Open plea to the Devs

[True-to-Caesar]

You have the same ability to get a house as I do a rare mount.
1. Locate empty plot.
2. Click on sign
3a. Win roll and be happy
3b. Lose roll an repeat steps 1 and 2

There is no situation where you can't get a house. You are free to click on the signs all day and night. Housing is no different then ex mounts. Just keep trying until you get it.

As far as house hunting goes I have plenty of experience. Want to buy some?

Bad comparison, loot is infinite and a player can even try his luck when the content is no longer relevant by being unsynched.

Mounts are infinite, housing is limited in supply. With 0 guarantee one will ever be free when you are around.

I’ve been grinding 1% drop rate loot in games and you have more chance at obtaining that than a small house in a FF server, let alone big servers.

You also don’t see people spamming NEED for hours, or roll at odd hours of the day. You don’t have a timer on when you can loot and roll. If you want to compare housing with something, it’s fine, but loot vs housing is just not the same.

Best advice that can be given is to wait for SE to fix the system, as it's only going to get worse from now until when they do because a lot of the Asmonsprouts are going to get to the point in FFXIV where they are going to want a house, which is going to crank up the difficulty of Housing Ultimate.

Welp that’s me. At first I thought wards would be generated until I learned what a mess housing is, and how limited in supply it is with nothing to fall back on like instanced housing.

I’m still saving some gil and hope to buy a small plot but I’m on Cerberus so my chances are already low. Wish they could do something about it but I don’t see anything happening in the near future sadly.
