Housing lottery system takes entirely too long and is poorly designed.

They make it pathetically difficult to get a house at all and I find that to be on purpose but I won't lie, its the reason I am already considering quitting after only a month and a half.

It is not difficult to get a house in FFXIV. There is an overabundance of housing on the four new Dynamis DC servers. If player housing is that important to you, then you need to transfer to one of those servers. You shouldn't have joined a well established server expecting to have easy access to the housing system.

Bingo. OP joined an old, established, high-pop realm. And so OP has to deal with it.

When I data-center travel to visit my friends, I will sometimes check on the status of residential districts and I am blown away by the availability of plots.

If you want a house, if you -really- want a house, then there are methods of acquiring one.

But beggars can't be choosers.

I've been playing in Leviathan since beta.

I'll be damned I switch servers just to appease a function of this game that should be provided to all.

Stop allowing fake accounts, bot accounts, and shell-FCs from placing bids.


Don't allow bids by accounts less than one year old.

So any new player that comes to the game shouldn't have a hope of getting a plot any times soon?

The community asked for a fair chance at getting a plot they got one.It's not the dedicated few you're competing against anymore, but the casual many that asked to be considered for. And they got exactly that.

HOUSING is provided to all who want to participate in it. So you can't say that a housing is unavailable to you.

The game doesn't grant you a PLOT. But nobody was granted one.

But keep responding on these forums like I anyone would really give a damn.

Housing has been an issue since launch of housing.

Housing became more of a nightmare since the "anticipated fix".

Housing has been nothing but a blight on this game since day one.


But let's keep pointing the blame at anyone but the one's who continue letting it be problem.



White knights everywhere. I hope Squeenix is reimbursing you, defending them so simply.

Every change housing got was a request from the players themselves...

Players asked for the demo timer

Players asked for Apts

Players asked for a lottery.

The solution to shell FCs is to detach the workshop from FC houses. Make it a room at the headquarters of whatever GC the FC is associated with.

It wont make a dent in availability. You highly underestimate those who are collecting specific plots. The Subgil is just a bonus on top to fuel those desires.
Those plots wont magically abonded if your suggestion would become reality.
