well, i finally got to the end.

@Sinitzor, i do like your random relinquish timer on the houses. lapsed and fortified houses have a random time on when they become available again. But in my opinion i don't agree with the "i have an account that allows me to have multiple characters, each as as much of a right to a house as your 1 character." mostly because i have had a completely different personal experience with housing than yourself. Having a complete different experience than you has driven me to have a different view point. I also have multiple alts each one with millions of gil, but none of them has a house, just none are available on my server. when Shirogane launched my sob story just resounds those of a 1,000 times over again. my launcher crashed multiple times and after 15 min of trying i got put in a que 1,300 people long and when i finally logged in every single plot in every single district in every single ward was gone. It wasn't because i didn't have the money for a house, or because i didn't try hard enough, i was just unlucky.

so when someone like myself sees someone with multiple houses across multiple characters, it just makes us feel cheated where i can't have 1 because you want 8. I get that people that own multiple houses across multiple characters has done nothing wrong as well, but when the same people use the argument of "i was here first" it just infuriates me. To someone like me you sound like Marie Antoinette saying "let them eat cake" where you just sound out of touch with the plight of Eorzea's homeless.
