They instituted a ridiculous timing system to force people to spend hours upon hours waiting for a house to be available. If they did them in a true auction style fashion, then there wouldn't be an issue. You bid high enough, you get the land. Players on Playstation 4 are getting shafted because they have to spend hours and hours getting hand cramps and possibly carpal tunnel, just to try and land a house. PC users can just throw on a bot and land a house easily without even being on their machine.

No, we didn't have to move from the server, if we wanted to deal with "derping role players" but when your entire Free Company decides that it is the best course of action, you either go and get shafted by a broken housing system or be left to play on a server with none of your friends there with you, making it that much harder to get certain quests and achievements done.
Square does take action against botters if you report them. Once more I'm hearing nothing from you but shifting blame and salt. As it's been shown over the years, (Coming from someone who has played this game since the beginning.) They will speak up and do something once more than just the NA or EU player base says something, do you just expect them to answer every crying person because they feel entitled?

To implement an auction system would completely ruin the point of housing and the system they have in place. When people are having to pay well over what the plot is worth just to own it, less people would even have houses, that's not really a good replacement system. They made it this way so people couldn't flip houses for godly amounts of gil, which sucks yes and its not perfect, but tbh no game is perfect. At the end of the day its a game and if you have a life you wouldn't be crying in forums over something so silly. Friends can still be chatted with via discord, new friends and fcs can always be found. Grow up.
