Their servers do suck though. That I can agree on.
I owned a small house on Balmung, the most popular server in the game by a considerable mile, yet only saw my neighbours on rare occasions. Regardless, it's a terrible design philosophy when 90% of your playerbase is frustrated-- some on the verge of tears after they took time away from work or felt responsible to get a FC house only to get locked into a 1,000 person queue. No other MMO has struggled with housing like FFXIV. It's an embarrassment the dev should be utterly ashamed of.
