The housing situation cannot continue like this. People are outraged.

Four weeks. Fifty hours. I spent fifty hours in the game and grinded gil past the point of exhaustion so that I have enough gil to buy a medium house for my free company.

I stayed up for hours, pushing myself to fatigue so I have a shot at getting a house.

Then, when the servers open, I was immediately greeted with multiple server errors and by the time I logged in I was able to at least grab a small cottage.

But now, fifty hours of my time making gil were wasted. I spent fifty hours for nothing. In any other video game, this would never happen. You always get rewarded for grinding so much.

But in this game, depression, desperation, dejectedness greet you all because of one thing: housing.

I was one of the lucky ones: I at least got some housing. I'm still disappointed, as are the members in my free company but at least we got something.

What about the people who got nothing? What will they do now?

Is this really a fair system? You're pushing people to fatigue and desperation because of this housing system. We are all outraged.

You could have spent that time learning your job, since I know you've mentioned not having even 20 hours a week to do so ;D

Why is this guy still being allowed to create threads? They're pretty much all complete nonsense and BS.

Nice try at the bait.

First of all you're coming in a bit late with this, the new wards have been around for a while now. You are super active in the forums. Why is this angering you only now? Perhaps because this post is another one of your works of fiction.

Secondly first time buyers are happy they even get a house, and they would not say they got nothing if they got a house even if it's a cottage. Again leading me to think this post is a work of fiction.

This is yet another example of you posing as someone standing up for what you perceive to be a disadvantaged group in the hope to spark heated debates. That is all you ever post. What's next? Going to post how it's unfair that raiders get access to more glam gear as a result of completing more content?

Because people are still outraged even now.

Oh? Are you saying housing is perfectly fine as is and everyone got a house?

Yea this doesn't answer why you said you got nothing when you got a house. You're usually really good at trolling but this time you have clearly treaded into unfamiliar waters and it really shows.

I'm one of the most active players on the housing section of these forums and have been for years. I have seen countless posts from people exasperated with the housing system and incredibly relieved when they finally got a house. You are literally the first person I have seen who claims to have gotten nothing when they got something.

You messed up this time. Well it was only a matter of time before you did considering the incredible rate at which you make these sort of threads. Sooner or later you were going to stumble onto a topic that you lack enough knowledge in to be able to adequately pose as a victim. A role you clearly love.

Pay attention. Our FC has been saving up for a medium, not a small. And we couldn't get a medium and had to get a small, meaning I wasted hours upon hours making 18M gil.

This thread can only get worse if the player who owns an entire ward shows up to brag...

I mean...he's getting exactly what he wants with y'all getting upset and coming here criticizing him. He knows exactly what he's doing.

It's never going to end. Lol.

"A cottage is, typically, a small house. It may carry the connotation of being an old or old-fashioned building. In modern usage, a cottage is usually a modest, often cosy dwelling, typically in a rural or semi-rural location."

And this is going to be the last thing I say to you about this. Enjoy your fail thread.

In the game, cottage, house, and mansion are three different things. Why do I know this? Because I know significantly more about this topic than you do. Your attempts at trolling isn't going to work.

Thank you for this post. I was one of the lucky ones that got a house as well but when I read the complaints in the housing forum, I always dismissed it as people who just wanted to whine. But you were able to present this situation in a way in which I can see the other perspective so this was very eye opening for me. Thank you for bring this issue to the fore front and I hope with increased visibility we can work toward a solution to this housing crisis.

Why people can't be nice to others... It's always about taking the other down and not respect each other. It's so childish. It's like no one is allowed to have an opinion and i agree that the housing is not fair and i'll probably get down for having an opinion too. Lol

I don't have a house too and i'll never get one while the housing is this way because i care about my sanity and health and want to stay away. I wish SE could think of a better solution thsn only wards band-aids.

Incorrect: you still have your gil, and thus the reward.

When the next ward extension drops, you can move/convert your plot w/o additional grinding if you hold on to the cash. That's how I got my medium house.

Yeah it sucks that there are server errors when such a patch drops but that's the nature of the beast when everyone and their grandma tries to log in and snatch a house.

I commented this as a tie-in to another thread from the same OP where he claimed that it would take 20 hours a week for him to learn his job.

I don't expect you to know everything that everyone has posted but like a reasonably small amount of research would have clued you into what I was referencing here... and instead you decide to be cringe af and insult me?

You wind up seeming like the questionable one here, not me.
