"Exposing the FFXIV Housing Black Market." RMT House Sales

[Risvertasashi]

As much as I hate RMT, if the devs didn't model the housing system after the Hunger Games these sorts of sales wouldn't be possible. And they're implementing technical measures to hopefully fix it, but there wouldn't need to be dev time spent on that either - if housing was simply more available.

And before someone shouts "chip shortage!", this problem has existed well before covid19 was a thing.

Doubly worse when other, *older* games, have had better systems in place.
LotRO has a very similar housing system to 14, except that the system just made a new instance when no more houses were available.

More than that, it made new districts if houses of one type sold out. As a result, most of the districts was empty, cuz big houses went down first. And tbh, I'd prefer it that way.
