"This other game does housing better, so there's no excuse for FFXIV to suck so bad!"

This defense is so worthless, it's laughable at how often it's brought up. You realize that, out of all those games you have suggested, none of them exist anymore? Or the fact that they're run on an entirely different engine, with entirely different parameters and data-management systems to compliment said engine? I know it's quite hard to fathom, but FFXIV is still running on it's 1.0 engine, just with a fair amount of duct-tape on it.

You like housing in those games? Go play those games then. Simple fix.

As for "just because im not mad means X", I never said the system was perfect. Infact, I am quite on-the-fence with the current system and unable to truly say it's worth the headaches it grants. But everyone continues to ignore the fact that the system was a rushed job to try and stop house-flippers and, until Shadowbringers sudden surge in player-count, it was doing its job just fine. The surge, SE couldn't truly predict and so they have to make quick temporary solutions while a rework is on the docket. Wards 19 - 21 is proof of that.

And white-knighting? For pointing out the issues in your statement? Ok then.
