    Let me stop this right here and now.

    1) Adding more plots isn't as "simple" as you may think. There's a lot more that goes into it, on top of with the system currently implemented. They can't pick-and-choose which servers get more spots. If Balmung gets extra housing plots, for example. Then ALL servers get extra housing plots.

    2) If you think having a Large House plot for your FC makes your FC more "appealing" to others, then you should probably re-think what an FC means to you. on top of that, you don't really have any right or power to say other people don't deserve what they have. Using the Lodestone (to my knowledge, at least) only shows that they're not online. Not how long they've been gone. If they were inactive for 30 - 45 days, they wouldn't have the plot anymore. Maybe they're playing other games, or have real-life things to deal with that take priority over playing XIV. Some definitely take the piss with this system, but it's there and we just have to accept it.

    3) Adding more Instanced Housing (apartments) wouldn't even help it whatsoever. There's already people clamoring FOR Instanced Housing, but when said they can freely go and get one, they turn up their nose and scoff, as if it's below them. "So many players everywhere" is a gross over-exaggeration because only NA servers are affected and, given XIV's popularity. You have to realize that It's a pretty small percentage of the total playerbase. They had already stated they're looking into making Housing more accessible, but we don't know what that exactly means beyond "They're looking into it"

    Making posts like this won't help. Like stated in several other threads, one giant thread with thousands of replies gets noticed, whereas hundreds of smaller threads with only double-digit replies and views get overlooked.

    It is simple, the elitist don't want it because then they won't feel special. IT's a small technical hurdle that SE has the resources to overcome. "Oh add hard drive, copy housing, change a few lines, done.

    It's not that simple because of the way wards and world servers are designed, which is something you clearly don't understand.

    If you really want a house that badly, then you should transfer to one of the 40 something worlds that have houses available to choose from.

    Yes. Completely ignore and intentionally avoid learning the true reasons why things aren't the way you want. Just blame the people that have what you don't.

    Works wonders every time. Especially when SE themselves had publicly said the reasons why it's complicated, yet you seem adamant on ignoring the information given to you and instead, veer off with wild abandon just to try and push your agenda.
