Firmament Builders Housing Priority

Hello everyone.

Since we are talking about what is fair and what is not, instead of further arguing between lottery and FCFS it would be right that those who REALLY helped rebuild the residential area get priority when it comes to getting (upgrading) a (their) house in Empyreum.

Many argue that the lottery is fair and gives everyone the opportunity to obtain a house, but it was the Saints and Beatus/Beata of the Firmament who reconstructed what you are discussing today.

It doesn't seem more unfair to me than having to depend on the rng and compete for a large plot upgrade against someone who doesn't even have a house.

That's all. Ty for reading.

The various Saints and Beatii built The Firmament. While you were all wasting your time doing that, Francel single-handedly built all 24 wards of Empyreum by himself. Only he should have priority access to them, and he chose not to purchase all the Large 30s out of the goodness of his heart.

LMAO! This gave me a genuine chuckle, thank you.

I'm a first round Saint and even I don't think we should get preferential treatment lol!

Being a Saint on my main, this made me laugh. But, doubtful SE would do this.

You really should start this thread on April first, OP

No, we didn't. We constructed the Firmament, not Empyreum.

We were told upfront that participation in the leaderboards was solely for bragging rights and the title, nothing else. SE isn't going to change the reward after the fact.

Ah yes. The timeless classic.

“System is fair = System benefits me and gives me an advantage over other players”

Considering how many bots were present that made these titles and contributions - your idea is completely flawed and not to mention - <insert response given by Jojoya>.

So yet again by that logic, the bots will win more housing plots to sell on whatever black-market deals are going on while the players still suffer an insufferable housing setup that still makes no sense and does nothing to help the game and players.

I see the OP's point. I have millions of skybuilder points put into the Firmament. While I think a house would be a nice reward, instead I earned hundreds of thousands of scrips. I should have a t-shirt that says "I built the Firmament and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and Ufiti Horn."

Do you think SE would've let a single server not hit the quota of restoring ishgard? All servers were bound to have this happen, if no one did anything they would've just moved some numbers and said "all managed yay" anyway.

It was a contest of stamina, spare time and bots and if you managed, you got a title. That's your reward, you did not rebuild ishgard you just joined a race.

I dunno, the devs seem to think rankers constructed the Empyreum.

Thanks to tireless volunteers from near and far, Ishgard's once-ruined Firmament now boasts a host of facilities─including a brand-new residential area, Empyreum!

---

You know what? I'm all for it!

Nah, that's just whomever wrote the news topic. Try reading the quest that unlocks access to Empyreum.

You see, after you helped bring an end to the Dragonsong War, we have striven to rebuild the city.

And thanks to the assistance of countless craftsmen, our efforts to restore the Firmament to its former glory are finally complete!

In fact, House Dzemael assembled a team of masons so skilled and efficient that they were able to finish the construction of an entirely new quarter!

Its name is “Empyreum,” and it was created to serve as a residential district for adventurers from across the realm.

The event had it's own rewards which were already distributed.

Limiting housing for players who just started playing based on an event they can no longer access isn't fair.
