Idea: Premium Wards

[Yshtola]

What does any of that have to do with anything?

Could have quoted the whole thread to be honest.

Almost doubling the monthly fee just to have a large house is insane. We don't all make the big bucks.

I am really not fond of the idea of purchasing playable content when we already pay a sub and have to pay for expansions.

$10/mo and your house still gets demolished? I have no words. I just can't.

No thanks. I already pay for a sub, I shouldn't have to pay more for a damn house.

I'd rather not have FFXIV turn into ESO. Once we start paying real money for houses, it's only a matter of time before $150 super-duper premium houses start being offered.

This is an awful idea OP, housing should be for everyone, not just the mogstation whales. Should we also give premium access to other content like dungeons, raids etc.

People cry about the thought of having to spend the equivalent of 2 kitkats per month. It's just hilarious when you know damn well they will be anything but frugal when it comes to other things.

Also worth noting the same people are, ironically, disagreeing with a suggestion that would achieve just what they want when it comes to housing.

Wrong. I have a crisis every time I have to buy something I don't need (i.e. isn't required in order to keep living, such as food, medicine, etc.), including subbing to this game. I'm always afraid I'm wasting money. So I'm fully aware that adding an extra price tag to the game just to have something that's already in it is stupid.

Also... how much do Kitkats cost where you are that makes two cost up to $10? That's absurd. Then again, you seem to make a point of moving goalposts and referring to things that were vaguely implied to be mentioned that we should be arguing against instead of the actual words people used, so you're not exactly a wealth of rationale.

Sounds like you need help, but you're posting on a forum instead. I guess it explains why you're relying on cherry picking certain elements instead of using the whole context, but go on, keep dancing.

Oh I see now, you're a troll. Sorry, your willingness to jump on any thread about housing led me to believe it was something you were really passionate about, not that you seek to troll people but can only really ever do it in very narrow context. My mistake.

@alyanna_elingval, my apologies if my statement was not clear, i wrote technically one mechanic (not the sole mechanic) to keeping a house is to remain subbed, you won't be able to game anyways or log in to enter your house if subscription is expired.

Also on the matter of pay to win, i definitely understand that this phrase is used to describe paying to gain some sort of an advantage over others in-game, but i just used it in the housing matter context my apologies if it seemed off point.

Finally, an improved form of instanced housing having improved aesthetics and functionality, that is always readily available will definitely help as it assures that there will always be housing for all even in the unfortunate event of a house demolition due to not logging in and entering one's estate, a home owner of a demolished home can easily purchase an instanced house and just try again to acquire a plotted house (if he/she is still interested). Instanced housing will sort of lessen the burden of having to think of ones subscription as well.
