I bought a house for my FC, but housing Savage was a nightmare!

Friend of mine transferred to my server and found a house in Shirogane within 10 minutes. Was on Spriggan.
And every other area has like a dozen houses available. I guess I'm on a good server.

Depends on how you look at it. I wouldn't wanna live on Spriggan..

I like Spriggan very much and I live on a number of different servers including Aether, Crystal, Mana and others. I would personally recommend it. I live in North America and the ping/latency there doesn't seem to be much different for me at least.

You mean effort as in clicking away amongst a horde of other players and relying on luck as you still have no control over network delay and package routing?

Winning a lottery is totally luck. I'm much rather deal with 10 or so people at a placard then hundreds or more putting their name in a hat. I won my house on Balmung doing just that. Ask for a fix for the timer which should be at most 2 hours if not less.

The point is the kind of effort required at the moment on some servers provide too bad an experience.

I realize some people still love the classical days of taking turns with a real time schedule to camp spawns and have a whole guild on call to assemble within 10 minutes, and spending 7-10 hours just waiting and doing nothing. I've camped spawns myself, staying in a location for 2-3 hours a pop doing nothing, just waiting for that spawn, and always on the alert to tag the spawn. But that kind of experience is not what this game provides.

But if you prefer camping signboards, then I suppose it is a good way to eliminate competition. Like how the plots were all extremely expensive at first and few people could afford any plot.

Ultimately I hope they would see how bad the concept of artificial scarcity is for housing, and how their failed community building concept is becoming a burden that harms the content. Then overhaul it so that housing supply is no longer a problem, which would in turn make all this debate unnecessary.

It's NA who have the worst housing situation due to the population size. Sure some could transfer to Spriggan but that would mean leaving friends behind and potential latency issues depending on their location and internet connection. Not a good trade for a house.
