I have to admit as a reasonably new player that this problem made the game a lot less enjoyable for me. I was really REALLY looking forward to buying a large house and building it up, but I'm told that its basically impossible because large plots are never available.

I'm told that they are adding extra housing in Ishgard and implementing a lottery, but realistically there's still almost no chance of getting a large house which is really depressing. Its such an easy fix to just add more housing wards but im told its been a problem since day one and its never addressed.

Ive really enjoyed everything in the game so far, and im working towards saving up 50 million for a plot, but not a single person i talk to thinks a large plot is a realistic goal.
