?

It become really hard to tag old pvp content and farm them, and now it will become even harder with the new pvp content on 4.2.

Example : "Seal Rock (Seize)", I wish I could get the Field Commander set but I barely managed to tag once or twice per day when i'm focused on that (plus I need to win...)
I'm also trying to get "Keeper Of Knowledge" title but... Well same problem as Field Commander set...

My question is : Can you open pvp requirement players so we can go on old content pvp content with something like : 4 versus 4 versus 4 on Seal Rock
Or making stuff (and maybe title) available somewhere else please ?

(My apologies for my bad english)

One of the reasons people can benefit from housing is gardening, and the crossbreeding of seeds to produce rarer, more valuable seeds. This simply cannot be done within an apartment, or on the inside of a home.

Will you consider adding a 2-plot interior gardening item to allow players to use gardening for making rare items / gil within an apartment, FC room, or inside a house in general?

I know crafters aren't that many so you might never see this question... But I have to ask :

On A Realm Reborn, crafting was hard enough, it wasn't boring at all, and it was more "challenging" since we had to relay on a few skills.

In Heavensward crafting wasn't even hard, it requires some time investment but with more skills it wasn't hard.

Now in Stormblood we already have 3* craft that are supposed to have some difficulty... But I can easily use a macro for it and it's even faster.

To be honest... Crafting is less and less fun since Heavensward, when we were still in ARR there was some challenges (like earning the Lucis, in Heavensward we only got a swap color tool from achivement)...

My question is : Is it me or "high-level" crafter are more and more abandoned ? I know crafting must be accessible to everyone... But doing the same rotation over and over and over for 8 months... It's boring... (And to be honest... Having so simple rotation must be helping people using bot) Don't make them more difficult... But at least please add RNG ^^'

Also please buff the specialist skill ... From the day specialist come out, and until now It was never a "must use" and they aren't that powerfull, which make them completely useless...

Also, I know that you can do temporary expressions while emoting, but could you enable us to either change our idle expressions, or toggle how long the expressions remain active before returning to idle?

With the ''Be My Valentione'' contest we going be able to marry npcs on future? Put them on our houses and do things with them too? How about our squads? Can we have a squad hang out on GS, so we going to be able to see others payers squads and do things with them. So everyone will be able to see your squad. Why the warrior of ligh is mute? Can we receive some random voices on our char for we finally speak on the cutscenes? Where is the 2x2 pvp rank arena on coliseum in Ul'dah? Real hard to found a team of four peoples. We going to be able to climb steps on Eorzea?
