gutted

[Aivi_lo]

Finally saved up enough for a small house but there are not any to buy. I should have just done rmt like everyone else to get enough. Play at your own pace, don't live your life on here...etc. No it doesn't support that at all. I'm angry and pissed off. I have a job and a family in real life. Why shouldn't I be able to work towards a house on here? All the housing junk they've been giving away with all the events I've been faithfully saving up until I could get my own house, well that's a nice kick in the face.


I've builta bridge for all you trolls

They just need to open up more housing instances, though I'm not sure when they will.

This is really all I want.
At this point, the whole thing feels very short sighted.

[Edeline]

I agree that more people should have access to owning houses as there are thousand of players and very limited areas. But I don't agree when people use the "I have a job, family, whatever" argument. Most people do. It's your personal life, everyone has their own and SE didn't develop the game to suit it best for yourself. People with jobs, families and whatnot still managed to get houses. I'm all for the "give us more housing spots please" form, but please don't use your personal status as an excuse for how a game works for everyone else. Just my opinion.

That aside, I agree, we need more plots :]

Maybe you should have built yourself a house instead!

I'm I'm saying that's how it works for me. I don't spend my entire life on here and those are my reasons, my real life is not an excuse, sad you think it is. I can mention my life how I choose without you needing to censor it.

I'm not calling your life an excuse. Using it to criticise a game aspect, however, is using it as an excuse. Everyone has their own life, some easier than others, but you chose to play the game the way it is knowing it, and the developers didn't make a game to exclusively please YOU, and people still managed their time and their lives with it. We don't complain we have no plots because we didn't have time to get enough money, because even if everyone had the same amount of gil, plots are still limited and not everyone would be able to get one, because there are very limited plots.

The way you phrase it, it's totally an excuse. And for some odd reason also trying to blame others for the way they play the game.

With all this content being locked behind housing, they really need to do something about it. It's really going to suck for the new players that heavensward will bring in.

Chocobo color
Gardening
Buffs
group crafting
airship and Sky content
FC Summons
Aetherial Wheel

All locked behind a first-come-first-serve wall for content SE has repeatedly said is "only casual"

All of which is available in a FC house. Which is off-topic?
Not sure what you are referring to as ''group crafting'' tho.

But you can only take 1mil with you, or scout and buy items that will hopefully give you back your hard earned money if you play the market boards. Not an optimal solution.

You can make lots of gil with that actually. Seen a few people do just that. (there's been a guy with 60+ MDs on my mb)

Every time someone offers this as a solution to the problem, a nest full of baby nutkins gets squished by a Behemoth.

Also, I facepalm.

As would I, but then I realise that people buy minions and etc for far more (total) then the price of changing servers...and a house is kind of a bigger form of vanity item then minions?

Not because of the price, though. Because the solution itself is not one. It's a massive, and pretty much unacceptable compromise. I'm waiting for more housing to be added so I can get a house with my FC, right now. Should I ask them all, and all of the friends I've made in the last two years, to transfer to a different server so I can get my FC a home?

That's a completely unreasonable idea.

That stymies the creation of New FC's, Join an existing one or play the Russian roulette of housing. Does nothing if SE is expecting an influx of new players with Heavensward. Our FC is a close knit group of RL friends, we don't have a FC house (but we do have the money for a medium) and dont want to be absorbed by another FC just for the sake of housing. Our own choice i realize but this does not excuse the lack of available houses, first-come-first-serve is a terrible way to do any major content like this. Could you imagine what would happen if Relic Weapons were treated like this? Only the first 1500 people to get their relic weapon get one, the rest have to wait for those people to sell, discard, or trade out their relic weapon.

Group Crafting is the new content coming in Heavensward where FC's build an airship in their basement and then can use it to explore new areas with RNG items and content. Yay for being locked out of that!

Its a chance too and not an optimal way to solve this problem. It still does nothing for new players or people who werent there the second the servers went live. I tried but had issues logging in for the first hour at which point i saw on the forums that my server had literally sold out of plots. I gave up and went to bed since it was 4am...

PS: I'm sure more wards will be coming with 3.0 but will it be enough? Is the current system good for personal homes? should the personal home be changed to a different system to free up the wards for FC housing? will the additional wards go to the servers where they are needed or be a blanket addition leaving some servers still full up while others have whole wards that are empty, wasting the resources.
