Housing for me might as well not exist.

[True-to-Caesar]

Definitely my opinion, but one that is not unfounded. If you were to take a moment to look around some of the wards on multiple servers, you'll find many many houses that are completely bare and undecorated (with the except of a mini-atheryte). I myself have several neighbors this way.

Gil and real money sadly. When you see wards with 4+ houses owned by the same phantom FC, being empty with just the bare minimum, you know what’s the deal. And it isn’t a lack of gil to decorate.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, is it?

Don’t bother, some players in FFXIV are extremely defensive about their game, as if criticizing the game is criticizing them.
Love the game and all its aspects or be sent in the fire.

You can easily tell this is a bad system, especially after playing other games offering housing in a multiplayer setting.
