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

Every plot was gone inside of 5 minutes.

Are you sure? I got this message.

Well what I'm referencing is owning a "personal house" and also a "free company house", because the latter are pretty frequently sold and thus are easier to acquire. I had read some players owned as many as four houses (using the aforemetioned loophope), on two different characters, but I'll admit I haven't personally witnessed it.

I definitely know that owning a personal and a FC house is possible. And to me, that just isn't fair for players who don't even HAVE a house.

No it's not a big issue. You're trying to make it out to be one. It's not good policy to retroactively remove something from someone who did nothing wrong.
Relative to FC abuse I can agree that needs a major fix. No one should be able to use alts to be able to buy or lead more than one FC house.

They should remove it.

Is it fair that just because someone wants to be in an FC that they can't have their own personal space? Especially if they don't have permissions for the FC house like gardening and decorating.

I had waited 2 hours on one plot with another player just to see a total rando walk up to the plaque and place a house on a plot. I imagined this devaluation timer was specifically just so such cases wouldn't happen.

I now had just waited out a 6 hour timer on a different plot, only to see it RESET to another 6 hours. What is even going on? Do I literally have to camp a spot for 24 hours for a CHANCE to get a house? What's the point of the devaulation timer if it is not going to display correct information?

Devaluation timer =/= lockdown timer. The timer that's keeping you from buying a plot (because the plot has been vacated somewhat recently) is invisible.

The person who placed a house on the plot most likely relocated. If you own a house and relocate, you are allowed to bypass the timer.

The other time is separate, and is just calculating the devaluation. This resets every six hours. A plot could be unavailable to purchase for as short as 30 minutes or upwards of 22 hours. It is completely random.

I think once someone buys a house that should be it. No relocating or selling it or whatever. Too many people don’t have a house to allow for some to just move to whatever free plot they like while new players are camping it.

No it's not abusive. You're being abusive for trying to take something away from someone who did nothing wrong and simply did what they were permitted to do at the time. Sorry SE and the development team DO NOT agree with you and rightfully so.

The Abuse lies in stinginess and not giving up land that others also paid for. Don't justify SE's Mistake by blaming them in the same sentence. The player(s) participated in wrongful acts knowing of the situation. one house is enough for one person one FC house is enough for the group of members. why don't the said people who have taken up plot spacing use apartments aswell? its free to everyone just as housing in its fullness. use common sense not deluded judgements.

I agree that auto-demolition needs to restart. It has been seven months. The pandemic is going to continue into next year. I don't mean to sound cruel but if you can't afford a FFXIV sub having an in-game house is the least of your troubles.
