Plot migration and why the housing problem persists, SE please start listening.

A system that is fair for everyone.
Sadly, it seems we'll never get such a system.

No matter what at this point there always going to be a group of people that are unhappy with the way things are ran. While I finally now got my large house after years of trying and having a small house, I'm still unhappy with the way things are ran and how it unfair to other players.

I understand that pain of having to "deal" with what I could get. Even shelled out 30mil for that small house just so I had something. It wasn't what I wanted, but what I got, now got me what I wanted after failing hardcore in 4.1 to relocate. That not taking into account that since housing came out, I've endlessly tried at every patch that added housing to get what I wanted and learned to settle.

I can't feel sorry for those who won't take what they can get and then come crying on the forums about it. You all know the relocation system there. Get a small house (when personal buying does become available) and hope you can move up later to the size you want. That just how it goes. Any size is better then no house at all.

Reread the line, i said most fair, not fair.

When you have limited resource like housing, it is up to SE to make it most fair, I/E making the price high enough so there is no shortage, in a most fair system, people that put the most effort in earning gil (or group of people) are the ones that get a house.

Last part is correct, that is something FallenArisen0990, the person I was replying to, does not understand

If they went with instance housing in the beginning, yeah it would've solved a lot of issues but that didn't happen. If anything, they shouldn't have had the need to add Apartments if they allowed us to customized our Inn Room. You're right tho, making FC Housing and Personal Housing the same was one of the biggest mistakes they ever did. I completely agree on that front. The Housing Limitation should've definitely been there since the beginning but alas, they didn't go this route.

All you guys make valid points but that doesn't change the fact that I don't agree with how anyone with a House, is allowed to snatch the plot they wanted from before. If anything, I'll be honest and say that I found the no restrictions much better than it is now (Minus the buying of only one Personal and one FC). I respect all your points but this feels more like a punishment to people couldn't get a house because of XYZ.

Again, for whatever reason they can't give everyone a house, that means you need to limit who gets them. In the current situation, yes relocation gets priority, they are effectively spending more then intended to have a house then new buyers sooo....

If I may I can turn the tables on your own statement. You are punishing current housing owners already, like if you bought a large because that is all there is left, but want a better location and got it with this update, you are spending 70-95 M on a house total (depending on the move between plot grades) and plot grades are not even fair, they change depending if it is a sub ward or main ward even if it is the same plot, they move around what is considered prime. Relocation is already punishing current housing owners because of the increased cost, the only people that do not feel it much is those moving from smalls to something else, even then it is still an increased cost around 2-3M. Most punishing thing in this system is large> large movers.

Sorry but increased cost = priority, always
