To SQUARE ENIX FFXIV & YOSHI-P,

This enormous HOUSING FAILURE must stop! Housing MUST BE available to ALL subscribers of this game! If you want to continue to gain paid subscribers to this game for another four years and to keep the existing subscriber base, you have to stop making housing an elitism in the game. Stop basing housing availability on confines of “housing space.” Stop basing housing availability based on who has the fastest internet connection when a patch goes live. Stop promoting housing with rewards from events when 99% of the subscribers do not have a house! We all know Yoshi had a vision for housing, but it does not work if attainable availability is not for all. I don't care what you have to do, Square, to revamp the housing fiasco, but it needs to be done and done quickly.

The existing free company rules for housing are extremely outdated, because people buy and sell free companies and old free company houses through underground dealings like they are a piece of old stale bread. No player should be able to sell a plot to another player. Please include a rule that a Level 1 Placeholder cannot be a leader of a free company and hold on to an extra house. And if you honor your paying subscriber base with the suggestion below, then many of the shady housing dealings become a moot point and will cease to exist and Square will end up with less housing headaches.

Give access to housing for all of the paid subscriber base, via new rules and the honest amass of gil in order to buy a plot, an instanced plot, etc., whatever description you want to call it and make it possible! Make it so there is a notification and that particular paying subscriber is told it can now invest in housing and have a house of their own! Many of us do not care if someone else can see the house or the yard, we just want the availability to EXPERIENCE HOUSING. How is that so difficult to understand? Give us instanced housing where we can invite friends and family in to see our new abode.

Stop treating 99% of your paying subscribers as dogs, throwing them an old “housing” bone that never changes and never improves.
