Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

By that logic people can easily just buy a story skip to ShB and get through EW in a day no? Story based reqs won't fix the issue either.

I mean, there already are story based requirements.

Shirogane came out during Stormblood, which meant you needed to be at least level 62 (when the cap was 70) in order to get a house there. 1/4th of all housing slots were locked off otherwise.
Likewise getting a house in Ishgard requires you to have completed Heavensward, so level 60.

Whichever new housing district we get is likely going to require a level of at least 81, as the prime candidates are likely Sharlayan or Thavnair.
