So how are you dealing with your housing-induced rage?

And then GEAR and Materia (thankful for the Void Ark Materia feature).

The way the FF economy works is pretty much, you either craft a lot and sell things or you're sol. And as you stated, we all pay for this game, I shouldn't be inclined to craft if I don't want to.

Not an equal comparison.

The option to craft is there for everyone even if you choose not to partake. The option to purchase a house is NOT there for everyone, because there are simply not enough houses on the server for every player, let alone every character.

If that had been the intention, then the house mechanics would have been made differently when housing first came out. I read both the JP side and the NA side and the JP side doesnt have much grumping much less people saying they 'deserve' housing. Reading the NA side forums, we are much to greedy. Ones that horde the houses to resell and ones that think they deserve stuff.
Also keep in mind that the less populated servers still had housing available hrs after logins. The players also make the choice to go to busy or non busy servers.

Housing WAS made differently when it first came out. Wards were exclusive to Free Companies.

It's when people started demanding personal housing and SE rushed to give it to them that it all went to hell. Wards, as they are, were a perfect setting for FC housing. Personal, not so much.

This is absolutely untrue. There are plenty of methods to make gil without crafting. Just because you don't do it doesn't mean you don't have a method.

I dont think you quite understand what i was saying. By mechanics I mean that it would have been made so that every and all who demanded they wanted one would have one. Which is not the case, both back then and now.

I was just trying to understand if the desire to own a house is just due to a desire to "own" something, or if there is a benefit to gameplay.

Please don't attack me - just curious. Thanks!

IMO most event reward SE give to us is housing item and that's pointless for people who don't own house. Also each new housing item per patch have so many interactive design that makes people jealous and urge to own house.

My FC was in the closed beta and we were torn between two of the RP servers chosen by the RP community: Balmung and Gilgamesh. Since most of us did not play 1.0 and we wanted to be with players new to the game as well, we chose Gilgamesh over Balmung at launch. it's not our fault so many people have since moved or play at Gilgamesh. I'm grateful our FC has a house and I can at least decorate my room in our FC.

No rage here! Mateus, being one of the lowest if not the lowest pop server, has tons of houses on sale with plenty of empty plots. If you want a house our door is open. :P

My FC was in the alpha and we pretty much had to wait till the 2nd coming of the FC houses to be able to buy a house. And not even a large one at that.
But thats not SE's fault >.> thats just how it is.
minus the resellers of course. those are bad....
