Chances at a house before next expansion?

[ScarletSkys]

Hmmmmm, what to do is the quandary. Like many, myself and other members of my FC have been trying to get a house via the new system and been unsuccessful, so what's the answer?

Like some have said, you could wait for the new DC's and swop, leaving your long established FC and friends behind.... doesn't speak to a sense of loyalty or honour to abandon one's friends for housing/garden.

It was hoped the new Island Sanctuary might provide a solution, and whilst I'm still interested to see what it brings, it was a source of major disappointment to myself and many others, when the opportunity to let everybody have a house/garden of their own was missed, so sadly that was a road not taken.

Then there's the question of auto-demolition.... for goodness sake, bring it back!! If someone is no-longer active, then let someone who is active enjoy the full benefits of the game. As many have said, housing maybe the real 'end game' for FFXIV, so let everybody have the opportunity to enjoy it.

Similarly, open up new housing areas... yes this takes more resource etc, but surely enough people are subscribed to the game to make this warranted and affordable. I anticipated that Old Sharl would have been a great place when Endwalker started, but that didn't happen. Similarly, other areas might be considered, e.g. Drav Hinterlands maybe.

For those of you who were lucky enough to get housing today, gratz and enjoy. For those of us who didn't, we'll continue to try, but anticipate that more folk will become disenfranchised if SE don't do anything to address this major issue with, what is otherwise, a great game.
