Major changes needed for housing

[Kaurhz]

I gave you a response, I'm sorry if it wasn't to your liking. I never said the system was perfect or that it should be the permanent solution, I said that I'm speaking on the reality of what we have now and the potential of what we'll have in the future if nothing is changed. Because, the harsh reality is, this system is probably not changing and the farms we're getting are the compromise for that.

And again, it was said that this system was too much effort in which myself and others also gave alternatives to avoid having to sit and camp all day. Those were basically ignored. I feel like you didn't read all of my posts and are fixating on one just because you didnt like the language used.

For the last time, you can have whatever opinion you want, I'm just not going to always agree and that's fine. You can't please everyone and you'll encounter people with differing opinions in your life. You won't change my mind, same as I won't change anyone's here.

I'm glad that I can agree on that much; that the system is far from perfect or should be a permanent solution. Nor did I really imply that is what you were thinking in the first place.

This point links back to one of my original points "and god forbid you to criticize the unnecessary effort and leaps that people are required to go through in order to just simply get a house. It's hardly about effort. The fact the very system has on several occasions attracted means of botting and auto-clicking in order to get a house says something very substantial about it." - Using the in-game features it's a disgusting implementation and should not really require external sources like sitting in discord servers as compensation for an already extremely poor system. - With the community of discord servers and such largely helping to drive what is an inherently flawed system. So chalk it up to expecting everything handed down on a plate- But I will continue to chalk the entirety of it up to very poor in concept, and extremely poor in implementation.

Some of the suggestions were effectively akin to pretty much largely gimping your chances in getting a plot. If you aren't camping that plot, then your chance of getting the plot in the first place is pretty low. Especially on a highly populated server; luck-driven. as is the entirety of the system itself. This is an inherent flaw of the system. It should not incite, nor should it provoke players to sit and camp a plot, or play the click game for the entirety of the duration they're sat at the placard. Whether or not their intention was this or not is irrelevant, this is the result of a blatant ill-considered implementation.

Oh, you got the plot after sitting there for 20 minutes, whilst clicking fairly infrequently. Well done; you as everyone else who gets a house on this system have done so largely by virtue of luck.

I feel like we're having the same conversation over and over again. So I'm just going to point you to the last post I made as a response to this one. You've repeated your stance multiple times as have I. I don't see anything else productive coming from this conversation. You can have your opinion and I can have mine. It's perfectly fine to not agree or like mine just like it's perfectly fine for me to not agree with parts of yours or other people's. Repeating the same thing over and over to me isn't going to change my mind same as nothing I say will change yours. I personally don't have an issue with the system as much as other people and that's fine for me to view it like that. I'm a blunt person and direct so while I will apologize for the word choice I used, I also don't take back anything I've said in this thread either.

I completely agree, although housing in this game is of no interest, having known much better and has no purpose other than to satisfy those who want to play a LEET version of The Sims.

But these comments also strike another issue with this game I find troubling as a returning player. I started playing FF14 at release. I remember failing over and over to learn mechanics.

Now the message for newbs is "watch the videos and stop wasting my time".

Or sit in Discord, in the case of housing.
