Saint title should get first dibs

[DamianFatale]

No thank you. I'm sorry that you're salty about housing, and made it into the highest score list during the events, but that doesn't mean you're more deserved than the rest of us.

We literally built the house. Non crafters wouldn’t have finished the restoration if we didn’t do it for them. We sit there all day grinding it out and these guys just pop in to do the fates, and they’re going to make it hard for us to get houses after they put no effort in to help the server. It’s a bit distasteful.

I taste a little salt.

So when does Ultimate/Savage raiders gets first full dibs on Extreme mounts?

I look forward to the housing zones opening not for the housing, but for the beautiful juicy drama. No matter what Square does people are going to be mad if they don’t get a plot.

Considering Squares Anti Botting team is like 3 people in Japan "working from home" and not paying a remotest attention to the NA servers bot infestation. That's a no from me.

Seriously Square, can you guys increase your anti-cheating team by like 1,000% and hire an NA branch of it? So my 100 reports of the same RMT trader can finally get removed and banned in less than 6 months it takes now?

Saint here, I'll just relocate instead of upgrading. That's going to be my dibs.

It seems like whatever people do someone is going to think they're a bot. I don't think bot witch hunts are at all productive but I think it's more likely that people who helped with Ishgard didn't bot. I hear more people talk about bots when it comes to buying a house and in that case it makes sense.

I think it would be nice if they reconsidered the current system and used something more like social housing. Where people can pre-register and then are semi-randomly selected with weighting in favor of certain things like how long someone has registered and not gotten a house or if they already live somewhere. I don't know but something better than who is the fastest when it opens up. Pretty much never going to happen.

It would be nice if they made a way for people with houses to like rent out a floor of their house to someone else. Then that person could have all the permissions for just that floor and pay rent to the house owner. I don't know. Pretty much never going to happen.

Limiting it to saints doesn't seem so great like we all have friends and free companies and maybe they helped in indirect ways. I feel like people who say that it's about the title also miss the point that it was about the community and trying to do your best. Some already had a title or don't use it, and nobody needed to be in the firmament to help, a lot of saints only came to the firmament when they were turning in a lot of items. Others were there without working on the competition so the community is definitely important I think.

If people paid attention then there are a lot of quirks I think to the firmament that don't really suit a housing district. Even just the hospital area which can't be turned into a house so what purpose would it have? And where will Ehll Tou go?

They said something along the lines that the housing district might not be exactly like the firmament and I think that's something we'll find out later. Please look forward to it.

#1 Lamia Miner in 1st ranking period.

People participated in the rankings knowing what the rewards were. This is why titles remained the same for all Saints. It wouldn't be fair to those that didn't participate.

There's also a housing shortage in XIV. There are fewer Saints per world than there would be houses in Ishgard.

Imagine SEVEN WARDS completely empty, just because they're arbitrarily reserved for Saints. If we don't want to reserve literally 1/3 of Ishgard to Saints, then what's the point of this suggestion, since Saints still have to rush for their housing?

I would be very upset to see such a "bold" decision.

Saint here, I'll just relocate instead of upgrading. That's going to be my dibs.

New housing is exempt from the random timer, unless you mean you intend to relocate to a larger plot outside of Isghard.

Saint title? 12 - 36? C'mon....do the maths. Top 12 for each DoH and DoL, that's 12 × 11
And then there were 4 stages? So 12 × 11 x 4 = 528 saints per server.....wards full of saints xD

396 Saints per world, there were only three ranking periods. Housing zones have 24 wards consisting of 60 plots each (including subdivision). Rounding up, that's 7 wards to be reserved.

No timer but there may be a personal purchase moratorium. Someone who wants a personal house in Ishgard is going to have a much better chance of getting a good plot if they already have a house and relocate. Otherwise, it's going to just be less desirable smalls available for purchase by the time the moratorium is lifted.

I mean, don't they? Any group who is running savages can, I assume, run extremes without needing to worry about loot n scoot when the good stuff drops.
