Remove FC housing entirely

[Jojoya]

I have never in my life seen a single person express this. Outside of periods where the demo-timer is off, housing is always viable to acquire.

Then it's clear you don't read through all the posts in this forum. Many have expressed they believe housing to be a prestige system that not everyone should have access to.

And no, demolition has done little to make housing viable to acquire when the overall supply of plots has always been fair less than the demand.

I lost my first house through demolition when I was unable to play for 9 weeks back at the start of Stormblood (I got back barely in time to reclaim my gil and furnishings from the Resident Caretaker). There was zero housing available at my return. I was thinking to myself "Okay, then I'll wait for Shirogane to open to get another house, that's only a couple of months away." Couldn't get a house when Shiro opened, not even from the plots in other districts vacated by those who relocated to Shirogane.

I did finally get my house in 4.2 and still have the same plot today. But that's because SE increased the number of available plots by 50%, not because of demolition.

Demolition does help keep a small number of plots circulating back into the system but it has never made it viable for everyone who wants a house to get one except on the low population worlds. And none of the NA worlds are low population.

It sucks because it still has exploitable loopholes that are being abused.

It sucks because if SE had designed a proper housing system in the first place, there would be no restrictions to get abused.
