another housing complaint thread

0 shirogane, 18 in goblet, 1 in mist, 2 in lavbeds, all smalls ...

I just wanted to say that, I finally got a small property for my FC after complaining about it for months. It remains that I have the resources to afford, and would prefer, to have a medium plot, but for now I'll take the small (not much choice).

The fact remains that the housing system is still very new-player-unfriendly, and it is next to impossible to get a plot under normal circumstances. Once these plots fill up (which I'm sure they will within the next week or so), we'll be back to where we were, with bots clicking placards, desperately hoping for a house.

However, now that I am in the housing market, I have no reason to complain about the horrible system, so this will be my last post. Thanks all, I hope this helps players in the long run (though I doubt it will change anything).

Take care, happy gaming.

Do you mean to say that you will no longer complain about this at all? Or that you will no longer post in this thread?

I'm asking because if your reasoning is "well I got my house now, the problem is over" then you're contributing to the problem. SE aren't going to change the system, that you yourself said is horrible, if there aren't enough voices demanding it.

Do what you want of course, you don't have to keep posting about housing. However someone without a house reading your post could feel pretty annoyed about your attitude changing from pushing for change to becoming passive when you finally benefited in a broken system. Sure you're far from the first person to have this mindset, but most appear to have the sense to not publicly confess it.

And my apologies if I misunderstood your post if the above does not apply to you at all.

That's kinda how I understood their post as well. I've been lucky enough to be able to snag up a small plot for myself, but just because I got lucky with the current system doesn't mean the system is good.

I think if they would allow people to upgrade the size of their apartment/FC room, it would alleviate a lot of the anger people have over housing. My biggest beef is that the apartments are so gosh darn tiny that they aren't super fun to decorate. A small house gives just enough room to satisfy my decoration itch.

I'm not saying allow apartments to be like MANSION sized, but allowing players to upgrade the apartments to maybe medium sized would probably make a lot of people pretty happy. Sure, there would still be no yard to garden in/decorate, but it would be a step in a better direction while also not stepping on the toes of people who own an actual house.

Wasted like 20 hours since demo day. Between getting ousted by people relocating (because the only people that deserve housing are those that already have one apparently) and loosing out on the STUPID click wars, I'm pretty much done fighting this failure of a feature until they get off there arse and do something about it. I wish we had a cumulative total of how much time SE has made us waste.

Too bad you're not on Bryn. We have a lot of smalls open, some mediums. Hell, two of the most desired Mist mediums (right on the beach) opened up the other day. I almost gave up my Shiro mansion for one, but chose not to, hoping SE increasing the item limit on larges.

[timmeh1333]

If I could transfer to a low pop server and not have to reroll my FC, I'd gladly do it.

I currently have 44 mil gil and nothing to spend it on. Would still love a medium for my FC. I'm just shaking my head right now; gil is worthless, and there's no housing plots on almost all of the US servers.

Please fix. Thanks.

You not instantly getting what you want doesn't mean the dev team doesn't care. They do care. They've shown it time and time again. But they can't address all player concerns instantly. Things take time and resources to develop and implement.

Meanwhile every pther game that has a serious problem and they know it's a problem fix it within a month or less. It's been ALMOST A YEAR! If they cared theh wouldn't have given us instanced apartments and instead given us an instanced housing on the side instead of this BS timer crap. Whoever is in charge of houseing needs to be fired because they missed 5-6 glaring flaws in thier "fix". Stop making excuses for them, you aren't going to get free sub time if you suck up to them.

Stop exaggerating. I've never known any other game to fix things in that short of a period of time short of game breaking bugs, which this isn't.

I'm not looking for free sub time. I'm trying to explain some realities about game design but you and others don't seem to be interested in learning.

If you're going to make all these "many games with potato servers having 10x better housing and fixing serious problems in less than a month", then you'd better start giving us links to back up your claims.

You're making up stuff trying to press people's buttons and incite them. Chill out. Act like an adult instead of a spoiled brat throwing a temper tantrum because you can't get what you want.

I was pretty annoyed when I took a long break I lost all my furniture. Last I remembered, there was only a decay mech on the house, not your stuff that gets shipped off to the salvager ... I thought you had infinite time to get your stuff after losing your house. >.< lost all my stuff that I would now need to purchase for too much gil or buy directly from mogstation. Not to mention the millions of gil worth in crafted stuff... Ugh.

[BehindTheFlowers]

Yeah, you are right.
But if it will make you feel better. Those of us with more then 2070 days of subscription, have no housing either. Even if we try to get one. So there your just as luck as the rest of us, and sit throught eh same redicolous shitty clicking hell as us.
So welcome to the house hating system community. AKA HHSC brigade
