This housing system is TRASH

OH NO! I'M FROM BALMUNG! AN OVER POPULATED SERVER FULL OF TOXIC PEOPLE! It must mean I too am toxic. .. Better start blocking me then!

Toxic isn't the word that comes to mind in regards to balmung. xD

Don't say it, DON'T SAY IT.

The airship/submarines to make gil, the owners of FCs don't share that LMAO.

I've talked with people today, who in their FC wards, there is medium plots still with 0 entries.. MEDIUM FC WARD PLOTS WITH 0 ENTRIES. That is part of the problem, there is more of a personal player base and people wanting personal houses, than there is FC's and the need for FC's. If anything, FC's should of gotten wards 19-24, and personal 1-18, and I guarantee, there wouldn't be any open plots in wards 1-18. because the want/need for a personal house is in greater demand than a FC house. It's why people in FCs, even FC owners, go buy their own personal plot as well, to have their own, personal bit of space.

And you're right. That's why the submarines/airships works better for private FCs. So in other words, there's FC houses that should be personals but are not due to this.

As for those houses with 0 entries? I wish I had that. . . but I'm stuck in a over populated server.

It's the word I'd use. Sure, it's known for ERP but that's where all the toxicity comes from. I'm only in this server cause when I joined the game back in 2.0, a friend suggested it cause they were in it and I was mostly playing with my partner that is now my ex. I didn't learn about how bad people are in this server until after the 6 year breakup. . . So now I'm stuck with 7 RP alts. And no, not ERP alts. Too much drama that I'm not willing to share here.

This alone should speak for itself. EMPYREUM. 18 empty plots. one medium, 17 smalls.
That is 18 plots that could go to personals. And this is just one ward, out of 18.

*pic isnt mine, someone else sent it to me but it proves my point*

Meanwhile, my server has the complete opposite going on.

Unfortunately, Khudus - because we're on Balmung - and housing is severely limited - we may just not be able to acquire our desired housing for the remainder of the game's lifespan.

We both know small privates are going to see 100+ entries. Our chances are beyond slim.

[KhudusQestir]

I just lost my last chance to get a small number bids for a FC plot. The rest of my bids are going to look a lot like this now



Seeing this makes you want to give up. . . this doesnt comfort someone and think "Oh yeah, I could get a house/relocate someday."

My last bid was only up to 14 and the only reason was because there were still several mediums in ishgard still. The reason this is so high because it's one of the FEW mediums in LB

To be entirely honest, you will likely never own a house in this game unless theres a core system change.

Thats just that statistics of it.

And that's exactly why I'm here and saying something because not saying anything is just going to continue to allow this to happen... Like I've been trying to get a better relo for over a year. So I might as well try reaching out and say something with a proper suggestion. . .

So I'm gonna say this again and be a little more clear.

I don't think adding more wards will fix this as a whole. It's just a bandaid until you get the same problem again in due time. . . This will help some servers but not servers like mine. People aren't going to server hop so willingly either. So you can't expect this to fix itself in any way. . . The best thing to do is for each of us to have our own zone. We don't need neighbors. . . especially, strangers, we aren't ever going to care about. We're a bunch of antisocial nerds in a digital world. So it's silly to expect socializing like that and if it does it's going to be rare or not that often.

Give us our own zone, our own house and don't make us fight each other over it. . .

You know when 6.1 released with the Empyrium, I had a LOT of people act toxic towards me just for going near the plot they're sitting at to try and 'guard' it. Like it was really going to stop me but STILL. It encouraged bad behavior. . . this just makes people aggresive, unhappy, uncomfortable and stressed. That's not how a videogame should feel.

Oh, I completely agree with you. 100%.

But, unfortunately, your idea makes too much sense.

And it would result in the developers having to admit that they erred heavily in relation to their original idea for housing.

Which means there's minimal chances of it ever being implemented.
