I challenge you think hard about your housing qualms with SE

[Yolteotl]

The thing that gets me is how pathetic the whole logic of their excuses are (well actually there are a myriad of things that are illogical in this development team's ideas of preserving the game)

Dev team implements features as a gil sink because they feel too much gil is in circulation.

Too much gil is considered to be in circulation because SAME Dev team implemented features in the game deliberately to where gil isn't hard to accumulate and then try to use that as bait to defend themselves against claims of designing content in line of predatory 1% pampering.

And the cop-out of 2.4 'doubling' housing space... So that massive double could potentially allow for 2% of the server population to have a personal house if NO FC houses are on the server at all... Lolmath not a strong-suit?

Is there a place to store extra inventory in a personal house?

Housing is too expensive[/b]
But, is it?

Short answer, it is. Longer answer it is and availability isn't enough. My complaints came from when housing stopped being a vanity thing when function was added to them and said functions are things that should really be open to everyone at their own discretion AND more functions are on the way. THAT's what people are after and its reason enough at least on Balmung and searching the wards and seeing people that are in established FC's with houses mind you buying solo plots. Maybe its not the solo reason but players do want access to functions without being told they have to wait or stand in line. Its not being lazy or wanting everything now and handed to you, its not even any work. Its being told you have to wait five months to grow a berry to simply dye your chocobo is whats stupid.

I'm sorry but if they can add a system where a small FC house can have 520 private rooms then they can have a system of instanced single player housing with gardening, chocobo raising and whatever else may come function wise in the future.

I have nothing to say to these people that "Don't want a small house" to stop being greedy. I'm not sure what makes these people think they need a house fit for a 100 person FC for a PERSONAL HOME. Also, its a want not a need for things you want you should be expected to do extra and put in extra work trying to make the gil. If someone had a small house in real life and WANTED a big house i feel like they would put hard work into it to actually get one. I don't think them complaining about wanting a big house in public would help them get one any faster.

I don't think anyone wanted to compete with FCs for space.

Without though I feel like it would seem quite barren. I know we have a spot right by a market board and there's usually about 20 or so people hanging out there crafting, running around watering plants, shouting for parties, yelling at each other because the ward because people know eachother in it. I feel like if you're limited to just single players none of this actual community would exist which I think is really enjoyable.

No. the housing features are as follows: Gardening, vendors, a mender, crafting tables to help with low level synthesis, easily accessible moogle mail and a basement where we can eventually build airships.

How do you know there never will be enough? they are doubling the number in 2.4 [...]

Even so, that hardly accounts for 1% of the player base. And that's assuming Free Companies never buy any ever again.
They need to add a lot more, and the current rate of addition isn't enough.

[Souljacker]

I'm beginning to just hate what this game is turning into. It's an economy mmo. Us versus RMT, us versus each other, us versus FC's.

The housing not only devalues the achievement FC's have made, but it's ruined the immersion for the "adventurer" that is here to "Save the realm".

The leas the "realm" can do is give us a basic personal space that isn't tied to a FC, that we can decorate and perform small-scale things on. A flowerpot or two. A window outside to a small stable for the choco.

Why does even fluff content have to a freaking monument to oneself in this game? It's absurd.

Who decided this was fluff content that belongs to the mass? Maybe this is end game for crafters and gathers? Oh and hop off the RMT soapbox. Making money this game is so easy, RMT is just a sad joke.

It is not crafting endgame! many of the recipes start at low levels and require common obtainable items for that level! Only the advanced post 50 items require endgame crafting and difficult to get items, and that's expected because they are endgame recipes, not because they are housing items in and of themselves!
