I personally wonder what SE thought was going to happen with such a limited resource that was highly desirable as well.. but they've put plenty of effort and resources into their decision. The problem isn't that they don't WANT everyone to have housing, it's their current system simply cannot support every player having a house.
Lets not concentrate on the wrong problem: Housing needs a new solution so everyone can participate.
The issue lies in letting everyone have access to the content without punishing those who put so much effort into the current system.
The effort? I mean making gil in this game is easy as sheet! I made an easy 20+ million with little effort and that's with un-capped crafting! Effort is FFXIV 1.0 crafting/gathering where you had to share nodes with others and where crafting failed more than success. The current system is effected by the old system. SE allowed multiple plots to be purchased by a few Dirty Rich players (who are absolutely no fault of this mess)! Again I don't fault those early crafters who made their way through very hard work, but SE is the root cause of this and needs to own up to it. There should be plenty of housing available for everyone, but like RL they should also work for it to and not handed over. Even if it's paying rent for a house to SE each week. I mean yeah my FC has a nice large house, but i want one of my own to have to. Housing is easy in every other MMO but this one!
