Everyone stop it... Players and Staff.

Congratulations on cherry picking whatever part of my post served you most, and discarding the rest. Criticism does not have to be constructive. Criticism is criticism.

A "level headed" person wouldn't defend a company without objectivity or question. No, what you want isn't "level headed", what you want is "apologetic", you want light, kid glove covered, mealy criticism.
Argue my point if you must, but your commentary on how I deliver it, is irrelevant. It was the truth. We're paying for their problem. Just like Diablo 3 players suffered because of Blizzard's problems with RMT.

What I want is people who have a base level of logic and reason and not a herd-mentality "X person says this sucks so I agree and this is the reason because I was told it was" 'criticism'.

Yoshi's own words prove me right. There isn't enough server space. Or is that too anecdotal?

No not anecdotal, just plain wrong.

Our fundamental stance toward housing prices was that we wanted to ensure that plots would be evenly distributed, avoiding a situation in which the wealthiest players could easily buy up all available plots of land. Please understand that while we will be adding servers and expanding housing areas as soon as we can, it is simply physically impossible for us to accomplish this easily, in a matter of one or two weeks.

If the initial price of land was easily within the means of wealthy players, one can envision all available plots of land being snatched up immediately, leaving other players—even those possessing the necessary gil—unable to purchase land for an extended period of time. Seeking to avoid this, we made the difficult decision to go forward with the pricing scheme we presented, aware that many players would be unable to afford housing for a while.

The quoted section is above. This doesn't mean there isn't ENOUGH server space, it means there is a limit to which wealthy players could abuse the system if it was not maintained from the beginning.
