Probably Cancelling My Subscription

[ShamanNorris]

Probably no, for sure.
Just unsubbed. Reason "Not interested in playing anymore." There was no "3 years dealing with the same housing problem".
When they come with a solution I come back.
$-120 less dollars for them per month while it lasts. From me and my girlfriend. But hey, they don't care about the english forums so they won't care for english money right?

I won't unsub until I finished the content but once I am done, I will probably unsub as well.

Server Ultros. I stayed up the ENTIRE NIGHT... Kept refreshing the lodestone every few mins or seconds and had my finger on the Log In button till 6am EXACTLY. Logged in took few seconds to load to character screen where i didnt even see my character then got in que... I was 624 in que. Took mere mins to log in but by the time I loaded in there was nothing but a few smalls left and not enough time to get to them before they were bought. This is a totally unfair system and Im looking for a replacment for FFXIV. Which is my first MMO and I fell in love with. Play even more than my bf. But having a large home was my only goal for the past 2-3 years. The only reaso. i have wifi is to play this game. So thanks SE for helping me to save money. Hey theyre like car insurence... Big talk, high priced and good for nothing! #ExtraSalty #YouWouldBeToo

Yeah, I'll let my subscription lapse after I get MSQ down and 24 man raid. I see no point staying subscribed working on crafters and gatherers to make money, coz there's nothing to spend it on other than minions, and glam doesn't do it for me.

I don't mind dumping 50 million in a house and crafting for it, at least it gives it a purpose. But I see no point staying subscribed between "patches" riding the markets to have a ton of gil and nothing useful to spend it on. Over 100 million in imaginary coin and nothing to spend it on in SE's make-believe land.

i stayed up all night to get a house for my wife and i. we worked hard to save up for it too. but when the servers went live again i was stuck in queue for nearly twenty minutes and by the time i was on every single housing plot on the server had been bought up.

Sadly, the 20 min queue is not the real issue. We were 3 players from our FC trying to get a Shirogane house. We were pinging the servers to know when they would come online, we all entered with less than 200 players in queue (one with less than a hundred). We were in the housing ward in less than two minutes after the servers went online. Yet all the mansions were already taken by the time we could move in-game. This game is not missing a few more wards. The problem is much much bigger than that...

While I won't be cancelling my subscription, I too feel the pain of the Housing crisis right now from Patch 4.1. My guild and I were working hard to raise the money for transferring our house plot to Shirogane in one of the Large plots (16 or 30) and my Guild leader was on in the first 30 seconds of the servers being up but by then it appears all plots had been bought.
What's really the issue is the fact that per character you can technically own two houses; 1 for your fc and 1 for yourself. Now if you're paying for up to 8 character's that's 16 houses/account you can purchase which is half a district. The reason that many people are getting by is they just make an FC for themselves and be the only person in the FC allowing them to buy that house.

There really needs to be more restrictions or open up more wards. I was looking forward to eventually being able to buy myself a plot somewhere. But when housing was bought out in Shirogane (be it new or transfer), no plots seemed to really open up in the other regions. Now we got people using PF to sell or buy plots at extremely high prices just killing the housing market. It feels like real life!

My boyfriend and I have both cancelled our subscriptions over this. There's little to add that hasn't been said hundreds of times already, but it felt important to show what this is doing to XIV's loyal playerbase.

My big problem was the fact that the patch was released in an extremely poor state for PC. People got a LONG and SLOW download for the patch. Many people were STILL downloading the patch when the servers came up and the patch even error'd and closed the launcher. Some people even had to start their patch over from scratch when they received the error. That is inexcusable. If they wanted everyone to have an even shot at getting a house, why put housing on a timer to unlock a few hours AFTER the patch goes live so everyone has a chance to log in and get ready?
