    The way I see in this system to defend is very slim and it shows no justification in people hogging houses and selling it for ridiculous prices. If people don't want to use that house, then just let people have who really want it.

    If you want to sell it only for resale price to have it back, i'll understand. But to sell it for 200-500m on a large, then 30-50 for small and 80-150m for medium is like definitely showing the way of people being more greedier than it needs to. That's why housing system in this cannot be defended whatsoever.

    Just because they don't use it doesn't mean they don't want it. And maybe they are using it, just differently than most would. There are tons of ppl using houses that people think aren't getting used. JB there isn't 10 trees and ponds in the yard doesn't mean they aren't using it. If the people " who really wanted " houses wanted them as bad as you thiunk, they'd have one.

    Unless you are one of those people who just sympathizes others for selling houses with expensive prices.

    He already told us that he got his two houses with "hard" work by having his friends sell them to him (or give them up for him). So somehow since he could get them that way its somehow easy enough for everyone else to get it if they want it even though this is simply impossible because even if only those that want a house buy one you will still have that limit.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Wanting and deserving are 2 different things. Just wishing for them and wanting one given one to you doesn't entitle a player to have one. Is is that hard to accept that some of this stuff isn't going to be easily obtained? And yes I did work " hard ". I farmed gil for 4-5 hours a day for months. And yes I did buy from friends. One upgraded his small FC in Goblet, and the other transferred Servers, and I had obtained my first FC through camping auto demos.Why should everyone deserve a house? It's a luxury in this game, shouldn't it be earned? I know plenty of people on every server upgrading, and gil can be farmed by the millions quickly, so yea if you don't have a house, you'e not trying hard enough, and I stand by that, while you guys hide behind the housing problem for your woes. " Don't hate the player, hate the game." comes to mind with housing. There are tons of smalls every day being sold on every server for a few million, which isn't a flip. Most just want their money back, so yes while youre paying " double the SE fee " No one is making money. If you're constantly looking and asking around and stay in the " housing pipeline ", you can find one quickly, so yes to answer you, if it's that easy for me, it should be that easy for anyone else. I am not special in any way, shape or form in regards to how I obtained my houses.

    While I wouldn't call it sympathy for flippers, their existence beats the alternative - only people who play the 4am Tuesday login lottery having houses.

    That is completely false. The auto demos are not active, and when they are, they auto demo every hour on the hour. Not once a week.

    I was referring to the release of new wards, which happen with major patches, and involve a race to login at 4am on a Tuesday.

    Ahhh gotcha, I kind of thought that afterwards, it just wasn't clear. Sorry. I agree with the "lottery of Shirogane". What I disagree with, and others have said this, not you, is some people thought they were at disadvantage, when everyone had issues with logins and all were suceptable ( spelling?) to same errors/process.

    What? Have you not been paying attention? Thats exactly the problem. People want them but since they are finite they can't get them. Otherwise you are saying there is 100% enough houses to go around for people "who really wanted" them which isn't the case. FYI people can "really want them" without having the means to pay for them from a house flipper or checking the districts every hour, on the hour for most of the day. That's like saying if people really didn't want to have cancer they would just find a cure. These replies continue to show how far removed you are from the reality of the situation and your complete lack of ability to utilize empathy.
