Timer for housing relocations

[Dreamsoap]

I own a private house and I want to see this change. Please make it so that you can only relo once every 3 months, give it a cooldown so it's a choice people have to think about.
Even asides from too many people trying to enter the housing market with the influx of new players, it's too commonly used as a griefing/ plot control tactic. I remember the release
of the new extra wards being flooded with relocaters just to set the plots on timers for shits and giggles. Or to otherwise extend the chances of their friends getting one.
Also if SE wanted to like, actively watch what happens at open plots, that would be cool.

First of all, no one will relocate that often, of course, there are sadistic individual would do that but that is not a norm.
The situation you describe will happen either way with or without this timer.
People who got bad location at older ward will always want to take opportunity for a better plot in the new ward, so that makes you are lol 3 months timer pointless.
You will still see many plots on timer at older ward.

You might want to reserve your energy on ask Square/Enix to abandon the lol lottery idea.
Just imagine after ishegard release, there are so many plots on timer and everyone (those without the house) submitted a que to the lol lottery system.
Oh wow, the tear is going to real

It's happening on Balmung right now it's all over the housing discord with people transferring just to troll. I have a friend working hard to try and get a plot there. Furthermore these people are not transferring in right away but doing it during prime time when most houses are in fact coming off timers to reset them. Interestingly enough those doing it say they can and that SE won't do anything about it. These characters are sadistic and are going to spoil transfers for the good guys. There needs to be a 30 day cooldown on transfers so anyone transferring can't do it again right away let alone transfer out right after to the plot they transferred from.

There is no reason why transfers should be unlimited with only a 5 minute cooldown.

I was wondering why the same couple of plots on the mist and the goblet keep on popping up.

I've honestly thought about reporting it but couldn't find anything concrete.

It's become a real issue and I'm only aware of it because of my friend who is placard clicking and a member of the housing discord.

There is one plot on Balmung in Goblet's Brimming Heart in my ward 17 where I have my FC that had 3 transfers in 24 hours with one person saying they made a mistake. Would have loved for her to get that one but Brimming Heart is a place where transfers into are pretty common. It's simply become a joke really. Relocations are a good thing but their needs to be a limit to how often one can do it.

I have relocated twice in my housing history, once to another small near the water in Lavender and a second time to a medium in Shirogane. The Shirogane transfer took place during new ward additions with 4.2.

Again, it is Balmung's problem and it doesn't mean other servers are having the same issue.
Balmung has a lot of unique problems and I really don't see any justification a new rule need to apply to every other servers just because of Balmung

I can't personally speak for other servers and neither can you. Perhaps people on discord can speak to that with respect to how widespread the problem is. According to my friend who belongs to that discord this is NOT a problem unique to Balmung. The fact that this can happen and is happening is more than enough justification to fix it.

Changes are in fact coming as mentioned in the Endwalker digital event and I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

No thanks. New wards don't take 3 months to fill so why do people keep coming up with these months long relocation timers. To add weight to the decision? I'll move to a better plot whenever I like thank you.

Realistically relocation should not be a thing at all.

Seriously, why are people who already have a house rewarded with the ability to jump to the head of the line on a new plot?

EDIT: Relocation could be an option AFTER the relocator stands there clicking with everyone else.

Because relocation doesn't remove a housing plot, it's a net neutral change, one plot for one plot. You can just find their old plot and try that one instead.
