Merry Christmas everybody!

Proud long-time owner of a medium house here checking in to say that we really need more houses in-game. Most everyone agrees that owning a player house is something that should require time and effort, but for many people it is just impossible because there are never housing slots available for purchase. Everyone deserves a house if they want to put the work into making the gil--and right now, that basic level of fairness is simply impossible.

Demand for housing has not been met, S-E, no matter what information you have to the contrary.

The screenshot above shows Rare-Ex on Balmung server having bought houses to resell for much higher prices. It also shows a bunch of joke/troll comments below it, ridiculing it. But think for a moment--even if *all* of this were a community joke or troll, it would be a joke about the fact that there are a lot of people who want a house and can't get one, right? The situation just has to be fixed.

The land reclamation feature is a good start, but this screenshot shows how it either could be instantly abused, or how it already *has* been instantly abused. I think the only way to prevent this sort of price gouging is just to put way more houses in than the demand--and that's a long way off.
