Why isn't housing priced higher? (why is housing random luck)

[Stormrider]

To be fair though, there's always someone willing to sell their plot for the right price. One could argue that you (and your FC) could put in some of that hard work, time and effort to get yourselves a plot. Yeah you'll be paying extra, but that doesn't mean to say it's a feature that is unavailable to you. It's not completely fair on the buyer, but at the same time it's also not fair to say that you're being completely excluded from housing. Put in the work, get those millions, and start looking for people willing to sell.

How is working around the system not being excluded? The simple point is they have designed a system that does not allow everyone the SAME CHANCE to experience content.

It is pretty obvious that the person everyone is quoting just wants the ability to experience the same content. They are not asking for moogles to bring them gil or a house. Paying a second party to relinquish a house is not the same content. Unless SE steps up and says we don't want everyone to have houses fend for yourselves. But basically they mostly ignore all housing issues.

On a separate note what is with the defending of the system. It is a fail system, that they have doubled down on. Some servers have had houses available for a whole 2 mins in the last 18 months. They also can't seem to differentiate between a full server and a wasteland server. If Balmung and Gilgamesh are sold out in less then 5 mins it will mean there have been houses available for a total of 7 mins in almost 2 years.

Thank you for being the only one after all those post to understand what i'm trying to explain

No one was actually saying that the current system is good. I'm sure all of us agree it's terrible. However we were simply stating that in this current situation, rather than playing victim just save up extra gil and go for what you want. My point wasn't that it's fair, because it's not, but there are still means of getting housing, even if it does require more effort than clicking a placard.

It would be great for SE to completely redo the housing system and make it available for everyone, but if we're being real here that is not coming any time soon. So work with what we have right now. It's not impossible to find housing, even now there are a lot of people selling plots.
