Housing crisis

[Jojoya]

Thing is, game did not wait for you to put up housing, and for a long time there were a ton of avalaible plots on servers no one wanted.
How can you blame someone for buying multiples plots when absolutly no one wanted it back then ? And on what base should they give up now ?
That's easy to cry nowadays, but the housing situation wasn't like that at all when it came out and during the few first years of it.

It doesn't matter what things were like 5 years ago. What matters is what things are like now.. The player base has been growing much faster the last few years compared to the initial growth in ARR and HW. It's doubled just in the last 18 months and yet during that time we've only had 3 new wards with subdivisions added.

Most players aren't trying to have houses taken away from those who obtained them fairly under the rules at the time of purchase (though I'll admit there are a vocal few who ask for it). Even if those houses were taken away, it would be a drop in the bucket compared to existing demand. It would not solve anything.

What we want is for SE to fix the system so every player who wants a house can get one as long as they meet the purchase requirements and have the gil. That cannot happen with the current ward system, especially if the FFXIV player base continues to grow as it has in the last 3 years. The active player population has doubled in size during that time, and we don't know how many new and returning players are going to add to the numbers once Endwalker launches.

We want the system to serve all the players, not just the few blessed by RNG.

I dont disagree with that, at all while i clearly dont care about housing in the first place.
My answer was only to the one i quoted and was aggresive towards someone that just said that they got 3 houses, and i know a ton of ppl that did the same back at when it was possible.
Blame SE all you want, but not the players who played fair and square.

Wasn't being aggressive, just being honest but if your going to white knight their bs "intention in the same post you brag about 3" you deserver some aggression however I wasnt the only aggression was towards devs
