Instanced Housing Seperate from Wards

[HyoMinPark]

You've been here for over three years, it seems. You've not had an opportunity at a house yet?

Because I've been here three months and I beat the rush on Mateus to get my Shirogane house. I don't understand how a player with 1/12th of the experience got what you can't seem to get.

Because this housing system is based on luck. Are you lucky enough to beat the 1,000 player queue the day housing is released? Are you lucky to load in fast enough/sprint fast enough to the plot you want? Are you lucky enough to have the day off of school/work the morning new housing goes live?

When Shirogane released, a bunch of players got hit with 5606 and 2002 lobby errors, and then were thrown into a 1,000+ player queue. Considering there were only 720 new houses added per server, they had no chance of getting a house at that point. It has nothing to do with time played. I've played 2 years, and I was hit with 2 lobby server errors trying to log in, and stuck in a 1,600 player queue. Another friend of mine has been playing for 3 years; same thing. Another one since ARR launch, and was lucky to be number 235 in queue.

In XIV, experience and time played means nothing when getting a house.
