Time to Restart Housing Demolition

[Kenky]

No, I want evidence the ANY of them are FFXIV subscribers who have a house in the game. The only Ukrainian player anyone has brought up is back streaming the game.

You need to stop manufacturing victims that don't exist just to push your agenda.

Ah, yes. Out of hundreds, if not thousands of refugees that nobody truly knows what they do in their free time (and likely nobodys about to ask them. Kind of pointless at present) there's ONE person who is back to streaming, as they got lucky and able to not be in a Refugee camp.

Well, since that one singular person is okay, that means everything's all daijobu and no longer need to empathize. Dear god, you are sounding less and less like a human being as you continue to post. To the point I'm even hesitating to consider you "Human" with your outright lack of care.

And I'm not "manufacturing victims that don't exist". I'm pointing out that, if there -were- a large population of Ukraine players that could no longer get their house and auto-demo was turned on. That would release.. What, a couple of houses? Maybe up to half a ward at most? Only on EU servers and your chances are still next to zero, as you'd have to wait upwards of two, if not three months for them to even show up on the Lottery list, then another 2+ weeks for you to be told no.

Stop gunning for houses. Stop gunning for people owning said houses. Push for fairness for all, or shut up. Instanced Housing would fix this. I've already gone on record to say it's unlikely to occur, given SE is at the wheel and I can guarantee most people know SE isn't a charity. They won't put tons of effort into something they know won't pay off in the long-term. That is sadly one of the downsides of Instanced Housing.

With no chance of losing your house, people no longer need to keep their subs running / entering the game to up the player count. Which means during lulls, SEs bottom line will tank. As a company, they want to avoid that. Which makes somewhat sense that they are continuing to put resources into expanding the Wards, rather than going Instanced. But there's only so many Wards they can make before they literally hit a brick wall. Island Sanctuaries, despite it having next to nothing to do with Housing, I feel comes as a 'test' of sorts. See how much it's used and how long it keeps players engaged.

Who knows? If Sanctuaries do well enough, they could add onto the Island Sanctuaries by allowing the players to build a player home -on- said island. (And that comes with all of the benefits of owning said house.) as they could tie it into a capstone quest of some sort. It'd allow everyone the ability to benefit from housing (Provided they complete the quest-chain) and Ward-Houses keep their "neighborhood appeal". They could easily do this with apartments too, but I feel I'm already a tad too wishful.
