Once again they dropped the ball. The housing was meant to be for people without since covid and housing timer off. Yoshi p even said they were being brought in cause of increase of players. However, what happened.
The usual. Peolle with established housing taking new prime spots. Then let's add on the people who legit trolled.they would buy a plot in the new wards then relocate or change servers leaving what was supposed to be a easily purchased plot with the random hidden timer.
Once again they fell short of any insight which started back in stormblood.
1) they grandfathered in peoples extras. This itself would have alleviated alot of housing cry. Not enough but would have given more people a chance.
2) even with new rules in place people still sell of plots or even plots attached to free companies. That is another bag of worms. That is easily fixable by making it so a person has to be a member for 6 months to be able to take ownership. This would greatly reduce seeing people selling larges attached to a fc for 300mil. You know the thing they were trying to combat.
3) they should have suspended relocation when the new wards came out but not told anyone they were so people didnt have time to create a new service account to bypass that restriction. This would have given people this housing was meant for a fighting chance to get a house. Then they could have announced relocation would be open 7 days after.
4) housing would probably be better off with fc's in housing wards since players barely use them outside of rp places and personal in instanced which could be included in our sub since we house owners (when the demo timer is on) need to have a active sub anyways and go in once every 45 days to even keep our personal house.
They need to fix this right but I know they wont. It will all fall on deaf ears which is sad. The outcry will continue and they will scratch their heads as to why
