Thanks I will..still on the hunt though this time for some friends. Going to be a long road but worth walking one more time.

Do you see free plots or do you see camped plots. It's a massive difference.

You asked about free plots, of course people will camp them due to the current system.

That's not moving the goalpost, that's a clarification. You're seem just as salty I won't worship the ground SE treads upon.

"Show me a server with free houses" -Gets given evidence. "No, I mean an NA server with free houses" -Gets given evidence again. "No, no, I mean an NA server with free houses that nobody is camping"

There is only one difference between a 'free' plot and a camped plot. The camped plot has probably been up longer, so it will probably be available for purchase earlier than the 'free' plot. On the NA side (Popular servers that is.) there is 0% chance of you finding a plot that can be purchased outright with nobody there. To think there is something like that makes you delusional.

Only brand new servers (Twintania I believe still qualifies here) would have 'free' plots, ready for purchase. But that's because on those servers, nobody has the gil (or the economy boon) to buy the plots, or there are so few players that the wards won't be full until a mass exodus which even then, wouldn't help as SE limits just how much gil you can take with you from server to server, to avoid breaking the server economy.

That's not clarification. That's you adding extra steps because you refuse to admit you're wrong. It's okay, though. We all have those stubborn moments! But it'd be a fair bit easier if you just dropped the facade.

Maybe you should work on your communication skills so we don't misunderstand you.

To quote Kenky:

Yeah.....

Even Twintania and Spriggan are running out of their excess supply as more new players join the game and get tunneled to those servers (usually one or the other is an active Preferred server for EU). I was looking a couple of weeks ago and they seemed to be down to about 1-2 dozen ready to buy with a handful that would have been just relinquished/demolished and likely on the timer still.

I'm not sure about the current state of JP. Last time I checked was in January/February. I know there were a lot more full worlds then than there had been about a month before the 5.1 ward additions. The data center with all their legacy worlds was packed. If I remember correctly think I only found about a dozen total houses available across all 11 worlds though the other data centers did have a fair number of available houses scattered around (a few worlds were still over 100).

Maybe with it starting to become a problem on the JP worlds, SE will decide it's time for a better system. Or maybe not. Regardless of what developers want, the executives control the purse strings and if they feel the expense to update the housing system is less than the profit such a change would generate they'll likely say No. YoshiP might have a say on that executive board now but he's not a majority by himself and still has to convince the rest.

I dont participate much in gardening or anything like that, but I kept getting houses primarily for my wife. She likes to decorate it and it gives us a hangout area while we wait for queues. Same if you want to hangout with just friends.

I've lost like 80% of my event/promotional housing items from various demolitions now, but you need a house if you ever plan to furnish them all to see.

I enjoy ffxiv PvP
Conventional and housing. Plot IS the trophy.
...
Oh and gardening and silently building my cottagecore RP experience, that's sexy.
...
No but for real: the lastest plot I bought was because I recently made new character on DC I did not have friends to boost/sponsor me in on any way, and I kinda wanted to go through the penniless new player experience. I put several odd objectives for myself. Like; 1 dps, tank and healer at lvl 80 (atm: healer 80 already, dps/tank in between 70-79), crafters at lvl 50 (all but CUL which is at lvl 30 atm).
Final boss of that experiment being getting plot, naturally.
...
My new game+ now is to gather more money for relocation, to little nicer plot when something like that comes across. 2.6mil saved so almost there, and I am not even at Shadowbringers content yet. Experiment: successful, I would say.
