ok why is this even allowed ? (housing)

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Looks like they need to add a term into the game that only allows 1 house on the world per account so Jenova characters could only get one house even if they got 50 characters or whatever and same goes to every character but a account should have a lock of a maxium of 10 houses total that would prevent stuff like that

That exists already. This is an fc house, which is different. Unfortunately, you can still get multiple fc houses, especially if it's a different account that buys it, then makes the other account leader.

that needs to have another term then maybe something like 1 house at a time on fc multibuys auto destorys the old houseafter 10 days or something then?

SE had made it that way - one FC house per world. But from my understanding if say your main was in a FC with a house and you had an alt on that same world that was in an FC that didn't have a house - that homeless FC wouldn't be able to buy a house even if you didn't own either FC. So they changed it back for FCs.

Really SE just needs to make instanced housing as a viable option. But I don't know if they can't or just won't.

I'm stating for the term to be account bound not character bound so lets say My Meru makes an fc gets a house and I get a Alt lets say named Lexi and make it able to get it the game would prevent Lexi from buying a house and give a error "currently owns a house bound to this account"

I understand what you are saying but say your alt is in an FC and the leader stops playing and you inherit the FC leadership position and therefore the FC house. Does that mean the rest of the FC then becomes homeless because that house will be demolished because you already own an FC with a house on your main? That's also why SE changed the FC "rule". It's not perfect but I think they were trying to choose between the "lesser of two evils".

You can allow them all to have personal houses that they can buy just prevent them from buying a freecompany house so lets say my fc is heartless and i buy a plot outside of fc it would show Meru (correct) and then the fc the one im saying only 1 per fc on would say Plot: size large: <<heartless>> So honestly yes or maybe they should add in a longer term to like 30 days for fc plots.

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm understanding you correctly. Forgive me if I'm not.

Right now you can buy one personal and one FC house on your character on a world. If you are the leader of a FC with a house you cannot buy anymore FC houses even on alts on that world. If you just belong to an FC with a house but don't own that FC, I believe you can still purchase an FC house if you are the leader of another FC. Regardless of that, people are getting around owning multiple FCs with houses by purchasing other FCs that already own houses then they just become leader of that FC and thus that house. I'm not saying it's right but I don't think SE has a way to do checks for that (or again I think they would be doing that). I don't think very many people do that honestly, but there are a couple of people who do and they do flaunt it. I would think SE COULD do something about those people, but not sure that they will.

That used to be the case when they first put account restrictions in place. If you were in an FC with a house on that realm, any other FCs you were in on other characters on that realm (within the same FFXIV service account), were banned from being able to obtain a house! And this wasn't limited to if you were leader or not, if you were as much as a member of 2 different FCs across 2 different characters (even if you were the lowest rank), it banned the second FC from being able to buy a house.

that indeed would be nice, aswell as a lets say i buy a second FF14 account (i know ppl that did it ...) buy house and give "lead" or ownership to first account, should be restricted entirely, like 1 account own 1 private house + 1 FC house (if leader) max and that it ...


im also amazed that SE isnt "monitoring" these "owner", because with so much money entering, i bet you everything RMT is involved !

then said house should be given to first player not owning a house, because "if alt FC lead stop playing will i be homeless ?" you said it yourself its an alt, shouldnt have priority over main character

tthen said house should be given to first player not owning a house, because "if alt FC lead stop playing will i be homeless ?" you said it yourself its an alt, shouldnt have priority over main character

I'm not disagreeing, I'm just explaining why SE did what they did because it was messing up homeless FCs from getting a house because someone in their FC already was in an FC with a house (mind you they didn't even have to be the owner of either FC) and both of those characters could have been alts. I don't think SE's programming allows them to do all those kinds of checks or I would think they would have already done it.

Edit - I'll just say again that if SE would put in real viable instanced housing as an option (not just one room apartment) then I think the housing problem would go away.
