Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

[BehindTheFlowers]

What they should have done was disable relocation of plots for 24 hours.
That would have stopped trolls and those that rush to get a plot and relocate, so it induced timers.
But again it was still fare from enough.
When I went to log in. on the time of scheduled reopening (give or take what difference there is on my clock and SE's server clocks) there was more in queue to get online then there was even plots up for grab

What they should have done is removed the relocation timer, because randomly blocking people from swapping houses is a wretched bandaid designed to discourage bot trading when this problem is trivially solved by autoscaling.

SE don't care about you, or us.
Of the fact their product is rigged or bad. What they care about is your money.

So lets all unsubscribe for 1 month, and let them feel it in the wallet. Money talk loder then forums.

Already done.

There should be a relocation restriction timers for such matters. Like, if you just got a house, no matter due relocation or not, you can't relocate it for, say, 48 hours.
It's not a perfect solution, but for the system we have it's a workable crutch. I mean, if there's timers for buying, should be timers for relocation too.
And ofc there should be a foolproof for that like "you sure you wanna relocate, you won't be able to do so again in 48 hours". Just cuz not everyone read Lodestone about housing restrictions. >_>

People should ofc be allowed to have alts, but you can have all classes, gathering, crafting and battle on one single character. In theory you only need one char, ergo only one house. Unless you have other people playing on your account ofc and they want their own personal house. But alts should be able to share the house with the main, as in make the alts tenants. You only need one house then. Atm you can't add your alts as friends, but it would be nice if they implement that you at least can add the chars on your account as tenants, then a lot of houses can be free for other ppl.

I play this game to roleplay. I prefer to have my alts completely separate from each other, and each have their own houses, own stories. There is a limit already in that you can't have more than 1 house per account per world, so your alts have to live in different worlds to buy houses. So there are limits in place already.

That's not what happened??
That's exactly what happened.
They literally said "homes that are relocated [...] will be placed on a timer."
Was the home relocated?
Yes.
Then the old plot is put on a timer.

[Semirhage]

What? Why? Why in the hell should there be restriction timers around anything? Calling for lockdown timers on housing is sour grapes from people who didn't get a house (which sucks, I feel you), but the solution is fixing this trash excuse for a housing system, not adding arbitrary punishments to the existing one that make it an even more arcane, impenetrable mess if you're not already a homeowner.

Okay, fine, if you're going to play semantics, yes, that is what happened, but it's not from the old to the new wards, it's from the new to their old plots, essentially putting the new ward plots on a timer for the lulz. Mateus Goblet Ward 23 has 5 plots on a timer right now for literally no reason other than people decided to be loltrolls.

There seem to be a market for housing, but SE ignores it.
There seem to be greviances about houses (a lot), but SE ignores it.
There seem to be many suggestions to how they can make it better or even redo it, but SE ignores it.

They ignore a lot. Sad fact, since housing was introduced I tried to get one. the worst memory I have of trying to be "dedicated" to getting a house was 10 hours of sitting there and clicking, till my wrist was swollen and I had to replace the mouse as the button had given up. Ten hours of round the clock clicking. I was not pausing as there was a bot there trying to buy it.
Eventually I could not stay awake any longer and resigned to my fate that to get a house is only possible with bots.

Sad as it amkes me. I can only hope that they rethink the whole system, and relaunch it to make their fans and customers happy again.
