Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

If they did that they'd never hear the end about how they're scamming the playerbase. The mogshop is already a point of contention as it is.

To who? and why? The mogstation items suck, lmao. They're totally inconsequential. You're not aware of how awfully received the Gaia outfit is? It's one of the laziest ports they've ever added, it's not about the money. They simply are just too lazy to add dozens of other npc outfits as well, because they can barely even be bothered to make more than 10 unique sets of armor per expansion. People do stuff like this in their spare time for fun and it probably doesn't count as a FTJ.

Good vision, poor execution. It can work but they should have waited.

Waited for what?

Being able to afford things others can't is a privilege

No it isn't, but I'm not going to argue with you about the world in general or what working people do with their money being a privilege. You're allowed to reply again in this line and I'll ignore it without debating you because no matter what you say you're wrong.

and as far as being grateful, it's a two way street. The playerbase should be grateful the developers released something they can enjoy and the developers should be grateful the players enjoy it.

If Square Enix didn't make Final Fantasy XIV, I wouldn't be here complaining about it. I'd play something else with my friends since it theoretically wouldn't exist for anyone else with more attachment than I do to miss it.

I have been 100% supportive of completely revamping the housing system to fix supply issues since forever

I'll admit I was nitpicking, because as you can see page per page, people like to come up with solutions that continue to ruin it for swathes of the playerbase by maintaining the status quo or not thinking long term. So when I saw "try" my most immediate thought was "This person thinks the lottery is good, specifically because it was better than placard spamming" I apologize. I've been having a ton of fun with Dwarf Fortress and I'm distracted, and just annoyed that there's no alleged end in sight to this bullshit, and the people who are apathetic about it love to defend their insular forum communities against any kind of criticism against SE when it's their problem to fix. Also, I hit my post limit yesterday simulating a unamicable divorce from FFXIV small houses for their impotence. I even plagiarized my apology letter; now you have a sincere one.

To people like you who believe that because they pay a subscription they should have access to everything the game has to offer. The idea that any items made should be in game and not a seperate sale.

Waited for what?

Waited for it to be finished instead of rushing it because people were demanding it.

Agree to disagree then and just because you do doesn't make me wrong.

Yet you're here, which means you're enjoying it for the most part. If not then, as you said, would be playing something else.

Well for one, the assets already exist if an NPC is wearing it; there's just a decent chance that it doesn't function as seperate gear pieces, depending. Would I pay for something like Garlean armor, because I think it looks cool? Yes. It'd require them to model it for one or two other races though, so they won't. They also likely wouldn't seperate it into the appropriate slots.

I have no idea where you got this idea that people shouldn't have to pay for a special cosmetic item; or that I would be someone arguing alongside them. What I'm arguing is that they did a shit job doing it and did it in the laziest way possible. You'll notice my problem with them is relatively consistent because it's obvious how little they put back into the game, even if they could sell it. The fact that they basically did without actually creating a new asset or seperating any of the pieces shows that it was a total cash grab; its bad because it's bad, not because it costs money. The point I'm driving across is that they're lazy and they handle things in the lazy way, not that I care. I can't fucking wear it anyway lol

Finished to what extent? You're saying its unfinished? What would it look like if it was finished?

You must be really new here if you've never seen multitudes of threads about people complaining about items on the cash shop costing extra. But W/E, that's neither here nor there.

Like making sure they have enough wards to accomodate a growing player base and ensuring people couldn't abuse the system to buy multiple houses.

We already hit that point right now. On your spriggan new wards are half empty. Even in a desirable location like Mists there are large and medium FC houses that remain empty not to mention dozens of small houses available to regular players. It's the same on older, more active servers like Loui or Ragnarok.

He thinks there's already enough. He's trying to annoy me in particular. Don't worry, he doesn't believe anything he says. He will literally say anything and contradict the shit out of himself just to divert the blame away from its source.

[Corvus_V]

Good for you?

Point being I don't sit here and browse every single thread just to post contrarian shit because I don't have anything to prove. I'm glad they hire people like you.

It was empty when we transfered and filled up aft-

We already hit that point right now.

Maybe you guys can iron this out instead.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case everywhere; and people aren't bidding on smalls because they're inadequate anyway. People shouldn't have to move to foreign data centers to get any size house, and they especially shouldn't have to do it for a small.

You just post contrarian shit because you can apparently.

So anyone who disagrees with you is automatically associated with Squeenix. OK.

I was refering back to when housing was first implemented. There may be enough now, but there were barely 25 wards per location at first.

Been following your response I wish more people where out spoken about having square continue to improve the lottery system instead of settling with it current forum.

True - the Large plot oposite-right my Small was snapped up, as was the one oposite-above at the top of the steps - in fact, I talked to the friendly couple who were bidding on it and were 'standing guard' (for lack of a better term) over it during the hours leading the the auction period ending!

However the two small plots nearest mine are still free and had no bids last time I looked (yesterday).
