Couple housing questions

Worst system ever. 7 hours i spent camping a spot and someone just waltzes in and drops their house.

Such an amazingly bad system.

It is definitely a horrible system. A lot of plots opened up today though so you do have a lot to choose from depending on your server. I'm on Midgardsormr and so many spots opened that they just keep going down in price now. Though I'm still waiting for the random timer to tick over on this plot been here for 5 hours now. Hasn't been any competition though for the spot at least. It's incredibly stupid though that someone could just relocate to here suddenly just because they feel like it. I don't get why relocation gets to bypass the random timer that nobody else can bypass. It's a system completely designed to be against new buyers. Anyone with a house already doesn't care whatsoever.

I don't think i have ever been so mad at a game before lol.

They should swap to a lottery system where you deposit the gil for the house and it gets returned if you don't win the house or implement instanced housing.

Or you know, revert back to what it used to be

If you're playing this game with the expectation that you'll actually be able to get a house without being one of those bots who cheats the system or having done so BEFORE this timer system came into play....I have some bad news for you: it won't happen. You're better off cancelling your sub and uninstalling until probably 8.0.

I've actually managed to get *two* houses, a FC , and a personal without cheating the system. And have several friends who have too. Though to be fair, I'm taking about between Hyperion and Famfrit.

This is the other issue people keep having... They play on less populated servers then brag about being able to get a house and it's not so hard. Meanwhile the more populated servers have tons of issues going on. No matter what though the issues exist and need to be fixed... they took one problem (monopolization), fixed it (limited housing to 1 per account), but then made it infinitely worse (random timer)... I don't know what the thought process was there.

While Hyperion is a preferred world, it's not really a "less populated server". It's about middle of the pack. We actually have more active characters than Midgardsormr according to the latest census. I agree Famfrit is a lower populated server, but that doesn't mean that housing isn't important there (some of our best designers are there). There just aren't enough houses to go around for the huge number of people who play on the NA servers. (Point of reference, the newest census shows JP having around 17k less active players than NA, but JP has 8 more servers than NA, aka JP has 34,560 more houses for their 17k less people. I'm sure it's not a popular opinion, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, what we need is more NA servers. Though it probably won't happen with how hard it's been to get people to balance population on the NA side, but maybe world visit will help with that.)

Um...so your argument that you're not a preferred world is...you have more characters than another preferred world as of the last census?
