Relo mechanics are Cancer

[Jojoya]

Do you have data to back up this point?

My data is "common sense".

What's your data to prove it's the same player who relocated to each of those 5 plots?

Not sure why you felt asking such a stupid question would lead to constructive discussion.

I'm not. I'm annoyed with the relocaters, and I'm annoyed with SE for letting them do it. Every relocate just increases the amount of time it takes for a new owner to buy a plot. This does not help the housing situation in any way, shape, or form.

Relocation helps with some of the other problems that used to come from housing, like FC disbandment and needing to totally clear out inventory on multiple retainers to make room for housing items that had been placed. It reduces the number of players turning to flippers to get their dream plot (though flipping will never completely disappear as long as supply of any size house is less than the demand).

Once you get a house, you too will be able to relocate to a plot you like better if it becomes available. You will have already paid your Housing Savage dues.

There are only two things that will take away the headaches you're experiencing right now as you try to buy: SE deletes the ward system altogether or SE fixes the supply problem. I doubt the former will ever happen since it would make hundreds of thousands of players extremely unhappy so we need to focus SE's attention on doing the latter.

Other MMOs do not have this problem with housing. Neither should FFXIV.
