Too many wards

[tipsyGnostalgic]

if diamonds were as common as sand no one would want them.

Except they practically are. The reason they're expensive and a sign of opulence is called artificial scarcity. Companies aggressively control the supply that flows into the market. Approximately 160 million carats are mined every year, but a large portion, if not the majority, are stockpiled in warehouses away from purchase to create the illusion of rareness. All it takes is a quick google search on google scholar to find many, many, many studies done on this.

Nice troll tho, 3/10. Really got a few people going.

"When everyone is special; no one is".

I feel like housing is a great way to add individual prestige to the game, but every time you add another plot you are diminishing the prestige or value of everyone else's plot.

Not everybody gets a house, not everybody should, if diamonds were as common as sand no one would want them.

I realise that 90% of players would feel left out of content; but it's no different than the 90% of players who couldn't take on unending coil; it's just a different endgame and a different prestige that people go for.

Please stop adding wards until the player base grows to ensure that never more than 10-20% of players and FCs can own a house.

There should be no prestige in owning a house, so anything which lessens any percieved prestige of it is a good thing.
Or in other words: I completely disagree.

Though I believe we would have less problems with housing if they adapted prices to the current gil inflation a bit more. 3 million for a plot is done with a few crafts or 1 rare item drop, during arr 1 million felt like 50 million nowadays.

The only thing you miss without a house are airships/submarines and a bit of gardening optimization, which you cant do with apartments.
And I cant take people serious who scream very loud about their housing problems if they are still on Balmung trying the impossible, while on other servers wards are empty as fck. If you really care so much about housing, there is a simple solution...

This game community has a big mindset of being entitled to every content and item there is, it is not bad in general that some prestige/exclusive objects exist. But somewhere needs to be a line, like for feast ratedtop10 rewards in the past, with some of those also were made available to everyone by grinding non-rated content. Even with the limited wards we have now, some wards are ghost towns already, I would be happier with other solutions than to add more individual wards every time.

Owning houses could be made more expensive, like a weekly tribute which rises every week to a certain limit like 10 million in several steps(instead of buying them directly/forever). Those tribute prices could be adjusted by the demand there is on the server. If you can afford it you can keep it, if not your house instance will be saved for later use, but the plot location will be open to others. Once you lost it, the weekly tribute will reset again and makes it easy to get it again. So many people gonna stop using housing with their alts and fake fc's because it will not be profitable anymore. There can be a persisting queue system if you are out once, to reapply for the next small/medium/large plots automatically then. I can live 1 week without housing if its guaranteed that my ward is healthy,alive and that I'm gonna save some gil by doing so. With such a dynamic system you can satisfy more people in the log run than with the current static one.

Atm there is no downside for owning a house, if you already have 8 characters with each 1 house and 1 fc house, you can keep them forever even if you are not playing the game at all for 45 days, that is still the joke.

Snowflake syndrome.
STR meld RDMs
meree RDM in XI
Sword using DRGs in XI
Most people shouldnt have houses

It all sounds the same to me.

Diamonds aren't rare. They are practically worthless, which is why when you try to sell one back to a jeweler you are lucky to get 50% of the initial cost back.

Guys, the OP is a troll. Acknowledging him only feeds his need for attention and encourages him to keep it up. The only way to end the stupidity is to ignore him until he gets bored and moves on.

Boo, a bunch of you already commented on the diamond thing.

But I'm posting this anyway (caution: language): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5kWu1ifBGU

Beach is greater than diamond, & you F824, Gtf0 a fight in the game isnt comparable to a none battle content, it should not be, you claiming something like that is highly wrong, i wont use several examples & reasons as to why but
