Time to end the theft of home and bots - GIVE MORE WARDS-!

[NanaWiloh]

The Demo- timer was put in cause of players unsubbing for long periods of time with no indication if and when they would be back. This resulted in a lot of plots just sitting around gathering dust denying others who would use it the chance to buy it. Apartments may not be on equal footing with a house but its something. Something is better then nothing, even if you have house now its good idea to get and apartment. For those in the armed services or with real life matters that pull them away routinely then apartments like it or not should be your aim as your at higher risk of losing any house you buy. The current housing system sucks its not fun, but you can save yourself some frustration by planning ahead and taking the option that best suits your playtime.

Okay, I get it. You're the kind of person who just deviates and says nonsense when people try to argue. Fine, no point in continuing. Good luck!

There was an interesting post on reddit a while back. Someone saw a bot, botting to buy an empty plot. That person decides to transfer their house there and put a retainer next to the sign, and made the retainer sell copper ore for around a million each. The bot ended up targeting the retainer instead (as it was no longer for sale since the dude transferred), and bought all of the copper ore for millions, until it ran out of money XD

That's diabolical. And I love it.

I greatly dislike wards as a whole as they are so dead. Most days you'd be lucky to see even a small handful of people hanging around in the wards. This was even true for me when I was still back on Balmung which seems to hold more events in general. They just feel like a gigantic waste of space to me.

I am so very much on team Instanced/phased housing, and while they're at it, make it available to everyone. Long ago I had assumed instanced housing could only be like a moghouse from XI (similar to XIV's apartments) as that had been my only experience with it for so long. Then I stumbled into games like Wildstar and GW2 and was quickly shown how wrong that thinking was.

Wildstar gave you your own island to play with at I think level 15 or so, and later introduced neighborhoods where you could have a massive island with 4 other people (each still with their own large plot that you could freely run over to and visit).

GW2 lets you have an entire zone to yourself - they're huge. Granted GW2 is limited to guild ownership only, but it still helps to show what could be available with instanced housing.

My dream would be for them to take notes from Wildstar. Give everyone their own space at a low-level, but also have the option to have an instance with your friends if you so desire.

The intersting thing with BDO is everyone can buy the three biggest houses (or whatever houses they like) and it is not even expensive or complicated. With Wildstar housing it is were we see how rigid and weird housing is in FFXIV. Somehow, with glitches, it gives some possibilities but it can't overcome the access problem for gardening & workshop or the tiny size of houses/apartments.
