Great Housing Idea

[Alleluia]

So, there is a thread to post questions for the Devs for the August 7th live letter and we're asked in the OP to read the ones posted, not ask duplicates, and instead leave a like with the questions we like. That said, there's this absolutely excellent housing idea:

Could it be possible for every player to earn an instanced medium-sized house through the rebuilding Ishgard storyline? That way, no players will be left homeless if they participate, most players see Ishgard as their home, and it would be lovely if everyone could live there and not just an exclusive few.

If you guys like it, please click the little blue arrow and go leave a like. I think its brilliant, personally.

Also maybe drop a comment in this thread to keep it on the first two pages for a few hours so more people see this.

Housing is supposed to be a gil sink so unless it costs 20m and up, never gonna happen.

I wonder...

In ESO you can also get a house and you can even buy them for actual money on the store (ESO does not have a mandatory sub fee so it leans heavily on the store).

They were that game's big money/gold sink but eventually Zenimax must have crunched numbers and found people were spending less on the houses themselves and more on furnishing these houses because they gave all NA users a free house of substantial size for a trivial achievement and then gave everyone a free house at the end of the Elsweyr MSQ. This whole "free house with no furnishings" system must be working for them.

Honestly, I furnished both a medium FC house and a small house. I think I spent equal to, if not more gil furnishing both those (I don't have crafters up) than the cost to purchase them. The gil sink excuse is honestly bs imo.

Naturally the player bragging that they own nearly an entire ward in their signature would be opposed to this. If players get welfare homes, all those houses you are trying to rent or sell off might lose value.

I believe you have comprehension issues with English. Where have I exactly shown any opposition to the proposition? I stated that SE will not hand out a medium house to players for free. Besides, our houses are FC houses. Until personal houses get all the perks FC houses benefit from, aka never, none of these houses are gonna lose value.

Hear. Feel. Think.

Then the instance can cost money. /shrug Its more the instanced medium house in Ishgard idea that's the brilliant part to me.

Besides "never gonna happen" isn't a reason not to ask. :P

Sure, but it's never gonna be free.

What you think doesn't matter in this topic due to your absolutely selfish abuse of the housing system.

Well, I think that's a bit too far, there. If nothing else, their responses are keeping this thread on page 1 just like the rest of us, yeah?

Once again, you fail to address your own statements. Disappointing.

...

The OP didn't ask for a free instanced medium house. The OP asked for a way to earn an instanced medium house through the rebuilding Ishgard storyline. Whether paying a fee for the house would be included or not was not specified in the OP, but I wouldn't be against it.
