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

[Vstarstruck]

Orignally housing was FC only when release, and it was much more expensive.

It also varied on price based on the server economy.

They had said that personal housing would be different and cheaper than FC housing, but they just went with the quick and easy implementation of just allowing individuals to purchase ward housing.

and it should STILL be that way.

This isn't about what house I want.

does not flow with:

To those who don't see the issue with relocating, are not seeing it from the prospective of someone who doesn't own a house. I'll use myself as an example:

I want to buy a Medium House. 4.2 rolls out and only allows for FC purchases and relocating for owners of a house. New/Old FCs come in and buy or relocate to a big house. Keep in mind that Large and Medium Houses are very limited compare to Small Houses.

So there is lots of smalls open I assume right now for people to buy as personal still left. I still think there is going to be a shortage because they are too cheap in comparison of supply. regardless this sounds too much of entitlement. When something is limited, everyone is not entitled to said object (I disagree with having hosing so limited, they should done better to allow people have some kind of house) but we need to keep in reason with this discussion with what we have now.

Someone that I know that loaned some gil to someone, on that server goblet meds where open for a long while. Though the person that got the loan would preferred a different plot, they where happy to at least to have some medium. I think you should read HyoMinPark's story again.

It is. Here’s some math I did in another thread for anyone interested in just how little you actually “save” when relocating:



Like I said, the only way to save significantly would be to either massively downgrade your plot, or be lucky enough to secure a larger/higher grade plot when it has managed to fully devalue. And, let’s face it, what’s the likelihood of the latter situation actually happening?

You never save gil relocating. If you do move large to small it is effectively paying 50 mil for the small.

relocating is always more of a cost then buying new.

Say SE continues this model in future patches. Is it fair to those that waited this long, to be sat in a corner and watch current Home Owners come in and snatch up possible new plots in the next expansion all because "it's fair" to those who have to pay more?

Yes it is fair with what they have to do with their limited resource, you are not entitled to something of limited resource. You are effectively complaining about having a less of a chance of a plot you want vs having a house because house relocation doesn't magically decrease the number of plots to someone buying new.
