The Housing Black Pill. Truth Hurts. /Housing Salt General/

[Drakengarde]

The ward system was in essence perfectly fine up until Stormblood as houses were for FC only. When people wanted personal plots that is when things became chaotic. When square developed the housing system it did not have in mind for personal owned plots and only fc but this changed for stormblood and thus the housing crisis. The only way they can keep the housing ward system sustainable is A. Release more wards over time or B. release more worlds. The will not make housing instance, I and many others know this so those who keep suggesting it give it up will not happen they are deadset on the way it currently is and will not change it. As some people mentioned if truly want a house make an alt make a fc and try and win a plot on a new world.

The ability to purchase a house for personal use was added in patch 2.38, not in Stormblood.

SE was somewhat foolish to think there would less demand for personal houses than there would be for FC houses. They should have planned for personal from the start.

We know they prefer the wards, but that was also before the player base had the massive growth we've seen in the past couple of years. No matter their original preference, the system isn't sustainable with a player base this size and that may move them to change design.

Thanks for the correction. But yes it was an oversight on their part for not taking people wanting personal housing. And at this point they can just keep doing what they are and making island sanctuary more impressive as time goes on
