Okay, so, there are 60 plots in each ward, 8 wards, in all 3 districts. That means 1,440 plots to cover every player and guild on the server. This isn't enough, obviously (maybe Square didn't really anticipate their own success or how stacked the servers get). I understand that, though I think that's stunningly poor design given the quality of the rest of the game.

But buying and selling plots between players is also illegal according to the terms of service. Unless one is spending their time sitting on a housing list just scrolling around and waiting for a plot to go blank, how is someone supposed to get a plot? I'm not understanding how Square envisioned newer players getting a housing plot.

I really hope this gets fixed. I'm really ready to commit to this game, but I feel like this huge chunk of it is off limits, especially if I want to play with my family on Gilgamesh.
