Trash System Needs To Be Fixed NOW

[Metallus]

You could as a last resort move to another Chaos World such as Omega or Louisoix and buy a house instantly cause we have hundreds of vacant plots, and just visit Cerberus. Other than that your best bet is reddit housing market, i often see FC with plot for sale and not really too pricey. If moving worlds is an option i could always assist since i own some fc's on the two worlds i mentioned above. Even party finder you might find someone like myself who lurks in the shadows that often give a helping han...paw. :P


Anyway, i couldn't agree more, this housing system is so bad it needs to be, Reborn, i can't believe they hold no value in this area of the game, the only reason they have so many ACTIVE subscriptions, is due to house auto-demolition FEAR.

Oh yes, this morning I was considering transferring to Omega, and so I gathered information about the transfer.

I was hoping that Cerberus -> Omega transfer would have fallen in the situation of "Congested server -> new/preferred server", therefore being free of charge and allowing full transfer of gil.

However, Cerberus is not considered a congested server (despite being full) and Omega is not considered new/preferred despite having low population, therefore transfers are not free of charge AND you can only transfer 10M gil.
I saved up almost 60M by farming Ozma (baldesion arsenal / eureka) and selling pets/weapons because I was planning to relocate to a larger plot in the future, but this completely screws my plans. Moreover I should empty my apartment/FC-room and I do not have any space left. I should hire 3-4 retainers in addition to that fee and I would lose my FC in the process. Of course I could buy the FC from people like you, but this still doesn't solve the other issues.

Thank you very much for the offer, but SE managed to discourage even that option.

Technically, you're paying to access the server.



I'll echo this sentiment. OP, do you really think your opinion is special enough to warrant its own thread? There's already threads complaining about the current housing system, why not post in one of those?

If the abundance of these threads bother you 2 so much, why dont you just stop coming to the housing forum and clicking on new threads. Thats something you 2 can avoid easily.

While it's unfortunate that this is such a big problem, your FC doesn't have to do that. No one needs to sit there for 24+ hours waiting to buy a house. No one needs a house in FFXIV. This is definitely a Want type of issue.

No one needs to play the game either yet here we are.

They don't bother me, nor do I specifically visit the housing forums. I mainly browse the new posts section.

I do find it amusing that you're completely fine with making it harder for community managers to gather feedback, though.

How does a few more threads make it harder for them exactly?

Might have something to look forward to with Ishgard's reconstruction, but that'll be a while from now (since it's 5.x content).

Maybe they can upgrade their current system into a lottery that includes relocation systems too so no one is standing at the sign like they are now (you either got it or you didn't and everyone in the lottery had fair chance). I'm sure there are some ways to abuse the lottery, like creating a bunch of alts to increase chance you get the house but it certainly makes trading more dangerous than it is now and puts new buyers on a fair footing. Putting new buyers on equal ground will help a lot I think. It's not perfect but I think it can be better than people being soul crushed after investing hours doing something so boring like they do now (pounding away at the sign hoping to get in).

what do you think is easier to sort through? 30 threads with 20ish comments with scattered amounts of activity or one thread with 600+ comments conatamtly getting bumped?
