How many people have multiple houses?

1.) One of the typical responses to the Mateus incident is that the plots lay vacant for ages, so why should people care? That's hogwash. SE didn't time their transfer windows for a quiet mid-expansion cycle; they timed it for an expansion launch. There were countless returning players, freshly interested in FFXIV, who were likely also freshly interested in housing. Now, they don't have options anymore, on Mateus at least. That's ridiculous. If it were six months into Stormblood, I think this line of defence would be valid, but given the timing of SE's incentives, it's not applicable.

I don't support the idea of players owning an entire ward. But waiting for a free transfer does not excuse the people complaining from their own laziness or priorities, if you want a house and know plots are free on another server then move. Don't wait for a free transfer move then gripe cause plots are no longer open.
