The issue is how us homeless plebs will have to take whatever grade 5 small house is left since old owners relocated to the better spots without hassle :o That's not fair competition for personal housing. FC people getting free pass is great though.

How are you more qualified to judge what the servers can and cant do than the actual people working with them?
I get that it might work on other games, but they were probably set up differently - I dont know to much about the technic-issues here, which actually leaves me little choice but to trust the devs. If you're saying "No, they're wrong on that!" you're basically saying they're lying - and I dont see why they should?
They tried something with the housing system, they had an idea in mind - and clearly that didnt work out aus they wanted to. Maybe one could have foreseen that, maybe one should have, but one didnt (honestly, sometimes I wonder if the japanes playerbase is as bad as the EU/NA one when it comes to this issue - or if it worked out for them...). Now we're stuck with this system that they're working on - slowly, but steadly.
Dont you believe the devs would like to have a better solution aswell?
Because if you do believe that you'd also have to believe that they just dont have the ressources for that - its not only time invested in that, if I recall correctly they also had issues with not having enough staff-members to begin with a while back.
And if you dont believe that... what do you believe then? That the devs created this shortage of housing for their own amusment? That Yoshi-P sat in his office at 4.1 release, with streams of different housing areas on the walls, giggeling over people trying to snatch houses?
The housing system is far from ideal, granted - but the solution isnt "Just open more wards!"
Because they cant. What might work elsewhere obviously doesnt work here.
...unless ofc the devs actually do want nothing but an angry playerbase, bad press and the housing-shortage. I doubt that. And thats why I dont doubt that "just opening more wards" doesnt work with their servers.
Cry me a river.
FCs needed priority in purchasing because 90% of the Shirogane plots went to individuals.
I don't think you can refute this.
Individual housing was a mistake to begin with.
They could've done way better with appartments while leaving houses for FCs. All of that drama would've never happened.
I owned a medium house as private individual and i moved to a small one.
I like small house. I dont need more space with one guy. Anyways hue hue my small house looks awesome
