Losing faith in this MMO

[AngelCheese77]

thank you SE, at least i dont need pay for another sub. coz i will cancel it thats for sure.
you should able to acces all content in a P2p MMO, Op. shop is also a shame but idc that i can live without some exra glamour and mount.

BUT SHIROGANE HOUSING WAS PART OF STORMBLOOD , SO THANK YOU FOR ONLY CARING ABOUT PPL WITHOUT JOB WHO CAN PLAY UR GAME 24/7 AND NORMAL WORKING PPL JUST F.O. AND PLAY UR GAME WITHOUT HOUSE
utterly disappointed

Uhm, I don't work as I'm disabled and didn't get a house .. so your post is invalid. Though I understand your frustration.

If a game like Neopets can have proper instanced housing, SE has no excuse.

And I really wasn't expecting it to be this outrageous. Housing didn't go this quickly at the initial launch nor at the expansion, and players refuse to use apartments as the alternative as they don't offer the same content, nor the size.

It's just a bad deal.

This is such a nice idea, SE should give us houses just like Neopets!!

I have a premium house in LOTRO.
It costs around $45 (because Lotro is F2P and the company sells you special things for cash.
You can buy a normal house for ingame money but it's smaller and less refined).

A lot of you could think I'm crazy, and I wasted a lot of money for pixel.
I had (and have) a lot of fun decorating, buying/crafting furniture (and sometime spending money in the store).
I created a storeroom, a library, a basement room etc etc.

Get it? it took me busy for a long time and pushed me into crafting, reputation for recipes, barter tokens (=farming of tokens) for items and so on.

part2.

Now tell me, why should I craft/buy a furniture in ff14? Sunday I was looking in AH for leatherworking/cooking furniture: this is interaction with the rest of the crafting community.

From 1 to 10, what do you care about "new crafting recipes" if you don't have your own house?
You can sell furniture, but where do you use that money in ff14?

I already do savage raids, I have materia 6 at will, mounts are farmed ingame...
If I don't use money for housing and -some- cosmetics, for what?

A lot of players are underestimating what's happened, this is a big loss for the core community (and SE, I was looking in the store for something to buy), not for "who did not get an house", and I'm angry with SE because it showed me they are BLIND, exactly like 7 years ago.

They spent resources for an USELESS relocating feature, new recipes, new crafting... bah, I'll write what they deserve in my reviews.

The thing first and foremost they need to look at is the fact that most of the houses went to individuals. On Balmung it looks about 90/10 - so only about 10-15% of the houses went to FCs. I know Yoshi has always claimed FCs are more important so it's probably time to put their money where their mouth is and actually learn from what happened in Shirogane. Barely any FC got a house.

I'm always in favor of FCs going first - even though I want to rebuy a personal home and my FC already has a large in LB. FC homes benefit the most people and SE seems to agree, but the Wards say other wise.

I think people deserve a personal home though, I just think with the current system FCs should have a crack at it first, then in a few months open up wards for individuals to buy. There's a high demand for personal housing, and that's fine, but I think we can all admit this mixing of FC/personal housing stuff isn't working.

Neopets is a stretch, but Wildstar can give you housing with multitudes more options as well as a community system and still be able to guarantee every character a maximum sized house with its limited budget on top of being one of the non-scummy free to play games out right now.

For everyone thinking of unsubbing, I would wait to see if they announce they’re adding more instances first. They clearly did a poor job of anticipating the demand. It wouldn’t surprise me if they added more wards to accommodate the demand.

If they say, sorry, but that’s it, we’re not adding more, that’s another thing. But wait to see what the official response. We’ve seen before that they often fail to properly anticipate demand and plan poorly.

Even if they doubled every single ward, it wouldn't come close to accommodating the demand. For reference sake, there are over 600,000 characters eligible to purchase a house yet currently less than 100,000 available. Their "solution" to a known problem was to add 23,760 (Shirogane). They won't do anything, which is why people are threatening to unsub.

No, I really believe if you're this upset about this that you're playing the wrong game. This game is not called 'Housing of Eoreza.' If such a small, minute aspect of the game has pushed any player to make such ultimatums, they are simply masking their actual discontentment of the game.

Oh and all those things you listed? That is desired content that the player base will happily run over and over (breaking news: MMOs are full of repetition. Shocking, I know!).
