Why can't we all have a House?

[Jadedsins]

Because quality > quantity. Simple as that.
Maybe they can give housing for everyone, but at what cost? No more neighborhoods? Reduced item limits/storage?
Also does everyone even need a house?

Does everyone need glam?


and that cost seems fair to me.

No more neighborhoods fine with me. Reduced items sure?


A small price to pay for having a house and not needing to keep a sub up when the game becomes too tedious to pay for.

Then enjoy your apartment and FC room. There you go... There is something for everyone, isn't that nice.

You don't need glams either and glams are easier to fix than a whole housing area.
People are acting like they're entitled to housing when they're not, it's just a bonus thing added on. Yoshi P has already explained why they can't do what players want them to do because of certain limitations. I played arcage before ff14 and they had the same housing limit, you can only get housing now cause a lot of people left.
I don't complain about people owning entire wards as they were probably playing from 1.0 and most likely spent millions of gil to purchase, are we gonna begrudge them the free retainers too?

FFXIV game descriptive: "What is Final Fantasy?" Adventure is what you make of it.
Housing
Fashion
The Gold Saucer
Gathering
Crafting
Would you be happy if you never could make a crafter or gatherer because too many players had one? Would you enjoy being barred from the Gold Saucer due to high player content? Would you enjoy staying in the same outfit/armor because they only allowed x number of that armor and other players always bought them up before you could get them?
Think about what you said about not "entitled" to a house.

Think about what you said about not "entitled" to a house.

With a many different politically charged connotations the word entitled has these days, perhaps it might be better and safer to say "..has the unrestricted ability to purchase a plot when they have the money.". You seem like a nice person and I'd hate to see you flamed even more than in the past.

Every player should have the ability to purchase a plot as soon as they have the money to do so, without restriction. To be clear, having to camp a placard with a bunch of other people is not unrestricted, nor is having to buy a shell FC to get a house. Unrestricted does not mean every single plot is available to all players at all times. Unrestricted means there's always at least one plot available at all times, with players being able to walk up to a placard at any time of day or night and purchase the plot. If this means instanced housing or dynamic creation of ward instances, so be it.

"Entitled" wasn't my word, it was the OPs. As far as flamed, it takes more than posters here to ruffle my feathers As far as nice, I sure am however, I do not defend a gaming company that falls short while I pay for it each month. I have a house, an apt and a FC but I feel for those who post these boards day after day, week after week, month after month with the frustration of not being able to obtain a dream that was presentated as obtainable before purchase. If it's not as it is presented, repost correctly on the description page and apologize to all of us who expected one thing and got another over the years,
