Why do FCs get 75% of the wards?

[Elesh]

I believe the main reason why they're giving priority to FCs is that one of the primary resource systems for FCs is gated behind housing(the guild workshop/voyages/etc.).

But I hope they add more personal wards. I have a house(it's actually in what is now an fc ward) and it's such fun having your own place in-game like that... so I wish they'd find a way to make it more accessible so everyone can have that.

Let’s have a highest bidder….. I need something to spend my billion on.

There are a lot of housing primals with much more. Making it highest bidder will just give them all the houses.

Sings "Living next door to Alice"

Soge called when she got the word
And she said: "I suppose you've heard
About Alice"
When I rushed to the window
And I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up
Into Alice's drive...

They should add more wards. They are simply not enough period. People still want houses and can't get them despite paying to play the game.

I could've sworn they said they would add new wards but I'm going to assume Ishgard is the test phase before they do? Since it's the new area, perhaps they're just waiting to see how this all turns out and then proceed to add new wards like they said they would but hell.... this is SE we're talking about and can't take their word so easily...

Simply adding more wards is akin to slapping a bandage on a gaping wound. They've increased the number of wards several times in the past and it has changed very little.

Yeha, it's broken, but look for silver linings and stay happier.

If you don't get your snowy goblet plot, in a few months, there are a bunch of new servers for another chance. When they come online, wait the 90 days housing lockout we had, then enter the raffle again. Consider a solo FC to get access to the FC plots.

Right now I am sitting in Shirogane in a completely empty ward enjoying the tranquility and dreaming of Piassa larges



You can do the same in your servers soon, too.

Yoshi has also stated this is not anyway replacing housing as well. It is something completely different so until it drops and we learn more of it, i would not hold my breathe on count on it being actual housing.

[ElysiumDragon]

The fundamental problem is that whilst Ishgard is a good start to fixing things, there's a lot of damage to fix, mostly caused by frankly reckless game design choices. Not limiting houses to 1 per service account Day 1 let Shell FC's buy up the houses and use them for RMT, or just plain hoard them. There's no point blaming the players who DO own 20 houses, because they're not going anywhere any time soon, and they played within the rules. It's the rules that were at fault to begin with.

They should open up the FC wards after 1st or 2nd round of lottery for individual owners otherwise the wards will be so empty and dead
