Great Housing Idea

[Zeonx]

I think they should change the housing scene.

Stop with the same routine and give something new for a housing idea its time to change to give people something better for everyone instead of a certain amount of people with the same idea they've been doing since realm reborn.

I couldn't care less about housing because that lets me come and go as I please like I am about to take a 4 month break and well i can do that because I dont own a house.

What question? Can you link me?

Its this question:

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.

Hi everyone

Only my second post ever on the forums as I tend to just read and either agree or disagree with threads and move on, but lately I've had a very stressful time with the game in particular with housing. In it's current state it's definitely helped with the previous issues and problems there were, but it's also definitely created new ones.

I have spent this last week everyday camping at placards with as much time as I have available and unfortunately I've missed out on 8 houses due to the stupid RNG availability. I missed one by mere minutes and of course you rant and then repeat the cycle...but this is nothing new, we all know this and have somehow got used to the 'new normal' - I spent more time this week camping for houses than actually playing the game I sub for, which is ridiculous!

Here's the rub...I already own a small private house, but all I want is an FC house so i can have a company workshop to do all the things associated with it and to force myself to get into crafting more. If I could just convert my private house into an FC house I wouldn't have to waste all this time trying to buy another plot for the FC!

Right now I would take ANYTHING over the current system, I just hate it so much - housing in other MMOs was just never this stressful. I really liked the Wildstar (RIP) way where your character got an instance of their own housing and friends could still visit etc. So i would take this suggestion if it was an option, however I wasn't really fond of Ishgard myself so it would be a hard pill to swallow if it was just Ishgard. If you could choose which 'area' you would like your instanced house then that would be a bonus - so your 'backdrop' could be Ishgard, Shiorgane, Mist, Goblet, Lavender Beds etc...

<<big sigh of exasperation>>

So in summary for housing I would suggest:
- The ability to convert a private house to an FC house (given some conditions such as number of members, rank etc.) or vice versa (with some limitations and exceptions i.e. if you disband/leave your FC or similar)
- Instance housing for everyone (sod the housing market - it's bad enough as it is in real life I don't want the stress of it in a game)
- In addition - make 'company workshops' more accessible for those FCs that don't have an FC house i.e. make them an instance somewhere in a main city or something
