STRIKE UNTIL HOUSING IS FIXED!!

[PureSteel]

Majority of us are feeling the burn of this mornings shameful display of SE's appreciation for its player base. Client crashes, long queues, and housing gone in minutes. Players are using alt accounts to buy multiple plots, reselling plots for ridiculous prices, etc. I've been reading the posts today and I keep hearing the same story. Players saving for years patiently waiting for the new ward. Today was the day of hope we all dreamed about.

So I purpose this FF players. DON'T BUY ANYTHING FROM THE MOG STATION. IF YOUR AT THE END OF THE ROPE UNSUBSCRIBE.

We pay them our hard earned real life money for an experience. We expect a positive one! I expect them to invest some of our money into infrastructure to provide adequate housing for players and not just to the lucky ones, or the greedy ones, or the cheaters! We have to ban together and make them listen!

Hate to burst your bubble but a strike like this won't work. The vast majority of players (including myself) don't give a crap about housing at all.

I mean... there were so many people interested that the 720 plots released sold in less than half an hour on every server and every one that freed up in other wards was claimed too afaik. And like, if enough people start leaving over it, it'll start impacting other aspects of the game, even if they're not the majority.

As far as I'm concerned, I will stop buying anything from Mog Station.

I think you are also forgetting that their are legit "Land Barons" in this game who buy up entire wards. Like apparently there was an FC in midgardsormr that bought up a whole ward in Shirogane in less than minutes.

You may not care about housing, however the "land barons" can't get every plot of land, and even when they do the simple fact people buy the houses at stupid high prices still proves your point... incorrect to say the least.

Let me ask you this. You "don't care" about housing yet you're here in the housing forums. For what reason, exactly? If you have no interest in it the only possible reason you could be here is to troll.

You can strike all you want but i didn't play or sub to FFXIV because of housing. So no, the majority of us is not that salty about housing.

But yes housing system should have been a "FC" exclusive deal instead. Not sure why they decided to allow personal housing back in 2.4 and not sure why it took 4 years for people to start complaining about housing when it didn't get much attention back then.

Yes, housing sucks. Am I salty about it? Not even close. I knew what we were getting with Shiro, I knew what to expect upon logging in, I knew what to expect with the download...and everything happened as expected. If anything plots were bought more slowly than I expected. Most of the salt on this forum is from people knowing all of this and still expecting to get a house when the reality was the odds were against you. The bottom line is, people's expectations were unreasonable and now they're pissed about it.

I don't hold SE blameless, I think its beyond time they implemented a better system but its not worth the level of rage I see being thrown around. But thats my opinion and I know most will disagree.

If I didn't already have a medium house in the beds, I would of been gone with the wind a while back.

I said this before, why medium/large plots can be purchased as private is beyond me. SE also need to consider adjusting to the amount of gil in circulation on worlds.
