REMOVE THE HOUSING TIMERS!!!!!

Screaming a demand will go far!

Let me enlighten you. I've been playing for 4 years. Before there were timers, there was zero houses available. What was available was advertise for sale either by party finder or reddit and the asking price was inflated to 5x the normal in game asking price. So you bought the right to purchase their plot, then paid the actual in game cost of purchase on top of that. There were no houses available at all other than you lining someone else's pocket with gil was it possible to get any sort of house. This practice was seen as unfair and many players complained about it.

When new wards were added, the RMTs would snatch them up and maybe a small handful of players would get lucky and get a house, but in between adding new wards each time, housing availability was non existent. By adding timers SE made it harder for RMT to purchase plots for resell at inflated prices and when they did it was the first time in a long time, I would actually see plots available on the map.

Now I know just a couple of months ago they finally restarted the auto demolition timers, where those who owned a house who have not enter their residence in 45 days would be scheduled for demolition. I also know that auto demo was stopped for several months prior, due to a real life event, causing a stall in available plots for sale. When it was implemented again you saw the sporadic plots once more. To me that's better than not seeing any plots at all.

Taking timers away all together is not the answer either. You're just opening the door for RMT to pick up where they left off. At least you're seeing actual plots for purchase with this system, take timers away, you will seen no plots available.
