Square should get its own house in order

[TaleraRistain]

"B-but it's not their fault, they did nothing wrong and it wasn't against the rules!" rules change to fit the needs of the present, and when a single FC abuses the system, new rules has to be made.

New rules have been made. If you are in an FC with a house on any character, then you can't get an FC house on that account on any other character. It doesn't matter if it's your FC house or not. SE sees it as "your" FC house because you could inherit it due to inactivity in the FC. So if people have the situation where they have an account with alts that were grandfathered in, they can shuffle that around, but they can't get more. They would have to be completely separate accounts. They might be able to sell that shell FC if they have one in the future. They can't generate more. SE had a hole in their rules and logic. They've plugged it. They can't punish players for playing within their rules. But they can and have prevented them from continuing to do so unless they wanted to incur the significant expense of having to pay for multiple accounts.

It's not like that at all.
It's more like "I and my small FC want to enjoy the game features". Looks like you only can have a medium/large ward if you have a huge FC where you don't know half of the people or get one ward cheating.

That's ridiculous.

No, ridiculous is to not have a large/medium house for your FC after the last patch. Majority of servers had so many free plots hours and even days after the last patch, including my server. Oh you are located in overpopulated server? Then take your small FC with few people and transfer. Overpopulation didnt happen over night. Speaking of transfer - until SE lifted the restriction there was so many medium/small plots on Cerberus, so basically even if you moved to my server last few minutes before the DT you could buy a medium plot.

Yeah, it's a cool update on the housing rules and I applaud them. I just pointed that they should be retroactive to make it fair.

Transfering is not a solution.

Um... No. You need to be the correct lvl so you can provide the materials. So you can do nothing with a lvl 1 character.

Problem here is not a 1 person FC. Problem here is when this person is obviously not a player, starting with the name, ending with the lvl. People want to have as many houses as they can, because, hey, more is better. And f*** the others. Right?

SE should change a bit the rules, including something about keeping a house, not just purchasing it.

Problem is balancing it with players who scrapped together the house payment

I'm sorry, should I transfer and abandon my server just because some people can't play nice? So cute.

yawwwwn

this is getting bit old lol

If you value getting a house over friends? I guess so? Also with cross world party i don't see the reason to stick to same world anymore. Especially with cross world LS and FC in the future.


Side note: There is still a couple larges and a good amount of mediums on my server

[Masekase_Hurricane]

Still houses in goblet though I don't understand why ppl just don't grab them. We spent nearly 2 years in goblet it wasn't the zone we wanted, albeit now we have a medium in mist which is the zone we wanted. Sometimes patience is the key instead of now now now.

A simple look through the ward navigator will show you TONS of "FC"s with only 1 member and a medium/large ward. Sometimes, even that only member is a level 1 character.

It's clearly a violation of the rules and it's really frustrating for real players and real FCs being unable to found a medium ward while we have to see this daily.

How is it a violation of the rules to be a member of an FC at lvl 1? Another hater thats wants something for nothing, and waants to omit the time and energy others put into the game. probably plays 1 hour a week but wants everything that 40hr a week players have. Git gud and buy a house.

Yes you are right it's not against the rules but it is purposefully flouting the rules. Creating a free company with the intention of kicking the other 3 people is working the rules to your advantage, running the fc with a level 1 character again bending the rules, when u need to be Be a member of a Grand Company and Reach level 25.

I hope they crack down on it further and make it so leader needs to be level 70 and unlocked x mission etc. Actually with novice network and linkshells they should just make it lvl 70 till you can form a company or join one :P

Same on Lou. I kind of wanted to relocate my private large from Shiro to Goblet but the location i want is taken but yet we still have 3 larges left (granted not in the best positions but large nontheless) and like 8 mediums and god knows how many smalls - stopped counting after 20.

Come on its SE. The grandmaster of cater to the casual player not the loyal one. They will never restrict housing purchases to clear x content first.
