Unforgivable

[Cyrillus]

This housing thing, especially on Balmung, is unforgivable. The fact that I waited all night until 6am EST, clicked the play button the SECOND 6:00am rolled around, got KICKED FROM THE LOBBY, then stuck in a 2,400 person queue, and thus never even had a CHANCE at getting housing, is beyond unacceptable to me.

I waited a year for this, did everything I could, and it didn't matter a tiny bit. The housing problem in this game, especially on this server, is insanely out of control. I may actually leave this game over it honestly, and I doubt quite seriously I am the only one who feels that way.

Terrible job SE, you guys deserve to lose big on this one.

SE doesn't care about you. They never did and they never will. They are not your friends. You could die right now and the only thing they'd care about is the lost income.
All you are worth to them is the money you pay for your sub, and whatever cash you're willing to dish out on the mog station for retainers and grossly overpriced vanity items.

They are a corporation first and foremost.

One year? Try 4.

Wholly agreed Cyrillus, I enjoyed the game from the start of stormblood and was working incredibly hard to save up money for an FC. In reality without the hope of having a house for my friends and I there is next to nothing keeping me around. I am incredibly disheartened and while I enjoy the rest of the game I don't even wanna play the (insanely small amount of) new content they added. I could honestly care less about it. It blows my mind that housing was historically an abomination in this game and they CHANGED NOTHING ABOUT IT and decided it was cool to release a whole new plot.

Pretty much all high pop servers had the same issue, they knew this would happen and kept ignoring it

The housing system is shoddy but we all knew what limited housing is like. What's unforgivable is the stability and lobby error issue. Do everything right only to get Insta kicked. Wether you obtained a house or not is not down to any form of planning, it was purely wether you won the rng lottery of not getting Insta booted from queue.

It's a joke that the decided delayed release of housing was best for the player base to prepare but seemingly did little to no preparation themselves to ensure stability. No. 2000000 in the queue fine, No. 100 in the queue and getting lobby errors not ok.

Side note I'm on a "low pop" everything was sold out in 6 minutes and the cherry on top, 6 FCs managed to bag a large the rest are all private.

At this point the only way things will change will be if people unsub in massive droves tbh.

What SE envisions: Everyone, finger on the button, ready to have an equally fair advantage, "may the best man win" and "if you get a house it feels special" and "whoever is the most dedicated gets it."

What actually happens: "Oh the launcher is broke 3 minutes before the patch, I guess 75% of the people get screwed."

It's not man vs man, in the race for a house. It's basically man vs technical instability of the servers, and may the luckiest man brave the pile of crap to get the house. SE knows how big of an issue this is and still can't even handle the demand that they're creating by not having more supply.

Yes, blah blah server blah blah more instability blah blah more wards. I get it. But they should be prepared for this. They were not. People got screwed out of a house because of it.

The best part about all this, is that in order for people to pay the scalpers they will need to most likely use RMT to afford the prices. Guess which end of that housing transaction is going to get off the hook, illicit gil and all? Hint: rhetorical question

The truth has been spoken. Makes me wonder why i'm still here. I guess I just need the good game to migrate too but still haven't found.
