Thanks for the guest book

There are people on Sargatanas touring every house from Eorzean Estates Facebook group and leaving nasty messages in books out of spite because of decorator beef on Facebook. It’s so juvenile. People don’t get the commission so they go to that same house and bash the decorator who got the commission instead of them. This is complete misuse and why there are moderating options. I’ve seen more bad from good with message book so far. This right here is why we can’t have nice things, players take a good thing and misuse it.

This is why they turned on comment moderation. Nasty messages were my biggest beef with the book ahead of time, and they solved that by letting us choose what displays. You're always going to have terrible people, but at this point their 'revenge' is ineffectual, since the estate owner can just delete the comment before anyone sees it. And then they've wasted their "one comment a day", anyway.

Our guestbook has had a few messages from neighbours, friends popping by, but mostly it's the FC using it to leave messages for each other lol

Somebody could also start a spreadsheet, with tabs per server, so that anybody who has a guestbook can add their location. People who want to find guestbooks can take a look there and then head out to go book-hunting. Sort it by district/ward, and you can even see who in your ward has books.

It would be a lot of organization, but until there's an official solution...

Omg that's a great idea!

I tried to create a thread in my servers forum, called it the "parade of homes" for people to list houses they want visitors to. It received no replies.

This google docs is a great idea I'll see what I can drum up this weekend.

Love this idea

Or we can simply make a housing search tool just like player search, all houses with a guest book can be shown on the list with teleport option

Yeah, I only meant this as a solution until SE does something in-game. Since we know how long it can take them.
