1.I'm not saying "Give Up". If I was, I would have typed that. I am pointing out that your desire for "instant housing" which should be INSTANCED, not INSTANT, is not going to happen, purely because SE makes more money with the system as it currently is. You're failing to see that (or choosing to ignore the fact that SE is a company known for its stubborn nature and its greed) and acting as if anyone pointing it out is trolling or a "quitter". Which is untrue in every aspect. Like I said in my first post on this thread, I would very much prefer people get housing so nobody is left out. But I know that won't happen, because SE is at the wheel. Many people before you have brought this up. Many people before you have spent every ounce of energy trying to fight for it. Many people before you have failed in doing so. To continue to fight for something, in some herculean delusion that it'll change makes you insane.
2. No. You're not "Fighting for hundreds and hundreds of people". You are part of a very vocal minority that demand change because they couldn't get what they want. That's not a bad thing, as the systems in place (especially with Lottery making it even easier to get involved.. Whole can of worms for another thread, methinks) certainly aren't on your side. But anyone / everyone that champions this "instanced housing or riot" argument continue to ignore what answers you've been given. (I know of ONE person that recognizes those answers and thats Jojoya)
When Lottery was introduced, XIV showed that they know there's an issue. They probably also looked into this very forum to see for ideas, or general guideposts. They chose Lottery because thats what people were screaming for. Now that Lottery was added, as per their requests, people hate it. Despite them being the reason it was introduced in the first place. I stand by my previous comments months ago, actively stating that Lottery won't help anyone and, shocker, It didn't. Your desire will not be met, so long as SE holds stubbornly to their "Neighborhood" desire for housing. Constantly calling each other trolls or going at each others throats for differing opinions doesn't help.
And, so long as SE remains that grip on Neighborhoods, your desire for INSTANCED housing is dead in the water. We can't really force SE to change their mind and constantly berating each other is never going to help. They need to fix the supply.. Granted, fixing the supply involves Instanced housing, since even with their upgraded servers and such, there's only so many wards the game can really handle per server before something snaps.
But the fact that "instanced housing" is the answer, it comes with a whole massive list of issues. Such as trying to make Instanced Housing in such a way that the Ward houses keep their appeal. Many people have discussed how ward houses keep said appeal and it differs, varying from "you can visit it in the real game world" to "making instanced housing have reduced crossbreeding". There's no clear consensus as to what people want outside of a house and by golly, they seem to want to do literally anything to get one. It's not so clear cut than people think.
And before any snarky comment about "Ward housing appeal". It's the older system, that SE wants to maintain. You best bet they want to keep the people who already own a house locked into that house. If Instanced housing was deemed "better" then SE loses out. No company would take that deal.
