    Abolition of salvaged jewelry and extravagant salvaged jewelry

    Why are all the building sites in the guild residential areas and the mixed residential areas occupied on most servers?
    Most people here probably know the answer.
    Guilds are formed, and these guilds almost always have only one member. The purpose of these guilds is to purchase housing, then send submersibles to specific areas and obtain these salvaged, or rather extravagant, salvaged accessories. These accessories can only be sold to merchants, but at very high prices (27,000 Gil for the extravagant salvaged ring, for example).

    You can usually recognize these guild housings by the fact that they use the normal house walls and, apart from the Aetherite, there are no decorations in the garden. If the house is open, you'll rarely find any furnishings or decorations here either.

    These housings are only used for submersibles to make massive amounts of gil, so these ornaments urgently need to be removed. This will free up many building sites for guild housing and, in the mixed areas, also for private housing. These are small houses, but I think most guilds would be very happy with even a small one.

    On Raiden, our guild has a house in a guild-only residential area, which had been barely used for a very long time. One day, I came online and all the building sites in our area (Raiden) were taken. These undecorated houses had been built on the sites. It looks similar in other areas, including Alpha and Twintania, and it's certainly no different in other data centers. All the building sites where you can build guild housing are occupied by such guilds, and guilds that want housing are left empty-handed.

    Please remove the accessories.

    Psh. If they did that, I'd just re-sell my houses to other players for millions. But I'll keep your post in mind while I buy out 8 more smalls.

    Or maybe, just ask for enough housing to keep up with player demand. But what SE should really do is make sure all players have access to a small house by default and then make them expandable to keep the gil sink aspect. Giving all players access to housing is just another way almost all other mmos, even FFXI, are becoming increasingly superior as XIV slowly rots away in a sea of stagnation.

    As someone with an FC house whose ships bring these accessories back, I have no idea why you would need more than 1. There just really isn't anything to spend gil on and you can't even Scrooge McDuck in it.

    ...ok, but what if the newly created living space is immediately bought up by, let's call them, dive boat farmers?

    While I don't think you're wrong, I can't imagine it will ever happen. If they won't remove people from the multiple homes they grandfathered in, they won't work to remove the reason people keep multiple accounts active.

    Alanna, my fair player from Goblin, not only will they never remove grandfathered homes from players, they actively refuse to fix the method one can use to gain 40 houses per service account! I'm afraid you're in a "if you can't beat them" situation here.

    Better to detach the workshop from housing. No need to change the loot tables and the sub farms no longer have the initial expense of house purchase eating into their profits.

    Which is fine. SE doesn't have a problem with that since you had purchased specifically for the sub farm and not to resell for profit. At least some other players would be finally able to get a house.
