    I detect a little salt. Looks like one special vulture didn't get the plot she was camping <3 So lets take out our rage on the undeserving bystanders.

    I camped at MY chosen plot of land against 8 people, for 50 hours straight. That is MORE than taxing enough, both literally and figuratively. More houses are coming, just hunker down and wait. In the time you're spending being sour about it, think about the advantage you now possess!

    You have up to 6 months to continue gathering/saving money. Instead of that small you were after, how about a medium? Were you getting a medium? Shoot for the stars, go big or go home! Get a large!

    Ishgard homes are coming soon, be the first to have a snow-home.

    There's no reason to be bitter. I went into this thinking there was no way I'd get a house, and I got lucky...but even if I hadn't, I'd have just sold my medium mog-walls and started saving for that large. ...and maybe bought myself a treat on MB.

    Dear god why?

    The earliest they could have possibly been up (when the server came up today) was less than 15 hours before they actually did. Why would you have started late Tuesday night? What madness grips you?

    Because there were already campers forming up at that time. Balmung's housing market is as cut-throat as Black Friday Sales. You either beat someone senseless with your shopping cart, or you go homeless.

    I am also rather annoyed by people who hoard or buy houses and just hold them against people or sell them for outrages prices, but going on about 'punishing' those owners by taxing them or other crazy implementation to get them kicked out as soon as possible for something that's going to instantly get snatched anyways since housing is so in demand is dumb.

    And now that I myself own a house, I don't make a lot of gil in general, I have no interest to craft, and I want to return the money back to my friends who helped me, what is going to happen if there's a 1-2 mil tax going around? I get a house for us and then what? Lose it a month later, work my ass, or mooch off my friends who need their money for their own projects to make ends meet? I think that would make me rather sad.
