Your patience is rewarded

"Can I get my relic weapons without grinding for them please? It's only fair SE since so many people have them" That is what your argument sounds. Right now it's close to impossible but instead of adding wards shorted the demolition timer to 20days instead if 35 and you will plots open up like last time the timer was actively being used

This is exactly what SE does though. The steps to previous relics are always nerfed and shortened to make it easier to get after they've been out for a while, so players can catch up. Savages get easier from Echo being added to them and the restrictions on loot being lifted. Everything is slowly made easier to obtain so players can catch up without needing to be on the cutting edge all the time.

And there are those who have tried for years and succeeded. Appartments are a thing but people want more. Maybe islands will solve the instanced housing issue but I bet people still won't like the fix. If people want housing then allow the demolition again. Wards and plots will open.

Do you honestly think half the people posting are going to actively use their housing plot or just make something then rarely visit it ever again loke so many plots in the older districts? If they have been laying for years then they would have a house. Simple as that. From what I'm seeing they want ine when it's convenient for them instead of basically trying to farm a house like a relic weapon or a new raid.

Islands are not instanced housing and Yoshi-P has already said to tone down expectations lol. Apartments are far less to actual houses and isn't even worth the comparison really.

Who are you to say they won't use their houses often? Not everyone uses their homes for RP, sure, but it doesn't mean people actively abandon it. Plenty of people want their own place to decorate, hang out in, craft and hide in, ect.

No one should farm for a house like a "relic weapon or new raid", do you even hear yourself lol. Seriously other games don't even make you do that and it's been stated many, many times how unhealthy it is to be in front of a placard to click, click, click. I don't get why you are against every other system other than the fact that you clicked for hours getting your house and the privilege of having a house over others feels nice.

False propaganda. Just a friendly reminder to you we all pay the same sub yet 1 out of 1000 of us got a house

Patient and hard work is rewarded. Instanced housing would ruin the feeling of having an actual spot in the world Eorzea and will negatively affect the RP community as a whole.

So we need Instanced housing then, got it.

Since when did FF14 work like other games? What other game launches fails then turns it around and becomes successful? Housing is a luxury like relic weapons and extreme raids and savages. I'm all for the lottery system. It's what people wanted. One hiccup and everyone is over reacting. My expectation for islands is gardening. That's it. That's pretty low expectations compared to some of the ideas going around. I'm sorry my view differs. I have read everyone else's views yet when I shared a different view I get toxic replies and insulted? I see your points if they do do instanced housing I'll accept it and move on. I agree it was very unhealthy clicking that placard and I have nightmares about it still.

To sum it up. Lottery system good (after fixing hiccups which they said will take 3 to 5 days)
The demolishon timer should be turned on and more places will open. I don't agree with the ward segregation between fc and private but I get why it was done.

A lot of MMOs including the ones made by Square Enix, World of War Craft, and a plethora of other games.

Infact I would argue that you'd be hard pressed to find anything this game does thats 100% original and cannot be found in another MMO.

No Mans sky?
I dont understand how this one is relevant this happened over 10 years ago at this point.

You talk a lot about immersion, but imagine getting a private island only to do gardening.

How """""""immersive""""""""", don't see why that doesn't hurt the RP world of eorzea or however you put it

[Nezerius]

The bug was identified and those patient enough that left their gil in the plot they won will be able to get their house. The past days of speculation and crazy theories can finally end
Those who didn't wait well. I'm sure Yoshi or someone else will have a fix so that might take a longer time.

Seems like you weren't patient enough to read the entire update on the housing issue. The lottery data will include the players who already chose to get their gil refunded.

Never did I use the word ""immersive""

Never did I say FF14 was completely unique compared to other games but I do believe their player base is kinder the most other games.

I disagree with you about the RP community. Just because you apparently don't like them or want to see them gone from your "So we need Instanced housing then, got it." Comment doesn't mean they way you play the game is better then others.

You could be more respectful when others share a different view then yours rather then being rude.

We all pay the same sub yes. 100% agree. What I don't see if anyone asking about demolition timers since that would add more plots. Lottery good. Don't agree with instanced housing outside of appartments.

It's already been stated by the devs: "FFXIV wouldn't exist without WoW" (not direct quote, but you get the gist). Plenty of MMOs are also successful and gasp.. have working housing! Even games that aren't as big and successful as XIV, still have adequate housing! So where's the excuse? Yes, XIV being successful after a failed launch is huge - but I don't give a hoot if the systems currently in place are not working as well as they should be and the developers have dug their heels in because "well we want a community!" whilst at the same time, making the game more single player anyways.

One hiccup and everyone is over reacting. My expectation for islands is gardening. That's it.

One thing you have to understand is that the reaction isn't over "one hiccup". The reaction is because the housing system is broken, limited, and rampant with RMT while SE puts in systems with loopholes that can be abused for years. They make job changes and strip away complexity for years. They leave broken things broken. They tell everyone "well, go get an apartment" when they are clearer inferior and lesser to houses. Sorry, but they are. This reaction is YEARS of people being frustrated with SE's lack of care. We pay a sub for this game, we should be able to enjoy the features it advertises. Yet here we are.

I'm sorry my view differs. I have read everyone else's views yet when I shared a different view I get toxic replies and insulted?

I'm not trying to insult, so rip if I came across rather harsh because my last sentence in my last post really does come across that way, -- not trying to be toxic either. That was the vibe I got across from your posts overall. It really does come across as "well, got mine" so that is why I said what I said.

[Arazehl]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought apartments and even FC rooms have a limit to them. In which case they aren't instance for everyone.
