Petition for more wards / instanced housing

[Tarnehorst]

/signed

None of the advertising for FF XIV includes disclaimers connected to the player housing such as 'while supplies last' or 'for the first X-many characters (NOT players) only'. Relatively new player, only arrived a little after SB launched, but have to say disappointed is putting it mildly.

I want to say I don't think everyone should get a free house (that is what the apartments are for). Much like the relic weapon if you want a house you should have to work for it in the way of making Gil. If you have the Gil, you should be able to get the house. The more Gil you have, the better house you should be able to buy (this way, those that make the most money still feel like they have something others do not).

Apartments aren't free. They cost a little more than half of the cost of a small house for a room smaller than some of the inn rooms, no yard, and no access to some content gated through housing.

You are right, apartments are not free but cost only 500,000 Gil which is still relatively cheap to the minimum price for a small house of 1,488,000. Again, if someone has the Gil, I agree that they should be able to get a house. If they don't have the Gil, they shouldn't be able to get a house.

I don't really understand why housing is treated like an privilege in the first place.
Everyone who wants a house should be able to get one, without being effected by serveruptime, queue to get in and crashes upon server going live.
Having like 2000 houses for 15000 players like e.g. on Odin is absurd.
What makes other people "better" than others? The fact that they had no isses loging in? Great job.

There is many people who are upset. Everyone is paying their sub so everyone should be treated equally.
Everyone who wants a house and got the money should get one. That's all there is to say. Everything else is beyond stupid.

The whole ordeal was an absolute joke. I had my heart set on getting my FC a bigger house and we all logged in at he same time. Only 3 of us were able to log in w/o constantly getting booted back to the main screen. Why should housing be a rat race, oh wait, it’s not a race when not everyone can do it at the same time. Took me 15mins to log in and when I got to an ‘empty plot’ it was locked due to someone getting there minutes before I was able to get there. Nice job, SE. Another year, another load of awful house buying.

and therein lies the problem, a lot of the players writing this Do have the gil and still have it because they got cockblocked by the login queue. I'm on Balmung, and housing properties here (including apartments) never opens up once they've been bought. Not only is the system itself a disaster, but players who have a right to spend their hard earned gil on a house of whatever size they want... can't, because home demolishment doesn't seem to work.

They need to do something i dont care what it is, but they need to find a way to make it where everyone can get a house.

And I agree with you. I said that if the player has the Gil they should be able to get a house. They shouldn't be limited for the reasons you stated.

That's where the whole "you guys are entitled" idiocy is coming from. What they aren't understanding is that we do have the gil. There's a mountain of it in my FC coffers. I still can't buy a plot because there aren't plots to be bought.
