No. It's simple numbers. There are a finite number of housing plots. This number is MUCH smaller than the population on any server. Only a tiny fraction of a server's population will ever get to own a house.

You say that "occasionally" a plot opens up on your server. While that is technically better than the situation on higher pop servers, it is still far worse than what we should have. I mean, I can roll up a character in Rift or WildStar and have a housing plot of my own within a few hours of playing, that I can then customize to my heart's content. The only limit is how much gold I possess (well, and the 1,000 inside/1,000 outside item limit - soon to be 2500!) and I guess my own creativity. This is the kind of system we deserve in FFXIV, an ostensibly high quality, successful MMO.
