In Defence of Housing

[Kohdo]

You aren't entitled to a plot.

Your monthly sub grants you the ability to login. Nothing more.

If you're getting 1000-person queues on login and can never find a plot of land, maybe move to a lower pop server? If you're on one of the most populated servers in game, you should've seen this coming when Shirogane was announced.

Housing is a limited commodity. You can play on a high-pop server or you can have an easy time finding a plot of land, but you can't have both. I agree that more wards should be added, and there should be a limit to one house per service account. While these are reasonable requests, the salt over housing has become a joke.

Stop demanding crappy instanced housing, stop threatening to unsub (everyone knows you won't, and they don't care), and stop cursing SE/Yoshida/whoever. This is a game. If your pixel house means that much to you, take the initiative and transfer out of your high-pop server.

Just my 2¢. Flame away.

Also, I played this game since 2.1 and never got a chance to buy a house, until now and never complained about it. I was satisfied with my apartment, so why should't you be?

My grandparents didn't have electricity, why shouldn't we be satisfied with the same?

I mean, I know there's a SE white knight apologist in every thread, but yeesh. This is a problem that's easily fixed by spinning up some new VMs for housing wards. For a sub game to tell more than half the playerbase that if they're not online within 10 minutes at 6am on a given day they can't have a house is amateur hour.

I'm going to be that one because I'm only the tiniest bit salty today. I hadn't planned on buying a house as my char with the most gil is on Balmung and there's more of a chance that I'll get struck by lightning than buy a plot there. But anyway, here goes.

defence looks awful

Your opinion :3 Doesn't mean it's incorrect.

[PharisHanasaki]

I'm in a low pop server. Your post is invalid now.

[Miracle_Diva]

Yes. This is a game. And we are paying for it. We bought expansions with content, we pay monthly. Why can't we have that piece of housing content too?

You're joking, right? You realize that even the "low pop servers" had housing completely gone in less than 1 hour after the patch went live, right? You realize that a lot of people got stuck in 1,000+ player queues because they were hit with faulty launchers or 2002 Lobby Server errors (which, by the way, have nothing to do with your server of choice, nor your system but SE's systems), and that was the sole reason they were unable to get on faster? This system is atrocious, and SE should be ashamed of themselves to advertise Shirogane as a main attraction of an expansion when they knew that less than 20% of the active player base would ever be able to obtain such a thing.
