Sorry. In hopes that SE gets the clue, here I am, piling on just like everyone else should.

I realize there's server strain but this is ridiculous. The way this system is at the moment, the only viable way to get a house anymore is to participate in under-the-table negotiations on Reddit or somewhere else, either for money or ingame gil, usually gigantic portions, likely RMT too since nothing else in the game demans the prices that flipped houses go for. A cursory glance at Reddit shows you how many people are getting actual, real money off of flipping houses and selling relocations and FCs.

Square, this is your doing. Make no mistake.

As it stands, a not insignificant portion of my monthly subscription is dedicated to a system used by players who are not me, many of which are RMT buyers. The depressingly ironic truth is that I probably spend MORE time in housing districts clicking billboards for literally days than the people who actually have houses.
