First successful housing patch??

[Vahlnir]

-snip-

I agree with you that if someone decided to join an already overcrowded server they really only have themselves to blame for not having a house. But like I said already, transferring isn't so simple for people. Whether it be friends, money, or a plethora of other reasons some people simply wish to stay. That's fine, but...housing will always be an issue on high pop servers. So...it's a matter of figuring out what one's priorities are and if you can deal with the consequences of them.

Now if they added instanced housing? That would alleviate the demand a ton. This patch did a decent job on most servers, but more could still be done.

You could be right and i think SE should make special treatment for people willing to transfer from overcrowded server to server with less population. Now to make it clear i dont know what you are allowed to take with you so if there is some limitation it would be good for SE to increase those limitations but not to the point to endanger the economy of the end server. I'm not even sure if this is available but the transfer should be free if you are going to move all your characters from the overpopulated server.
But you know what, even if SE is going to do this i bet whatever you want that only few people will take this offer and the rest will still be here complaining because of Balmung and their culture of entitlement.

Literally they did this and nobody complained and a lot of people did leave lmfao

If you're gonna sit here and try to roast a whole server and call them snowflakes or whatever, at least do a tiny little bit of research about what SE has done to alleviate the problem and what the results were?

Whether it was #1 on SE's promotional hit parade or not, it was there and supposed to be available for everyone when they have met the requirements. Housing is baited and encouraged by retainers bringing back items, lots of crafting recipes, every outside of raid reward event items and even some inside ones, beast tribes and the list goes on. SE created and enabled the system to provide the constant danging scent of fresh housing carrots in front of our noses and the bait was taken. Now, let them fix that system.

So why are you still on Balmung and chasing your tail on forum? Why you didnt take the opportunity and move to another server to get your dream house?

Because when all these whiners speak about "dreams" they are highly exaggerated and hyperbolic. If I want something that bad I go get it, I don't complain about something that will not change. If it is that important they will move, that simple. SE can't be expected to cater to one or two servers when the vast majority now have wards that are ghost towns.

Because I have a house. My dream plot. On Balmung. And it's made it very clear to me how unfair this system is in general.

People did research, and they have every good reason to laugh at Balmung folks and people who transferred there for 4.2 when gate reopened allowing people to create/transfer back there.

Choosing to go back and demanding a plot/ward in a most congested and overpopulated server is called "snowflakes or whatever" as you call it.

Who here transferred back to Balmung and is demanding a plot? The person I was responding to claimed that if SE offered free transfers off of Balmung, very few people would take it because of Balmung's "culture of entitlement." This isn't true. We know it's not true because a lot of people left when the transfers off were free.

No one here is roasting entire Balmung server, but we are definitely roasting those self-center and entitled Balmung lobbyists. There are three choices for over-populated Balmung that want a house:

1. Transfer, Transfer, and Transfer (This is very important, so i have to say it 3 times.)
2. Stay on Balmung for role-playing.
3. S/E uses Odin slash to slash Balmung into two (in which, S/E has done few times back in FF11).

S/E uses Odin slash

Odin Slash!!!! I thought it instantly killed things. If Balmung died then another server would take its place.
