The state of the housing wards are a reflection of the player priorities.

Housing in FFXIV isn't a snack, it's a long-term investment of time, gil, and creativity.

Is that investment worth 14.99 every 45 to keep?

I know what my answer is. How about you?

Is that investment worth fifteen dollars a month to you?

But for your analogy, the steak was served.It was just smaller than you wanted to be. The bigger steaks are there. But youre gonna need to get on your jogging gear and go chase it down.

These guys are game developers.These guys jobs are to put obstacles in front of us. Housing is offered, but for a plot, youre gonna have to overcome some obstacles, like Lady luck. Once you overcome overcome lady luck. Your reward? A plot you now have to keep a subscription active occasionally to keep.

Man, here I've got two steaks.

And you wonder why this subject is met with absolute silence for the last decade. There is absolutely nothing good from addressing this topic with a 10 foot pole.

I'm explaining how the system has been presented to me. And you think that's a confession? Brother they de-fanged most of your arguments since apts are considered housing. Once the implemented apts that was your low hanging fruit for housing.

Once you've got that, your "lack of housing argument" lost its validity. Anything that you can't answer. You simply won't answer. What is "housing" defined as? And if apartments meet that criteria. And your server has housing unit available that fall under that "housing" umbrella.

Is there really a lack of housing then?

And if you have that baseline of housing. Then why wouldnt they put the bigger harder to get plots as a carrot on a stick? Youre not locked out housing for not having a plot anymore.

You think i'm defending them? I don't have to. you're paying them to be here regardless of my opinion.Youre running defense for the company youre trying to criticize indirectly by trying to backhand insult me. Your wallet is running more defense then what I say ever could.

You absolutely have the right to make requests, but you should avoid the mindset that “the customer is always right.”
That mindset often ignores practicality and oversimplifies business relationships.
The customer’s voice is important, but it’s not always correct.
You’re free to express your perspective, but since this is a public forum, you will also encounter opposing viewpoints.
If you are only seeking agreement and validation, this is not the right place.
Just as the forum GM allows you to provide negative feedback, you also don’t have the right to discredit or dismiss the narratives of those who disagree with you.
That’s what freedom of speech entails—open exchange of differing opinions.

what freedom of speech? LOL this place has rules and curation you're right people can disagree with eachother but Solowing wants everyone to deal with an objectively awful housing system when it could vastly be improved by leaps and bounds but for some odd reason SE can't get it together or thru their heads people don't like this crap system they shoved down our throats we didn't get a choice SE decided for us what we will get an what we won't.
tell mer why is it that decade old games with even older crapier coding can give players all houses??? why do free to play or gacha games of the modern age give their players better housing FOR FREE???? come on now man xD just say you like being c**k held by the company least then we'd know your an honest simp lmao
