Housing sucks rn!

...For every lottery entry, SE has another data point that their current housing supply is inadequate.....

Do we even have proof that they're looking at those numbers?

Tbf, your slim chance is equal to their slim chance. You still have that chance to get the house. Keep trying, you be surprised that your effort will eventually pay off. Someone has to win, and it's the same for every participant.

Have you seen how many people are bidding on houses? I'm certain that most of those people have been trying since the lottery started. Now, look at how many houses are available. "Keep trying and your effort will eventually pay off" is platitude.

Actually, no one outside SE has seen that number.
The number of bids isn't the same as the number of bidders: my spouse and I each placed three bids (using three characters each) on the house she won in Kugane@Faerie in the most recent round of the housing lottery.

We then verified, as we suspected, that you can't make your own alt characters tenants of a house your main character owns. although you can make someone else's. Eh.

I have no proof. The only Japanese Final Fantasy team member I knew tangentially I haven't seen nor spoken with since 2005.

However, these are public data points that now make it publicly trackable as to the demand for housing, especially larger housing. There's a good chance there will be a few more pointed questions asked at the next live letter.

I'm fairly new to the game (Started in 2021), but I've noticed that housing always was one of the most discussed topics ever since it got introduced. Be it players being excluded or the current system at any given time, they never seemed to get it right and if they made changes, it was years after.

Do you think, they care enough to fix it soon again?

Because I already gave up hope ever owning a house. I can only imagine how it must feel if you're a long time player.
Especially in an otherwise exceptionally well made game like FF14, this would bother me to no end.
