Housing Ownership Restrictions

[Almagnus1]

Unfairly denying others the ability to participate? Incorrect. You can, just like every other player, spam a placard for your chance to own a house. Not to mention the Apartments that are essentially infinite being an option to those that wish to Participate in the housing system, without the toxicity of other players at a placard point. People seem pretty adamant in forgetting this fact. Wonder why..

And what happens if the FC that likes being on somewhere like Cactuar wants to find a home?

Stop looking for loopholes or reasons to justify attacking other players because they are doing what they enjoy.

I'm not the one who's attacking other players here, I'm looking for a way to better optimize housing distribution so that more can enjoy it because housing is such a scarce resource.

And if you perceive that to be an attack on you (or your playstyle), then that's a problem that exist solely in your head.

I'd love to see you try to obtain the information yourself LOL!

I haven't put in the time to work with XIVAPI to pull the data and make sure it's valid. Most of what I was looking into involved using a packet sniffer to pull the data from the ingame traffic and storing it as it's being sent from the server to the client in plain text so I'd get the addresses and FC tags - which means I can do a focused Lodestone pull via XIVAPI for the FC tag on that world and verify it with the address.

And honestly, I got sidetracked into other projects so that got put onto the backburner. Speaking frankly, no amount of data I can provide, or arguments I will make will ever be sufficient for those who are abusing the current system because they will always see themselves in the right and most of them (like yourself) cannot be reasoned with because they only think that people like myself are incompetent simpletons that are doing this out of jealousy. When you're fighting that perpetual uphill battle... why waste the effort?

Lacking any kind of free time to set up a Google Data Studio document and google sheet is struggling to keep up with 4,000,000 cells. No ETA on that, but I'm hoping to get something out by the end of Fall. If you have something very specific, I could get a list like this one (most popular FC plot/all servers):

You've got a website, why aren't you pumping the data into the website's database, and going from there?

While a spreadsheet is a great tool for analysis (at least as far as Excel is concerned - the Google Spreadsheet is a POS), a spreadsheet is a horrible way to store data, much less make it accessible to anything else.
