Can we as paying customers agree the lack of Housing is simply unacceptable to SE?

[Riktus]

Last spare me excuses as too why you can't log in for 5 minutes too check a list, no one is so busy they can not do this simple task. Not trying to offend anyone but saying you can't spare 5 minutes is not acceptable.

You're assuming people don't already do this and you're assuming it's just that easy to spend 5 minutes a day and boom you have a house. I check all three housing areas multiple times per day, every single day for months now and have literally never seen an open plot on Hyperion.

You do realize that they boot the players out of the Housing Zone when they are unlocking the purchase option, right? There were people who tried to do same attempt for 2.3, and they were sent back out of the zone.

Also, even if it did work - this only works for Ward 1 for Shirogane. Not for other 11 wards since they are just completely locked.

I was refering to the lavender,mist and Goblet. I am aware trying to do what I mentioned would not work with Shirogane yet. As before its not the best option but if you are determined that's one way too approach it.

I did state depending on your realms population. If you are on a high pop realm then there is no point in doing it as open plots vanish too quickly.

I find it boggling that they keep pushing new housing features over dealing with how little of the player base can actually acquire a house. I really don't want to hear SE pleading poverty over server space: what are we paying our subs for? Where'd all your cash shop money go?

And I suppose any kind of scaleable system so housing supply can scale with demand would just blow the developers minds as being too complicated and hard.

The ONLY reason I am a bit bitter about 4.1's update in regards to housing is because they didn't add wards more than they needed to. But their excuse probably was related to swimming + relocation system being implemented. So I am hoping they won't say something like this again for 4.2 or 4.3. They already relocated their data centers for better stable connection and server base. So they need to start working on this.

The relocation feature actually made housing even worse. Not only are you competing against people who don't have housing at all and giving them a shot at possibly getting a plot, but now you're competing with people who already have housing and who get a baked in advantage in the form of a 30% discount on their existing plot. Why are people who have been denied the ability to own a plot due to SE's inaction actually at an even further disadvantage because now they are fighting with people who actually have housing AND get a 30% discount?

All of 4.1's Launch Content can be completed in 8 hours or less. I'm simply going to complete this patch's content, let my subscription lapse and wait until SE decides to actually fix their housing issue if I can't get a house because of their lack of solutions. They bragged about having triple the budget of Heavensward but yet why are we not getting more housing? Did the marketing campaign for Mrs. Freshly's really break the bank?

There is no reason to support a dev team that basically has shown utter contempt for their player base by not addressing this issue but rather prioritizes DYEABLE GEAR, Chinese Cash Shop items that will come here (only if you beg them enough), Jump Potions for Retainers and just today the below. All of this garbage that no one asked for and not a peep about additional Wards?

[Tanama]

Was it mentioned before that the EU data center exists because of the extra income that was earned through the MogStation's shop? If so, perhaps SE should add another set of wards with that and change things around like not allowing level 4 alt characters to own a house.

With the celebration of 10+ million accounts, building more wards should be a huge priority for Square-Enix.

Well it has been said that glamor is the real end game in FF XIV. This surely reinforces that perception.

So this guy was who I've been trying to reach in regards to pass the words to YoshiP if possible for adding more wards if anything. Best bet is him really.
