In Defence of Housing

[REPROBEAN_CHILD]

I'm quite sure the poster has gotten more than one house

[NoctusT]

On Brynhildr, the large and medium houses were sold out in 10 mins or so. It's one of the lowest populated servers in the game. FC now has 50 mil just sitting in the chest now. Our leader logged in asap but got delayed by a lobby error. You dont really have an idea of how bad the housing situation is do you?

[B]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.

So what you're saying is thers no defense and you admit housing is broken and has drastic flaws in the system. The sub fee is irrelevant, weither you play on a high population or low population server is irrelevant. Since by using your ability to login and go to whatever server you choose, you're still greeted by the same flawed system. I don't own nor desire to own a house, however it's obvious no one at SE or the development team thought housing out very well and people have a right to be upset and call them out on it.

20/7/3 Ward System hurts to. They should of created different types to fulfill different request. Make 20/7/3 the base, 30 Medium and a 20/10 Medium/Large split.

Small houses take up to much of the housing if we want to be real in terms of desirable land you have either.

Counting Medium/Large 240/720 33%

Just counting Large 72/720 10%

If you look at it from that perspective there was definitely not enough houses added.

Housing could be better if they stuck to their promise and seperate FC and Personal Housing, they made the wrong assumption in lumping those together.

You all pay a sub but there's still a cash shop with exclusive items, so it's not like you're guaranteed everything just by paying a sub like everyone else.

Op, you must be really fun at parties.

I got the gil to purchase a house and i pay a subscription, so yes, i should have a house. Yes, it should be part of what i get with the game. But it isnt, and that needs to change.

I'm a little saddened. My fc couldn't get the house they wanted due to log in throwing out the person in control of buying just as he was about to load in. If it hadn't he would of gotten the house. But we have a fc house and the move to Shirogane would of been nice. I managed to get the private house me and my husband and ingame brother wanted. I get people being disappointing. But outright unsubbing is a bit extreme. Especially people on over populated servers should of knew there chances were slim. Heck I'm on a under populated server and we had a 500+ wait. While I agree the housing is in desperate need of adjustment unsubbing is not the way.

What if the real problem is that there is nothing to spend gil on at end game levels? Gearing up comes from raiding , repairs are cheap if not free , and there are no real upkeep costs. We also don't pay taxes on housing which is interesting as I can't see people like Lolorito letting that stand for Uldah residents. Does anyone ever truely own anything? The short answer is only your own actions as even property in the real world is only on an indefinite loan to it's "owner" so the nation in which it exists can enforce the rule of law.

Sadly it is, as you won't be heard otherwise. Congratz on being able to get a personal one though.
