My FC and I have been looking for an FC house ever since our inception before the launch of Shadowbringers. Initially we were 'picky', wanting a nice spot. After a lot of unsuccesfull 'camps' we've adjusted our goals to 'anything goes'. This journey to get a house has been nothing short of soul crushing and I am baffled this system remains in the game.

This evening me and two other company members, resolved to camp yet another plot. We were going to sit at the placard all night. We stood by this plot for five hours, the vast majority of which spent spamming the placard. At 1:30 someone comes up and within 5 minutes buys the plot from under our noses.

This feeling of defeat and pointessness is so vile and toxic it made all three of us consider whether this game was even worth it. Should I be asking you to reimburse me part of my subscription, since it was spent doing absolutely nothing because of a system that's apparently working as intended?

The housing as it works right now is honestly sapping all of my will to keep playing. I preferred the outrageous prices houses held previously, because at least earning gil has me actually playing the game. I keep hoping there will be an actual solution, but the only thing I've heard so far is more wards. What a pathetic fix to a horrible system. You should be ashamed this is allowed to be on live servers. No housing would be better than this farce.
