Potential Housing Crisis Fix (Includes ability for permanent Housing (Sm, Med, Lrg)

[EmilySummerstar]

You are not owed a house by playing the game and paying your sub fee, in fact you are owed absolutely nothing.

Right? It's just absurd to expect game content when paying for game content.

Apartments exist, instanced housing is already in the game.

Is that one of the things I'm absolutely not owed?

I'm fortunate enough to have inherited a cottage from when my FC had to scrape together Gil to buy one. I love decorating and redecorating. It's activity that has kept me in the game.

I enjoy having the creative outlet that is housing. I love seeing creativity that others are willing to share. I don't have issue with allowing more people that experience.

Good, they have apartments, those are super cheap and dont require lottery, it's the instanced housing people are asking for.

But as to your question, no you are not owed apartments either, because the game has ultimates doesnt mean I am owed a spot in an ultimate static.

[EmilySummerstar]

Paying for game content and getting absolutely nothing would be quite charitable. But I'll be reasonable and assume that's not what you actually meant. I understand that there is a lot of luck and a bit of tact that must go into earning anything in this game but as with all things meant to be sustainable, this has to be within reason.

I'll admit that I was very lucky to have inherited my cottage. That being said, I've also been playing since 2014, have 10 digit figure in terms of gil and bidding since 2019 without success. There has to be some middle ground between having a one room hab-unit and something more. Finally, I don't think it unreasonable to make suggestions for something better from a service I'm paying for anyway.

I've certainly benefited from the system that rewards a lack of other participants when it comes to bidding (being on the dead data center that I am), but I still want the system fixed for other people so they can have THEIR house(s) too, and preferably on their data center of choice.

If opening up an infinite generating amount of wards or outright instance housing causes even more people to leave Dynamis for Aether/Primal/Crystal, so be it, maybe it'll spur Square-Enix to merge Dynamis into the other three thus giving us healthy queues ON TOP of making our 8 worlds viable transfer destinations instead of worlds to avoid. Alternately, I would be 100% okay with them nerfing gil farming from FC houses (it not removing it completely) if it'll mean all of those shell FCs dying off. Hell, even my own FC house wouldn't be worth holding onto (though I would keep the actual FC for the Company Chest).

I agree and I would be ok with removing Gil farming from FC plots since I use my FC for my alts to share a home. If only they allowed all of our characters to use our personal plots, I would even consider letting go of my FC plot if they remove Gil farming and create a chest similar to the FC chest you can use for all of your characters to share things with. They should just let our alts create their own bedrooms to use that would be the same as FC rooms in our personal homes.
