So you are not even through half of the game and already start crying about housing? Have some patience.

"People who haven't finished MSQ aren't allowed to make the same critiques everyone else makes about the housing system" is a direction I didn't expect this thread to go in, but knock yourselves out with the gatekeeping I suppose.

It is about patience, they can get a apartment already and join a FC and get a room there too. They will get their house for sure before they finish the MSQ, which is my point.

And what do you mean with gatekeeping? I don't think they shouldn't get a house and hey they can voice their opinion freely on the forums, same as you and same as me. There is no gatekeeping in that.

In my opinion houses are a prestige thing in the game, you don't need it. It's the same as getting a rare drop and parading around with it. That is how the asian players see it at least. That's why we have open wards and not instanced housing. And for that prestige there needs to be grind ofc otherwise the price would be worthless. And with the roulette now you don't have to stand at the plot for a whole day at least.

there need to be a better way

first-come-first-served was bad, then invisible timer was bad, then lotto was bad.



...it's not exactly new thought in my head. but i have this glaring suspicion that fixing/changing this system won't bring us to housing utopia.


instanced houses, yeah yeah, keep on asking for those. i wish you good luck, i really do, though I couldn't care less personally.

me? i would welcome apartment update very very happily. meanwhile i work on my hunt for large house with 0 stress, because house =//= worth the stress and anxiety and loathing.

good luck, house hunters

Because everyone was looking at those things to be a solution and yet none of them address the underlying problem:

Supply

Instanced housing can address the supply problem but SE needs to acknowledge that when someone says "housing", they're after a house and not an apartment.

Or option 2 : Just accept that housing supply is limited on purpose because it's something that not everyone is meant to have.

I know, that idea is crazy to yall, but if they wanted to "fix" the supply, it would have been done a long time ago.

I know the supply is limited. I don't have problem with limited supply.
I have always found the chances tolerable.

I look at it as one element of this house acquiring game. So the supply is limited, I never might get house. Do I still want to join in the fray?
I adjust my expectations and consider my chances at the limits of the supply.

And go about my day.

Should I want to change the rules/elements of the game? Brute force my victory? I just want to add that I am equally ambivalent about people who do want instances. Maybe amused by those who want to change the acquiring system again and again.

house =//= worth the stress and anxiety and loathing.

good luck, house hunters
