Umm, no. The housing system is garbage, and I'm saying that as a home owner. While words can't describe how excited and happy I was to have finally gotten a house of my own back in Stormblood the process of getting one was a rather stressful and miserable experience. I hated the FC-Only moratorium they implemented because I was worrying that there would be none left by the time it was finally lifted especially since it would be the only time in the whole expansion that they would add new wards.
I have friends who have all but given up on getting a house because of the awful the random timer system. You could spend hours upon hours camping and clicking a plot and lose it to someone who showed up two minutes ago.
If the housing system were actually good, we wouldn't have so many people begging for instanced housing or additional plots like this. If you have the gil, you should be able to buy a house and be done with it, plain and simple.
