This has always bothered me.

I know I'm talking to a brick wall, but there is someone who has at least 23 houses on my server. This is so insulting...

[Sauteed]

Cool, but there's not 'fixing' that.. like at all. If you want them to take their houses away, and have them reimburse this person, well that shows the team retcons previous rule sets.. which makes the playerbase overall loose faith in honorable team yoshi.


if you advocate it's cool that someone capitalized during the grandfathering time, you get hated by neo-housing advocates, you'll no longer be able to get jobs, will be stalked on social media, and get the russian sanctioning of the new era levied against you.. except on a ffxiv scale..


if you're not referring to a grandfathered house owner and suggesting someone that is paying for 23 content id's, and denying them a part of the "freedom" of such a purchase, well that's just plain wicked dude.


yes, brick wall remains. The real argument should be to honorable team yoshi to INCREASE SUPPLY.

That is the answer. Have a good day.

I've been playing since 2011, I don't care if they got grandfathered in or not. 23+ houses is excessive. Honorable team yoshi will be fine. "Reimbursement" can easily be made with in-game currency.

I wonder if anyone has even talked to that particular player and asked about them relinquishing a house for them? Of course, I won't get an honest answer here, but I do sincerely doubt it.

I'm sure they'd be happy to - if the price $$$ was right. Most of those shell FC groups have those houses for profit, not because they like decorating.

Of course the problem with paying them to relinquish is that there's no guarantee you'd be able to buy. You'd be fighting with all the others camping the plot (which could include the same player you just paid to relinquish it).

Hence just justifying the need for instanced housing. They can have their 23 houses and still not screw anyone over by doing that.

The definition of a 'you' problem.

Here in lies the issue.. (among many).

The development team's stance on this is ward housing or get bent. This is an issue. I think everyone here agrees.

They come off that, everything gets better. How they go about it? Not my issue. I can say if I owned multiple houses for whatever reason, and someone said a syllable to me about how jacked up that is, I'll do my absolute best to get you banned. And rightfully so.
Taking away what someone earned, for any reason, needs to be fought against, not just XIV, anywhere. If the government of any country was saying we're taking something I worked hard for? Well fortunately the country I live in gives me the right to own and purchase, and USE firearms to keep that from happening. I'm not advocating shooting or killing anyone here at all. But I will voice my concern. And my concern is, being at risk of having things I fought for taken away. It may start with little digital houses here, but oh, they decide to change the way gil is handled.. let's take x player's gil away.. once that happens, glams? You're not just inviting a slippery slope, but going at it for no reason. The problem is the supply. The method of clicking for hours on end is also a serious issue ( I never wanted to see that change or griped about it, I knew what I was getting into when I went for houses in the past), but the answer and even why that was implemented has always been the supply. The answer is not take away from someone, it is deal with the real issue, the supply.

Sounds like your problem with this lies well beyond the scope of FF XIV then, and that we can't help or reason with.

Dude, someone played a game, bought what they were entitled to..

Years pass. random dude # 48i43958345 comes along asking for someone to take away what someone legit earned. Whether through multiple accounts/grandfathering/whatever. I could flip the table on you like you think your'e doing on me, and say HEY you're being greedy at this point ot ask for something to be TAKEN AWAY wrongly from someone who earned what they got. That is pretty vulgar and disgusting. But you're too into modern-era liberalism to think about real life. Good luck dude. Welcome to my b-list.
