Stop asking for more wards

[Aerilon]

Creating more wards for more houses only creates less problems, but does NOT effectively solve the issue.

Even if we received an extra ward, the day it is released will be another day like today with majority of people being disappointed and angry over the same login RNG disaster.


What we need is a change in how housing is done for the future in this game and the community as a whole need to push for it.

I understand SE wanted to give us a neighborhood feeling with wards, but being able to own a house for your own FC or for oneself is far more important than belonging in a neighborhood.

Personally I would like to see instanced housing.

The problem with this just comes down to development time. Adding additional wards would literally probably be a 1 day task to change some code, review it send it off to QA and deploy.

HAHAHAHAHA, if you think it is a one day task then you have no idea what kind of backend goes into those wards. SE would literally need to order more servers and set up the infrastructure to handle them. We didn't even get as much inventory space as promised due to server strain let alone adding new wards on demand

It is probably not about the development time and more about server space, stability and trying to justify increasing the cost to host FFXIV to accommodate these demands with nary an incentive that will visibly pay off instantly. I'm referring to adding it as an additional service under the Mogstation. Remember, SE the company holds the purse strings, not the XIV team and not Yoshida.
