Stop complaining. You wanted this.

Ah yes the original system, that back then houses were per character not per account, had also no placard clicking or lottery. So a madlad with 8 characters who each had an FC could buy 8 plots as long as they had the gil for it, and if they were a 1.0 player their subscription fee was only $9.99 instead of $14.99. And if they had say 4 accounts that were all 1.0 legacys, they would only pay $39.96 and could own a little over half an entire ward including its subdivsion.

This fabled era that apparently people want to go back to.

If SE could keep the number of wards up to date with the overall demand, certainly.

Or they could work on instanced housing so players could own multiple houses without impacting the ability of other players to likewise get multiple houses. As it stands now, it can only be done by those who abuse shell FCs.

Imagine all the new players joining now who come to learn that because they didn't have several million gil and finish 2.0 in the 5 day period after launch that they now have to trust in the grace of God to get a house. For something so casual and laid back as an ingame house.

Yet they can get an apartment (even on Balmung now, Empyreum has solved that problem for the near future), which is generally the type of entry level housing a game provides for new players. It's cheaper, has most of the basic functions a house has - and isn't subject to demolition.

Players can be their own worst enemies by trying to jump directly into the end goal instead of working their way toward it. That's not to say I like how SE has designed the housing system here but anyone thinking they should be immediately entitled to a mansion needs a reality check.
