Current Housing Issue

[AeraLure]

There is no way to argue against a fault in the system being obvious when there is a clear shortage of housing and the ability to buy more than one per account remains. SE completely FUBARed housing imho and created the situation well before demolition even became a thing.

Also, aside from that, Christmas is a holiday wherein a lot of players were away from the game with family. That is NOT the day to make housing available since quite a few people who wanted housing were not able to be on. I can't even begin to figure the thinking on SE's part on that one.

It's easy they weren't thinking anything. Much like all things housing related foresight and planning or even actually caring to work on a proper system in the first place isn't very high on their to do list.

first off jenova server has been bugged and cant get housing despite waiting for over 30 hours after the demo of houses. second i pay to play this game so dont tell me to take it easy. i get there isnt enough housing and i get that people just sell them but at least they opened when they said they would. on jenova server right now people are at each others throats fighting for land plots for over 30 hours. yes its just a game but we expect when they say things will be available they will be and no response for over 30 hours of a major bug is unnacceptable when they make over 60 million a month. lastly if i pay to play this game i have my right to my own opinion and this is just wrong.

Don't hold your breath on a response unlikely to hear anything over the weekend.

I am almost positive that the dev team is fully aware of the housing situation right now. But just in case they aren't I would like to reinforce this thread and many others in the sense that something absolutely needs to be done about this. It was poorly implemented to begin with, especially when "personal housing" came out and was essentially the same thing as FC housing but you didn't need to be the leader of an FC to buy one.

This whole housing reclamation system was also a huge failure timing wise and implementation. People being able to buy multiple houses on ult characters or whatever was just an awful idea. I also agree houses shouldn't have been allowed to be sold by players especially when there is not enough houses to go around. It has created a horrible community image with people selling small plots worth 5 million or less for 50 million instead just because there is none left and they can get away with it.

I am pretty disappointed in SE about this. Of course I love this game and I will still play and support it as long as I can. But it is our right as users of FFXIV to post on these forums in hopes to create change where change is needed.

I wish some of this drama was occurring on my server, it would have been fun to watch while I was meticulously fertilizing my blood pepper plants.

You could, but be careful what you wish for. Ostensibly, you could be just as down and out as others in the thread. Nothing was ever so guaranteed on more crowded servers.

Any update on jenova?

Sorry the comparison but the houses should be like GTA or skyrim. You will receive houses on main quests/dungeons/raids with the game progress. The fair way it's to everyone get a house. Everyone pay for the game, so everyone deserve it.

I am so sad I forgot the day that houses were put back up on the market. It's hilarious to see some of those who were saying "We need housing reclamation, it's not fair for unused plots to be wasted!" to now be selling plots for a profit. I wish I was here for all of the excitement as many people without houses still don't have them, some people who got them are now trying to sell them, and on top of those two aspects that already existed being made all the more raw and aggravating, now some people lost their homes.

Seems like an all around horrible thing to have done. To anyone who actually got a house -and- uses it, congratulations. To everyone else who supported this idea and still got shafted, don't worry, SE still has your money and still doesn't care.
