Housing relocation is crap!

You're*

No, i'm not forgetting it was a big mess pre adjustment. It's not flawless but i still stand by to say system is heck more fair now compared to 6 months ago.

^_^ True enough.

What I meant by 5.0 is the only chance is that SE needs to make a huge Improvement givin the budget they get for 5.0 to make housing a better experience.

First, I don't think they should announce any budget for 5.0. Doing that for Stormblood was HUGE mistake.

Second, I don't think we'll get a new housing system, it's obvious they held back by their 1.0 spaghetti code. We need a total back-end revamp.

Oh no not announce the budget but use that budget to improve housing or improve the big issue thats been holding this game back from its true potential 1.0 spaghetti code. Like you can't even craft from your retainer anywhere you have to manually remove the items.

Gotcha, yeah i agree with that, i'm very skeptical though.

Only chance you say?
What are you? A Psychic? Please..don't make me laugh.

Your words..not mine.

Again your picking words out and not actually reading further it's like talking to a brick wall.

Making excuses for something you said? How predictable.

I've literally stated in further context what I meant if you can't read than unfortunately this is going nowhere have a nice day.

In order for SE to fully fix housing, it would need a complete overhaul. They'd have to make everything instanced (though that would remove some things like being able to show off your yard to your neighbors).

Pretty much everyone agrees the housing system is bad. There's been multiple threads on it over the years so we're just beating a dead horse at this point.

They've made improvements, though. There are well over 100 houses open on my server, including mediums and occasionally a mansion. It has gotten much better.

The reason why relocation is allowed earlier is because you're giving up a plot to get a plot. That costs even more money because you're only getting 30% of the lowest price back. So you basically paid extra just to get a house you wanted. By the time I relocate to a mansion, I will have spent around 77 million gil just to get a 50 million gil house.

The system isn't perfect. Heck, its not even really good. But its as fair as they can make it right now.

At least we have housing in this game. 10+ years later WoW stil has jack.

Most people I know, including myself started out in a house we didn’t like. However, we were happy to have the house since it was something. When relocation was added we finally got the chance to get the houses we actually wanted or in the area we actually wanted, even then some still had to settle for something different. Most people don’t start out getting exactly what they want they just take opportunities as they come. This post honestly makes you and your friend sound greedy like you think you deserve something even tho everyone else has played by the system. You had the same opportunity the other person had, you chose not to do it. The person who relocated still spent gil on the house they had, they didn’t get to relocate for free.

Relocation Remarks

This alone is the key point....
If they can revoke the "Grandfathering" policy and force people who own more than one house to release said extra homes (Get 45 days to choose/get their furniture back/refund gil the works) then at least the scales will be better off in terms of balance.

Like it or not...this is what we have to work with....can only get better.
