You quit the game because of housing?

I am sorry, but this is pathetic. How can people like this exist? It's optional content for anyone and is not needed, but wanted.

Not everyone enjoys the horrid small platform raiding every time they log in. Crafting/gathering/deco are nice ways to relax. I raid when I have to only to get the gear and tomes I need (I have all 340 gear) . If I could get exactly the same w/o raids, I wouldn't touch one ever again here but take my house away and I am gone with the wind.

All content is optional content, it's a game.

I am aware of that, but quitting over something like that after playing over +800 days according to the person who created this thread is just silly.

Silly to you but we are not all the same. What a boring world that would be if we were. People have different viewpoints in what they want from a game and there are others equal and better out there that have all the goodies. I played WoW from vanilla (launch) for 8.5 yrs straight (God I miss those vanilla 40-person raids!) and when they screwed up my Dru healer, I quit *boom* and moved on. I have a huge wow acct still sitting there.

Well everyone has their goals in the game. My number 1 goal for a long time was to get my own house. With a lot of hard work and some luck I got it. When I didn't have a house I honestly felt hopeless at times. Never enough to quit but I'll admit it made me miserable sometimes. Maybe this makes me pathetic too but it's how I felt.

To be fair, the OP attempted to bribe his way into getting a house. That's why people are less sympathetic. I have plenty of friends on Balmung who we spamming my discord with "omg Balmung still has houses!!!!" Even mediums were taking a bit to sell, albeit not Shirogane. If the OP were willing to transfer, they could have done so earlier and had their pick of houses since tons were available hours after the update.

Well I was more referring to the fact that some people place great value in housing to the point that it can affect their happiness in the rest of the game. That said I do wonder about those who heavily imply housing is their priority but remain on a highly populated server where their chances of getting one are immeasurably small. They're not exactly helping their own situation by staying there.

I wanna apologize if I offended you with my response to the thread. We all have goals, may it be having all classes at 70, becoming gil-capped or as you said; Owning a house. I myself also have the goal of owning a house, but that won't mean that I'd just quit the game because I did not get one. It does feel horrible, I can understand that but don't let that get to you. Quitting because of that would be a waste of your own time, money and dedication that you could've put into something more valuable.

No need for apologies. I didn't take personal offense.

While I understand how someone can feel very unhappy for not having a house, I agree quitting because of it would raise some eyebrows including my own. I enjoy several aspects of the game, and I would still be playing if I had no access to housing. But I admit my enjoyment would be much less colourful if my personal goal was unattainable through no fault of my own. It certainly felt that way for a while.

I do respect other people's viewpoints, but please listen to what I say right now: When I bought FFXIV, the first things in my mind were the fights, dungeons and raids I will be doing with others or just becoming social with other players. But having a house? While there is content locked behind FC housing, it's not the first thing I'd expect from a Final Fantasy game.
