Improve Apartment Features

[TMW001]

Ditto on this all players should be able to upgrade their plots instead of large and mediums being limited to lucky few (mostly bots and plot sellers)

I just want to ask, where is your proof?
I will admit, it is possible for large and medium in the hand of RMT, but that is minor
This lottery, it is pretty much impossible
Any evidence to back up your statement?

We can hope. Will they do it quickly though? That is the bigger question. All we can do is keep pushing them to sit down and do it! I hope they will.

Lottery, rather than being the bandaid, has just exposed the size of the wound, with so many people unhappy. That's not good!

Well the Eastern Market is fine with the Apt, the Western Market is trying to push their idea of the american dream house should be standard. And well that's when cultural differences of what both consider fine for a living space starts to appear.

Not gonna link the RMT housing resale website directly but it's not minor.

Quazii and other streamers have made multiple videos about RMT resale.

SE has also stated in patch notes, the lottery system, the 30 day period for FCs/ FC members and the other new restrictions put in place is partially a response to RMT resellers.

You think SE implemented all those changes because RMT housing resale is a minor issue?

With the lottery system, RMT resellers have multiple accounts/characters loaded with gil usually from botting in other parts of the game. They then bid on highly desirable mediums/larges.

Regardless of how bad the RMT resale problem within housing is, it would not exist at all if SE had used a system where every player could get the house of their choosing.

The moment some barrier to content access is placed, RMT will find a way to take advantage.

Yup.

The majority of the problems exist because SE did not have the foresight to implement a long-term scalable solution like fully instanced housing right from the start.

RMT housing resale is profitable because the limited ward housing leads to artificial scarcity.

If housing had been fully instanced and the supply abundant, RMT housing resale would not be profitable.
