Housing is the biggest load of crap

Because you're not directly paying for the system. You're paying for the transfer. Technically.

Like I can be subbed for housing, but that's not what I'm paying for. Im paying for access to XIV, not housing directly. (Your house doesn't get demolished w/o a subscription active. But it can be demolished with an active subscription as well. Which is why, they can say, housing isn't tied to your subscription, because technically it isnt, you need to go inside it at some point to keep it. But that requires a subscription at some point.)

Its all about how they de-fang your argument, by offering you an alternative. Like if you don't want to pay for a transfer, free transfers exist.

I am paying for both. I am paying for access to ALL of ffxiv. Not just "what luck will let me have".

why would i transfer off the world that both myself and my husband play on? why should i be required to pay more (or massively inconvienene myself) for this part of the game i am paying for?

Just stop licking the boots and realize the system is shit, and it needs to be dismantled and reworked.

Maybe we can start by purging all the "wards owned by one person" so there are more housing.

Applaus! Well said hun! *claps* <3 And i agree with you.

I've seen so much of 1 person owning an entire ward....

Or the constant *fluffing* about, oh just move worlds, or servers. Or ''Just get a small'' When even getting a small is a hard thing, due to RNG. so yeah. Trust me love i feel you.

But it is not required to have a current active subscription to keep your plot.)

Now this has to be the biggest boot-licking comment I have ever seen. Your arguments are:

- If server is dead, just transfer -> not square's fault
- If you can't get a house, just transfer -> no no it's not their crap system design
- If you have a house you won't lose it, but you need subscription but you also don't need it.

Biggest comment that equals to "leave this multi-billion company alone" meme.

You are paying subscription so you can access the whole damn game and square is trying to limit you from owning a house because their system is insanely bad. Anyone who denies this is a big shiller or someone who owns lots of plots and is happy that they can deny people from getting one.

They only require sub for this system because it's the only way to make you be subbed forever or they will lose lots and lots of players.

I understand folks frustration with the FF XIV housing system. Ultimately your not "entitled" to a housing plot...heck not even a apartment. That's a feature not a bug. FFXIV is pretty transparent that not all players will ultimately be on equal footing - only that they will all have the same chances at success. Every lotto is the same chances for every person and what you might want won't be in every lotto and some will take longer then others.

With a few VERY small exceptions every world still always has homes up every lotto - whether you are 1 of 3 bids or 1 of 2000000 bids - your chances of winning are still the same as every other bidder. The people that may own multiple plots are not bad actors - merely successful which is proof that the system is not as impossible as those frustrated would believe.

I JUST LOOOOOOOOOVE .... the broken and useless lottery on FF for a house.

BID ON A LARGE = Loss.

BID on MED = Loss.

BID ON SMALL = loss...

bit on smalls they say.... fluff fluff i say.

There is NO GUARANTEED with a small either. so whoever said ''bid on smalls' can shove it.
