Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

Unless SE changes more NA worlds to Congested so there's little choice other than Dynamis, I would expect to see the Xbox players primarily going to Aether for raiding or Primal for PvP.

Really hoping they do make Crystal congested again at least. They should have been funneling all the new players to Dynamis since the last time they marked us as congested. Let the different worlds there form their own “personalities” and “specialties.” Beyond the lack of housing, DC travel making this DC the raiding DC, this one PvP, this one RP is really killing the party finders for anything that doesn’t fit that mold.

Unfortunately, that's a player generated problem. It doesn't make any difference what SE does, those "specialty tags" are going to stick as long as players choose to apply them.

If players want things to be different, they're going to have to work to change it.

Balmung and Mateus specifically should probably be hard-locked as Congested for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely agree with this

"Adding more wards means more instances and servers"

Also Squeenix:
Added instanced island with its own game mode in it for every player that has unlocked it.

You dont have to have a masters in computer science to know that Island Sanctuary is very costly in the terms of instances compared to other game modes in the game.

Houses need to be scarce because thats the only thing that keep them valuable. If everyone has a house and can get one at will at anytime, demolition timer means nothing and theres no reason to keep subbing when you dont feel like playing the game. Dear SE, you want to retain active subs? add game modes people want to play at least once a month. Not by forcing them to login so they dont lose their house.

need more players... it funny when the houses are calling out to you too

The sad reality, is people hate the current housing system, but it was the one players requested, since they were losing out to people who had 14 hours a day to placard click. The system is the most accessible its ever been. But it seems the accessibility to all is what is frustrating some people since its accessibility reduces their chances of getting a house since more people can partake.

Apts are housing, but not housing people who are willing to settle for the time being? Theyd rather have nothing at all over an apartment. Which doesn't help their case when you need the data to show their is a demand for housing itself, rather then a demand for a large plot/prime plots. There needs to be a demand and not just nitpicking over a specific size or location. Because 3 small FC plots were open for like a month in the Mist with no bids, 2 were purchased by people who specifically made a FC to level up to squat on them and 1 (beachside) was legit purchased.

that's where this thread and i are different , i like the old system , yes i clicked for 15 hours on my days off , and i did it , and when i saw a clicking bot , i reported them , but now you have a lotto system that has 100 people bidding on a house what makes your chance of getting it a 1%, you don't know if they are a player multi-boxing for it, you have to wait a whole week to have another go , not like the old system if you miss out there was a house down the road you could start on. but even if they added 10 or 20 more wards , on a high populated server your chance of getting one would be still be low. with a server that only cover 1/3 of the population and with player that can have a house and a fc on there alts and main for 8 toon per accounts . good luck on a high populated server , your ship has sailed start swimming

No thank you, people with free time and bots using the old clicking system is much worse because people like me who rarely have a day off don't have the same luxury of clicking for 15 hours. At least the lotto gives everyone a chance and bots are useless too, I won my current home through the lotto out of 45 people, so the lotto works.

i think both of them have there pro and cons , i didn't do clicking every day too , i have to work as well . i just didn't have to wait a whole week to find out i lost just to go see the new owner and get my gil back, i just move on to the next house on the same day if there was another. but both way have bot problem , it just with the click bot it was obvious , they would keep clicking after they have won or lost
