why isnt there enough housing plots?!?!

[Destati]

There is enough housing plots... nearly 10 times more than when it came out. Sadly Square Enix has dramatically reduced the prices, twice, and now everyone feels entitled to a house because Square Enix is literally giving them away at this point.

If people have to crowd around a single placard spam-clicking it in the hopes of owning a plot for hours on end, there are not enough houses. Sorry people aren't bleeding gil like you evidently are but I took a look at those old housing prices and they were absolutely ludicrous.

Unlike the OP, I worked for them.

What a pointless statement. Everyone has worked for their house - or are working for them now - in one way or another. Whether they worked to save up the gil or spent countless hours scoping out empty plots and clicking on the placard, it's still work.

I honestly hate to be 'that' guy, I really do...but housing is a "privilege", not a right. There will always be people bound to not have one.

Honestly? Everyone should be able to have a house if they already meet the requirements to do so (i.e. having enough gil and being the appropriate Grand Company rank). Not to mention it is an advertised feature of the game. While it may just be in a little blurb on the site, I will say that I have had a few friends who were very much incentivized into playing the game in the first place by the prospect of being able to decorate their own house. Finally, if there are other MMOs where everyone is able to own a house, then there is absolutely no reason why FFXIV can't be the same.
