When I peruse FF's game description I see, HOUSING "Your own little slice of Eorzea". This is among samples of multiple other offerings that will get your attention enticing you to BUY. If you end up not being able to acquire a house period or even in a timely manner, then the game has misrepresented itsself. Especially when housing aquisition is not like savage content and takes no special skills. Housing was a carrot 6 yrs ago when I decided to buy and sub to FF. I had just come out of 2 other MMOs with good housing and really enjoy it. I managed to get a house but it took about 9 months due to lack of gil and the knowledge of how to make it back then Now I guess it is almost impossible, taxing on players and very frustrating. Shame on SE to mislead and neglect their playerbase. The players must apply the pressure for change.
Yes housing is frustrating thing, however it's not the game's main selling point and never was. It's not saying a house will be dropped in your lap when you want it, at the time you want it or that your crafters and gatherers will become level 80 instantly, or you'll be rich with mgp the moment you step into the Gold Saucer. All that you have to work for. It's like advertising a big sale on let's say toilet paper and you enter and find that it's sold out or limited. Are you going to write or go to the manager and say they are neglecting you? That that toilet paper should be on the shelf ready for you when you enter the store? No you wait until the thing becomes available with a raincheck.

I'm not saying housing is not messed up, but with all your posts in lodestone of "down with SE, crying neglect, when it comes to housing, before they've implemented a better system that isn't even released yet, I'm confused how is that neglect? I think they are trying to make housing fair under a system that is riddle with cheaters and those that want something for nothing, but I don't see you pointing finger that way. RMT is your enemy, not SE.
