Please SE, do something about housing

[Skivvy]

Thought process of clueless XIV players in 5 steps:

1: Housing is too expensive.
2: We want personal housing.
3: We want more wards.
4: Why am I not seeing any neighbors?
5: Replace everything with instanced housing.

You all got what you deserved with this timer. Careful what you wish for next time.

While it's fun to try to group the opinions of tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of people into 5 tidy points, it's rarely ever accurate. I've always been team-instanced housing.

1: Housing is too expensive.
2: We want personal housing.

These 2 points are pretty spot on though.

Housing, when first released used to be way more expensive and FC only. Then SE introduced personal housing and reducing prices.

The persistent ward system along with low prices is terrible, considering the player population, if every player were to have a personal house.

The most feasible thing to do, seems be to keep the persistent ward housing, while improving upon apartments. Let us upgrade apartments as a gil sink, all the way to a large penthouse. Give apartments balconies for gardening.

Lastly, link the FC workshop to the GCs, so even houseless FCs/individuals can access the workshop.

Please SE, i beg you. Add more wards, more subdivisions, a third, a fourth but please. This housing is a mess. It's very tiring to click for hours and see so many people trying to get the house too.

Just add more please and now. We all want a house!

They added more but of course, it wasn't enough... Gone within 2 minutes.

they don't have to add more wards and housing. They can start by optimising what they have, redo the whole purchase system. Actually the whole system as its broken.
Then have a good test and if its smart, then I am sure they will find it can save and optimize their servers, and with what they save and find, theyc an add more plots and wards.
So please, invest some of that money you guys get each month from us, to have a go at a better housing system, please.
