Especially when other MMOs either have solved this problem already with instanced housing, and XIV’s biggest competitor is preparing to do so. It’s telling that just about every bullet point in their promos was addressing something people have complained about in XIV’s system.
This is going to be my last post on this matter, because it’s clear the other guy can’t (or won’t) read.

The issue isn’t about “plot availability” at all.
What these people want is ownership of medium and large houses and they refuse to acknowledge anything else (FC rooms, smalls, or apartments) as legitimate player housing.
That’s why they reject any narrative that doesn’t fit their own.

This whole circus only exists because someone with poor English and even worse reading comprehension decided to twist what I said.
My original statement was neutral and observational:

There is no “housing crisis.”
Small plots consistently go unbid, while all bidding activity is concentrated on mediums and larges.
That clearly shows people only want mediums and larges.

But instead of grasping that, he spun it into some nonsense argument, and he’s still running in circles.
On top of that, you’ve got one poster who keeps stirring things up just for “drama,” and another who thinks he’s being clever by throwing in shallow, snarky comments.
There’s no real drama here, and no real argument—just one guy failing at basic reading comprehension and lashing out because he doesn’t like what was said.
