First successful housing patch??

[Elamys]

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.

All the servers have the same amount of houses. Why should SE create more houses for overpopulated servers when there are wards that are ghost towns on other servers? Overpopulation and underpopulation are equally problematic, and SE is doing the right thing in trying to balance populations. Adding more housing to overpopulated servers is counterproductive to that goal. They're trying to give players a reason to transfer from the overpopulated servers, not an incentive to stay, or moreso have new people come to the server. If people choose to stay, they choose to stay, but it makes no sense for SE to add extra housing to overpopulated servers when other servers have literally hundreds of open plots in some cases.

From what I hear they cannot just add more wards to one server alone the way it is coded they would have to increase ALL server wards to the amount they change on balmung. Then that creates a problem of low populated servers with all large houses being taken with the rest of the ward being empty.

You were never promised a house.... just the equal chance to get one as everyone else has... the chance on balmung is currently 0... but it's fair because everyone on balmung has the exact same chances to get a house... it's not SEs fault the community caused a problem the same community refuses to address themselves... you choose a high population server and you get the pros and cons that accompany it... every server has its costs and benefits... is the community on balmung worth not getting a house? Is getting a house worth moving to a smaller community?

Almost too successful on some servers. Still have like 16 available plots in my subdivision in The Mist. I want some more neighbors.

[Alleo]

I was really referring to the whole, it's fraud because it isn't available. It is available.

Only because after a huge amount of time and rage SE finally went and introduced a huge amount of houses that would still not be enough if each player wants one. All the time before this patch there was never enough housing for those that wanted it and yet they still made housing as part of the advertisement..Shirogane especially was quite a big part in marketing and yet its release was probably followed by worst rage of the player base. So they might be available now (and reach another limit if more people are playing or at the level to purchase a house) but before that they advertised something that barely anyone could truly get.

(And putting a big amount of event items as housing items in a game with limited housing is bad imo)

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.

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.
