I started playing this game on one of the points that it had player owned housing back in mid heavensward era. I've been grinding out gil ever since housing was announced.

I raised 100M just so a friend could help and double my odds. I took a day off work, stayed up all night, drafted up a plan for fastest routes and notable houses, speedrun through kirogane, created macros and rebound keys to purchase faster, spam refreshed the client an entire hour before, have ffxiv on an SSD to be a little faster. Even on my small server, large houses were gone in like 3 minutes. If that isn't dedication I don't know what is.

This game has a paid sub, massive playerbase, they can easily give everyone a fair chance. They want housing to feel exclusive, I believe housing prices make it at least somewhat exclusive in itself, especially 50M price tags. His thought process is so archaic, change it, no more excuses. My sub is canceled until this is fixed.
