Stop complaining. You wanted this.

This Man gets it. People who aren't going to the FC wards are being funneled into a small area. It will be insane. Mark my words. The Salt will be through the roof.

My days of complaining are about over. I am going to vote with my purse/wallet. You know, no one would have said anything about a 50-50 split, but to have the firmament housing that we waited on for over 2 years to be 75% FC housing is just a slap in the face to the personal players. They could have said this months ago to get opinions, but it seems like they don’t care.

I am not going to wait around and waste my time when I can see the writing on the wall.

this is the end of the thread, it is the truth and we all need to just accept it

Course they made it mostly FC housing for a reason.

It'll sell.

Once the, what, 9 days, are past every single one of them will be full on Hyperion. Maybe even all of Primal.

The good news is, 90% of those FC's will be leaving a house somewhere else, and you'll be able to start a lotto on THAT.

So think of the 70% FC occupion in Ishgard as just being delayed by 2 weeks.

Don't see it?

Walk through with me.

If it had been all private housing, then the larges MIGHT be people moving from other larges, or from small/medium.
The Mediums might be people moving from other mediums or smalls.
The smalls though are not likely to be people moving from other smalls, that are likely to be mostly new housing.

So maybe 100 other plots would open up elsewhere in the world if it was all private.

Instead 30% will be private, but 50% will cause openings ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD.
They've effectively added a new ward to every single other housing location in the game.

This would make sense IF those plots weren't also reserved for FC unless they happen to be on the last 1/4 of the wards...

For those complaining that everyone should get permanent, never to be removed from the game, housing, with no increase in subscription fees to, say, US$20 per month, good luck convincing any company that there should be the potential for 25 million (at last count) players in a game to each have it on multiple characters on multiple worlds.

I suppose that the computer hardware necessary to create such a satisfactory solution could all come with GPUs that could be used for Bitcoin mining while the housing is online.

No one could ever manage this. SE wouldn't break even. They so poor. Small company cant manage. Its necessary for the players to get grief. Theres no better way.

Hey man I've only ever said I wanted instanced housing I'm going to complain all I want.

Like what would happen though if, and I mean IF, people just oh I dont know..merged FCs? like 'OH, this FC has been around forever and it even has an amazing plot...maybe I should take my 15 FC members and apply to them since they seem to do the SAME THING mine does!" Cause then you know, some people wouldnt be homeless FCs. Just a bit bigger with even more people to talk to or even help? Idk, just spit ballin, don't mind me too much.

Because merging FCs generally isn't a good idea? FCs develop their own personalities and cultures. You end up with a massive wall of drama.

The good news is, 90% of those FC's will be leaving a house somewhere else, and you'll be able to start a lotto on THAT.

I don't see much logic in this since 75% of player housing is FC only. So unless they are relocating from wards 19-24, nothing will change in terms of personal acquisition.

Then get a Linkshell for your people. You could even suggest to the FC or FC leader to implement something like linkshells for certain groups. You dont have to interact or even like everyone in a FC. Theres also the blacklist option. You get FCs for the help, buffs, rare mats/minions/items that only come from airships and subs, gardening and community. Theyre not all bad. If it just irks people so much that they feel the need to have their own instead of a simple Linkshell, go for it. But that doesn't entitle them to housing system overhauls, no.
