Allot of people seemed to of missed this:

They withheld this info until the night before because they were too afraid to release such an important and embarrassing statement ahead of time, they don't get any sympathy from me over the rage threads.

I could not AGREE MORE with this statement. The fact that people can still defend SE after what seems like a huge betrayal to their fan base just baffles my mind. Add to that the fact that Yoshida made this ridiculous statement: "Some of you may be thinking it would have been better to simply wait until the release of Patch 2.4 instead of adding just a couple of housing wards, but please understand that we would like to do our utmost to ensure that new land is opened up as soon as possible, even if that means adding only a small number.", just shows how out of touch with FFXIV's fanbase he really is as well as seems quite unprofessional. Almost every thread raging about this topic has posts from players stating that they would have much preferred that SE wait until they could implement a PROPER housing system that all could enjoy at one time, rather than this piddly sh*t of two wards per server now, and more later.
