Speak with your wallet if your upset about the housing situation unsubscribe

Seriously hit the unsub button speak with your wallet. I do agree they need to make instanced housing. There is no reason why one man in the goblet owns an entire ward with his alts. Or one FC in the Mist owns an entire role play ghost town where there is a bank, grocery store and it’s all empty so one person can roleplay

Yes that sucks, should have been address a long time ago. How ever it hasn't and never will. Later man, you will probably come back cause if you been playing since 2013 and never got a house, you probably didn't care that much about it to begin with.

People are mad about housing, but housing is not the only thing this game has. So yeah, most people will keep being mad, but still keep being subbed cuz they do raid/pvp/RP/whatever.


And yeah, agree that instanced housing should be expanded further instead of adding more housing areas. The core of the current housing system is rotten. Only a completely overhaul that focus on instanced housing will save players from frustration.


The neighborhood housing is a weird hill that SE is adamant to die on.

A reason for your…tantrum tap feet hard on the ground because something didn’t work your way?

I swear, what is it with some people just crying about things not working their way…

Process is called maturing, accept it & move on.

Yep, I've cancelled mine. After checking the lottery and seeing that I lost, I logged off for a bit to collect my thoughts. I'm not mad that I lost. Disappointed? Of course. But I was also expecting to lose, and the blow was heavily softened by me already having a house anyway. But after seeing how it was apparently bugged and seeing how they've been handling a lot of other things lately, I have decided to bow out for now. My subscription expires next month. I still have things to do, and I'd rather not waste what time I've got left on my current subscription, but I am a man of my word. If I say I'm going to unsubscribe I am going to. This isn't me trying to bluff them and hoping they don't call it. I am just...disappointed in the dev team I once held to a higher standard. This isn't just about housing for me, but I do consider the housing situation as the thing that pushed me over the edge.

Pretty much, yeah. Feel free to make intelligent, respectful criticism but if you've felt that the developers are openly lying to you, are completely incompetent, or that the game has been terrible for years now, then you would be better off just leaving. You'd be happier not obsessing over something you don't enjoy and, frankly, that's the only way to truly send the message you feel needs to be sent. You can debate, or criticize, or whine, or rage until the cows come home but as long as you're lining SE's wallet, what reason do they really have to listen to you? And how deeply held are your convictions if you're willing to complain for years but still open your wallet every time the company asks you to?

SE doesn't care about you. They make a video game and you choose to pay or not pay for that video game so, if the game and/or developers are that terrible, then don't keep paying for it.

when has voting with your wallet ever worked?
botters and rmters do more damage to the bottom line of sqex than people who just unsub

Can't unpay the current sub

I was thinking he looked like johnny cage from mortal combat and wesker from resident evil

But as far as people being upset- everyone has their limit. When it feels like their subscription money isn't being put to good use, it's 100% valid w/e reason they choose to quit - the players that own entire wards only took advantage of a system the XIV team fell short-sighted on for years. No point in throwing money at a game that you don't feel listens to it's community- and I'm just reading the room

Sorry to hear that - I've always enjoyed reading your posts. You've often been a voice of reason in some crazy threads. But I get it.

As for everyone that got hit with this housing nonsense, I'm just sorry you all got caught up in it. I had several friends who lost their bid, but it was to actual other players. But this lottery is utterly broken and there is no excuse for it. How does the coding get this fubar'd and no one did a thorough QR of it??? This is just stupid. They need to implement real instanced housing option where people can choose and pay for the size house they want and have an instanced yard or something too. Everyone who wants a house should be able to get one.

I agree if people are really disliking the game as a whole and the situation as it stands unsubbing is the most easy way to express your disapproval to the devs along with feedback on why on the forum. As for me, I never let my sub drop for long since I bought my first large house 2 years ago. I do stop paying for the extra retainers when I take a longer break though. The irony of my keeping a sub up for the house and it still works out cheaper than a lot of other online games.

Having had my private large for 2 years also just made me realise how much an empty large is like finding a unicorn. Who knows how many players are like me sitting on their property for literal years.

That’s impossible, can’t conjure on a thought to whatever message you’re otherwise hesistant to express,

PS: …what?

Completely agree with OP. Sadly I didn't win my bid so I remain homeless. And that's unfortunate that an entire feature of the game remains inaccessible to players that pay a sub while others that pay a sub get to indulge. One of the main things in leaving WoW after getting fed up with all the nonsense coming from Blizz and coming to FF14 that I was looking forward to was finally getting to mess around in player housing in an otherwise loved MMO. Thing is, I don't have the brand loyalty to FF14 that I had to WoW so I'm not willing to be subjected to the the same level of nonsense from SE as I was from Blizz (and even Blizz finally pushed me past my breaking point). Add to this the Hrothgar debacle and I'm starting to think maybe FF14 really isn't for me which is a shame since I've enjoyed the game since starting it almost a year ago. I'm going to take a few days away from the game and decide if I want to keep on this FF14 journey or not in light of some of the decisions the devs have made recently. Anyone unhappy with recent events I'd recommend doing the same.

Op does not seem to be the only one voting with their wallet. It may just be my perception of things but ever since EW launched I have literally seen half the amount of people on, and it isn't just the lack of afkers in limsa. Every day I am 14 in queue sometimes 43 on the weekend. Sure many are enjoying pvp as well so the wolves den is really hopping, but I am feeling many people already dipped when EW queue savage happened and refused to trust another company that is showing similar signs to past time investment to many players. I may also be leaving if I honestly do not get the house I waited, paid, and won, but lost to imaginary number 0. I will not wait longer, bend over, put my name in again, and wait until something else messes up. Daddy square has to take me out to dinner first before the next pounding, because right now I am paying to constantly be in an abusive relationship with a billion dollar corporation.
