Housing restrictions not fair for individuals.

Housing should have been instance to begin with...

Not every person plays this game (or any MMO) just to raid and get BIS gear...everyone plays their game their way..and for many it is player housing. You don't need to understand it, but you should respect it.

In my situation, I would be thankful to have any plot of any size, but I cannot.

I'm sorry, but I just can't. Mainly because this is an MMORPG, not MMOH. If you're playing purely for housing, then something is wrong. Might wanna start asking for a MMO Sims.

Edit: I'm not saying you should be wanting to raid or get BiS gear, I'm just saying you should be playing for the gameplay and social aspects, with housing as an extra. Not the other way around.

While paying a subscription doesn't entitle you to get a house (when there is more players than houses not everyody can get one anyway) it shall at least entitle you with a fair chance to get one.

Also the plot I want is a small. I don't want any large or medium.

If wards were empty than I see no problem with opening housing to individuals. If an individual could afford a home at the old rates, which many could. I don’t see why they shouldn’t be allowed to buy one. The issue to me it seems was lowering the prices. That ha obviously made housing available to more people than SE intended on having houses when they thought this all up. They just need to improve apartments and add gardening. You could garden in your instanced home in FF XI.

He... was just giving a random time, not something that's confirmed. Judging from the previous lot, 6 months sounds about right, but they're giving the housing team a bit more focus lately so it could be sooner next time.

You're right! In many circumstances, it can take much longer than that to get a plot.

Isn't housing part of the gameplay? It may not be endgame raiding, but it is still in-game content. People pay their subscription fees to play the game how they see fit, not how you feel they should play. It's optional content just like raiding, PVP or working the marketplace. Again, you don't have to understand it (which is very apparent), but you should respect players wanting to play their game the way they want too.

Also, if you read through these forums, housing is still a very social aspect of this game.

The funny thing is: You only playing to decorate your house and tend your crops doesn't affect his or her way to play the game.

I have to admit, as someone else from Balmung, I really can't imagine how you don't see how housing is an integral and important part of the community that has been set up here and why it's so important to so many.

RPers, likely moreso than other social groups in the game, use housing an a vehicle for creating social spaces, events, and facilitating RP. I see no reason why, to that extent and reason, that housing isn't a legitimate 'endgame' for others. (and I'm not saying that social / raid FCs & Individuals don't use housing for social purposes as well. But for this particular community, it's pretty much baked in.)

Spot on! I have been playing for more than a year now and this housing fiasco is getting worst. I don’t understand how Yoshida say is fair . Existing personal house owner get to relocate and pay much less . I’m not going to resub after my subscriptions ends in a month.
