Hello fellow Eorzeans,

if, like me, you've been trying to buy a plot of land for a while you'll certainly be aware of what a fantastic activity SE has made sure to force us into. Namely, go to ward N, teleport to plot N, realise it's still "Not ready for sale", teleport back, rinse and repeat for every ward. This wouldn't even too bad if, sometimes (if not most times), the plot you've patiently been waiting in front of for 4 hours suddenly gets snatched by someone who simply decided to relocate, because sod the hidden timer and whoever already has a house obviously must have priority over the poor lowlifes that still don't have one.

Now, salty irony aside, I would like to discuss which kind of options SE could implement to solve the issue. I've thought of a few, and I'd really like to hear your thoughts (obviously this is just mindless chit chat as I know full well that SE is not really that concerned, but still, who knows ?).
  1. Procedurally generated Wards

    I honestly can't believe that SE can't do this. When a Ward fills up and all plots have been bought, *poof* new Ward pops up. Keep the one house per person per World limit, keep the FC housing limit as well, but at least this way anyone can buy a house. Make the prices steeper, so that the Housing district can't get flooded, but no so much as to force people to sell a kidney to buy a small house.

  2. Separation between FC Wards and Individual Wards

    This is really pretty self explanatory. It wouldn't even change the experience much as the plots would get filled up pretty quickly anyway.

  3. Start banning 1-man FCs

    Again, pretty self explanatory. Ban the seller, ban the buyer. Apply your ToS for once. Everyone's happy and you'll probably free at least half of the plots currently owned.
