Most of the other students in my Human Services class hated the poor... I swear that the word "entitlements" gets thrown around so much that people have forgotten what it means. When you're entitled to something, you deserve it. In a bitterly ironic twist, the word now means the exact opposite, getting or wanting something you haven't worked for and don't deserve. It is one of a plethora of sentiments used to trivialize another person's feelings like telling someone they hold a minority view or that they're just being too sensitive.

When it comes to FFXIV housing specifically, housing was a big selling point of 2.1, but now we find out that very few players will get to experience this content in the near future and it's as though some sort of trickery was used on us. While the content is technically in 2.1, most of us won't get to experience it until 2.2 or even later. Whether one is happy or disappointed by housing costs all depends on personal opinion but that this is yet another fail on SE's part seems much more indisputable. Game and patch releases should be met with excitement not disappointment.

For the most part, I am happy with 2.1 overall, but the feelings that I and many other players have over housing are not the kind of feelings you should seek to generate if you want people to continue playing your game. Call us "entitled" if you want but that won't do anything to fix the problem and if we quit, who will you have to lord your mansions over?

Gear should be worked for, gear is a reward. Housing is not JUST a reward, it is also content, a mini-game that most players can't play. It is probably useless as this point to offer this as a suggestion but all FCs should be able to have a shack for very little work (and therefore have access to the mini-game that is part of the bigger game that they are paying to play) and the work should go into building a bigger house and decorating it, not having it in the first place.
