Apartments need Rent

[MilkieTea]

I would like a source on this myself. Extraordinary claims requires extraordinary evidence.

That's why they need to restrict personal houses to one per server.

That's why appartments need access to yard space (so we have true instanced housing).

That's why there needs to be a random, invisibile, timer that lasts between 1 to 24 hours when house is released so the risk involved with getting your house from a house flipper is so great, that many will not want to do just that.

2/3 are ingame now!

The last paragraph was someones signature, too. Though I don’t know whose, and OP said that it was harassment to have their signature be OP’s quote. (If I’m remembering correctly)

Kinda amusing how everyone highlights those... but completely skip the first part (which implies the rest)...

Here let me bold that for you:

While I appreciate new wards for all the housing districts coming in 4.2, and this is very much a step in the right direction, this is only going to be a short term solution at best as the unaddressed issue with housing (being land barons) is going to cause the exact same issue we saw with Shirogane to appear AGAIN.

SE needs to take action to kill FFXIVs house flipping market, or they will never be able to add enough wards because all the land barons will do is further increase their holdings while the rest of us get screwed.

That's also why the alt shell FCs intended solely to take up housing slots need to be dealt with.

We need ALL of these things with the additional wards in order to fix this issue, as any of these fixes by themselves isn't going to resolve the issue.

Amazing how a bunch of disingenuous posters keep taking that quote out of context solely to smear me over something that's ancient and aimed SPECIFICALLY at addressing the house flipping market because of all the bad RMT stuff it was driving at the time with prices that were 4-5x the SE sticker price... if not higher.

It hasn't though? Your idea did nothing. The flippers and resellers are still at it. I just saw one flip a small FC /w house on Balmung for 150 million gil. I've seen flippers sell housing plots as relocations as RMT. Your idea not only failed miserably, but it's made housing even worse for the average player.

So, yeah, this whole rent for apartments thing, not a good idea.

SE has never credited me with anything, so as far as I can tell, my idea never made it into the game and SE did their own thing. Please show me proof that SE actually took and implemented my idea and it's not just a random coincidence.

So you admit the idea was a bad one then?

So you admit that SE didn't use my idea and that it was coincidence that they implemented something similar then?

I'll ask again: Do you admit that your idea, which was implemented to the letter of what you asked for, was a bad one?

Why would it be smearing you? Simply provided the source for their claim. If that's smearing you then, well... stop quoting everything I've written thus far. Like, everything.
