Elitist Housing Must Go. Every Single Player Should Have A House.

[Mr_Happy]

You had an option. There still larges open, I think 3. You should check https://zhu.codes/paissa when the 3rd round is up.
If you really want a house, you get a house. In the first round of the new wards, lots of M houses didn't even get bid on. I cannot count the M's that are still open. There alot.
Everything you say is just not true at all. Maybe not bidding on the S-tier places.

You seem to think we are on the same server? lmao

I'm not trying to come on here to argue with people or participate in toxic behavior either.

I'm simply on here advocating for more options for all the players.

Forums are one of the only ways to actually influence changes in a game and I thank you for all the support on this post

Unfortunately, "elitist" is the wrong word to be using here. House ownership isn't limited to the "elite". It's limited to the lucky.

I'll generally say the system is exclusive instead of inclusive, which is another of SE's goals. They want players to feel included. Creating something where supply is not sufficient to meet demand in not inclusive. Some would argue that everyone is included via FC houses or ability for others to add tenants but players aren't going to feel that they are when their access has to be granted by others and likewise can be removed by those others on a whim.

Right now, there are plots available. Most worlds still have plots left from the recent ward addition and relocations, and there will be a few more becoming available over the course of this month as demolition timers start to expire. But those plots will fill quickly on the heavily populated worlds and even the Dynamis worlds will end up filling over the course of the year (occupancy is already at 70% and gradually rising with each lottery). As we get into the latter part of 6.5 and players start returning for 7.0 (not to mention new players continuing to join the game), we'll probably be right back at where we were at Endwalker launch.

You actually just nailed it right on the head. Exclusive is exactly what it is.

I didn't know even Dynamis was filling up that fast. Insanity...

If you are really wanting a larger plot, the new wards on Dynamis have not opened up yet for bidding. As mentioned, Dynamis is still filling up but you still have a good chance to win a medium and even a large compared to the other data centers or you can wait until this summer (NA) for the other four worlds of Dynamis to open up.

if they wanna do this, they overhaul to overhaul the whole system. which means all furnitures that people have decorate it will be gone, and maybe people will get a refund.

but ofc they won't implementing this because they want players to keep subbing the game monthly

You have empty larges on your server???? Even with the addition of new larges every single one had tons of bids on our server. There was also not a single medium without bids on it in any of the lottery phases.

The comment about elitist housing market is to catch they eye of SE who openly advocates against elitism but then creates a system like this which is very contradictory.

I'm on here polling for every player to have the option/ability to own a house. Location doesn't matter at all to me either, I would take an instanced house and be perfectly happy with it.

Well that's not true....There was 3 mediums available in Goblet with no bids on them.

if you just want something to call your own and decorate, apartments seem pretty good to me. i've just recently started playing (been on the free trial since january, just upgraded) and am going for that over the houses, i think it'll scratch the sims 4-esque decorating itch.
that's not to say i don't want a house (plot 25 in the lavender beds, i will keep an eye on you until you go back into the lottery) , but i think that it's not necessary to enjoy the game, especially with how quickly they get snapped up. feels like the smalls are just the right size too tbh, they're cozy.
i wish there was more housing for individuals over fcs, but it is what it is and it seems like that isn't going to change anytime soon

Agreed - I was perfectly content with my little apartment, though I had been placing bids on small plots when they did pop up, though never rolled the lucky number on any of those. And had to just bid on whatever became available.

The new wards allowed a little more choice and I was able to bid on a plot I really wanted.

On Jenova? Def not or I would have one of them. The lowest bids on any med was 3-4. I bid on one of the lowest bid meds in the goblet.

Nothing has to be overhauled at all, just adding instance options would make it so every single player could have a house. Keeping the wards the way they are currently would be the easiest option.

There is a medium with 30 bids and a medium with 0. People need to stop being so picky.
