Housing relocation is crap!

[Jojoya]

Cause we didn't know! We jsut learned after he screwed us. And no matter what you say guys this system is not fair. The hidden timer should work equally for all players new and relocated ones. The system you suggest is pay double the money by buying 2 plots instead of 1 so you can get a house on shirogane. That's not logic. Hidden timer is ok just on equal terms. Or people will screw you like they did yesterday

So now both of you know how the system works.

It is still fair. No one screwed your friend over. It was her own fault for not learning how the system works.

So now she knows to buy a house anywhere, cheap as possible since she intends to relocate when something in Shirogane becomes available. If Odin is anything like Coeurl, she'll have a choice of multiple plots where the price has bottomed out (especially in the Goblet) which means just 2 million gil to buy the house and the estate permit.

Once a plot opens in Shirogane, she can relocate. Depending on the grade of the original plot your friend bought, she'll get a credit of 400-600k toward the purchase price of the new plot. There's also no need to buy another estate permit so the only thing she'll need to pay is the plot price (less the credit from the old plot).

She might be out a little extra gil but at least it gives her a much better chance of getting the plot she wants in the long run and at least she has a house in the meantime.

Nah, I just checked all the wards on Odin and currently there is one small open in the Goblet and two smalls in the Mist.

I agree with the general notion though - she should try to get her hands on one of those and then relocate once she sees an opening.

Since everyone can do that, its not unfair - and its also not screwing anyone in terms of getting a house, because the person relocating is leaving an open plot behind.
If you dont want that one... to bad for you, sorry to be so blunt. But if you dont want to settle for anything but your dream house, you might have to get used to the idea to not getting a house at all, even though you have the option(s).
