Hurray! Finally saved up 6mil for my personal house!

For me, money was NEVER the issue, availability was.

Yes, yes it was. You did not have the gil to purchase the house when it came out. So, money WAS the issue.

On Balmung they once sold out within 15 minutes of being added. Money was not the issue. Availability was. You're making assumptions.

I think this is only true when the first personal housing came out. But when the subdivisions came out, it took a long time before all the plots were taken.
If you still weren't able to get a good plot when the subdivisions were added, you will have the same problem every time new plots were added and you'll still be homeless.

It was true when subdivisions were released as well. I don't know about 15 mins, but I know when I came home from work ~4hours later the smalls were all gone.

Since you're on Mateus I don't expect you to know what happened on Balmung, but please check your assumptions at the door. Even when subdivisions were added I heard from multiple people the smalls were gone before I got home from work. It's an availability issue, and anyone who doesn't expect to have this problem every time new housing is added is fooling themselves.

You should've expected this on a populated server. You know, that more people are playing.

Shouldn't they dedicate more server resources to Balmung then? Give us more housing wards etc. You know, since more people are playing.

Regardless, under the current system, supply will never reach demand. If you're not at your computer when the maintenance finishes, you don't get a house.

Again, housing is not supposed to be hardcore content, I've seen people camp Fafnir/Nidhogg with less tension.

Such an unfair advantage. That's why people go to popular servers. You think you're special and you should get more privileges.
While those hicks in less popular servers wont get any.

The thread title specifically says that they just saved up the 6mil, though.

Gil was definitely an issue for them.

No more small house, my neighbourhood is empty. Full of small house, nobody buy the medium house in front of me and the large house at one side near my large one :/

I see people around my FC house pretty frequently. My personal house too. I usually sit down at the market board and craft; there's several people that do the same thing. Sometimes we sit and talk. ^^

Seems you missed the point. Having the money was irrelevant since there wasn't even a house available. You can have caped gil and it doesn't mean anything if you aren't online the moment the servers come up after new housing is added. Seeing as the OP was on Balmung, and I specifically was commenting on the state of housing on Balmung, the user if they had done their research would have known well ahead of time that the only way to get a house would be to prepare themselves for the next wave of additional housing. Chances are they were saving this money up for weeks and the whole time there was never even 1 plot available to them.

Also, since you want to go back to what the OP posted. He also said this.

For me, money was NEVER the issue, availability was.

So what was it about the money again?

I believe you confused my comment to you as a complaint. It wasn't. I was just pointing out that you were incorrect in your assumption about the state of housing especially as it pertains to Balmung. I'm well aware that I'll never have personal housing until something about the system is changed and have zero hopes or aspirations to have one because of it. Until that time they change the system to make it more available I'm hoping for improved guild house personal rooms.

Those assumptions.
