An end to the camping timer. An end to resale. A return to...

They aren't going to increase the prices. They will not allow the rich the housing market. They will not allow auctions for housing purchases and they aren't going to institute lotteries. Forum banter about these ideas isn't going anywhere in my opinion. They are and will address the housing shortage in other ways well before they try and do any of this. I think Ishgard and the new servers will be a litmus test for where they plan to take housing. We shouldn't have to wait too long and my bet is 5.0 will see significant changes to the supply side. Will it be enough for everyone well probably not unless instanced housing and upgraded apartments are something they have planned.

Oh I'm well aware they won't do any of that, and I'm really hoping the increased servers at least give me a chance at a small.

Assuming by 'scalping' you mean selling relocations, it would fix that issue. As for FC resale, it would severely reduce that issue. Apparently the 'people much smarter than you' aren't following the conversation either, if that's what they're contributing.

So...your idea to fix the problem of FC resale is inflate the prices by 1300%, which doesn't actually get rid of the problem, just puts a higher pricetag on it so casual players will never get to experience it.

I mean, technically you don't have to fix that broken vase if you smash the remains into powder.
