housing conundrum: there needs to be a better way.

[LianaThorne]

I love how people go back to tos. The stormblood grandfathering aside...people have been using a alt loophole to bypass a programmed in ruleset that's been in place since stormblood. I believe this would fall under some sort of tos concerning modification.

The fact the dev team put a 30 day restriction on new members in a fc shows they well aware of the fact. They just need to have the balls to pull the trigger but they won't. So the outcry for housing continues.

Instanced housing would abolish this. I myself am not saying both private and fc moved to instanced...if anything private at most. Then the crying would stop. It doesn't abolish the obvious breach of rule people are doing now that been in place since stormblood.

I always thought private be instanced and allow workshop to be utilized to build either a medium or mansion frame for use on instanced house.

Obviously keep fcs to wards as lots of venues run out of them but a total wipe of ownerships across the board. Refund the plot and furnishing cost to the owner. Then increase the new member thing to say 365 days so it essentially kills off the alt loophole. Then make all fc houses medium and large plots only. Although expanding on this. Can offer a free plot purchase to the fc owner after the wipe so they can get a fc house back but only one per service account per world and absolutely make sure the loophole or any loophole is closed.

Lol who would make new FCs at all then if they cant even go for housing thats literally available in every server? You'd basically kill off the chance for any new players to make one with their friends and restrict FCs to only established ones lol. Yeah, no. Let's not screw over everyone for the sake of a minority of people.

This also just sounds like an attempt to reroll mansions to try to get one so that's cool....I guess. Who would get priority with the free plot purchase? I'm curious.
