Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

[Niraves]

Even double or triple the number of wards wouldn't be enough. There are only 72 large plots per district. It's ridiculously stupid to keep the wards at this point. I don't care if you like looking at your neighbors empty houses. everyone deserves a chance to enjoy housing and if that means no more wards then I'm all for it.

SE needs to get their shit together on this issue because it's dumb as hell that this is still a problem at this point.

I am not really sure why SE does not understand that a good housing system could motivate quite a lot of people to play the game for a longer time. Make the future wards for FCs only (and restrict that to still one house per account) and give personal players instanced houses..I mean we as the WoL did quite much for Eorzea and yet a lot of the players are still homeless..so they could even tie a quest behind this. Give us a small one as a start and let us increase it on our own will with time and/or Gil. Also let us be able to purchase multiple houses in different zones (should not be a problem if its instanced). With that people that love the content will have so much to do, it will awake the market for housing items again, you will not only create seasonal housing items for a small bunch of players and more.

Also stop advertising housing as some big part of the game if you cant even give everyone the chance to own one. (Only restriction should be the Gil..nothing more) This would be like having one mount that you use as a selling point for the game but that you completely forget to mention that only the first x amount players will ever own it..

Or its 4am and people just went to bed...or work. Talk about those plots maybe tomorrow.

Pretty much what I did. I didn’t do anything on mine until this morning when I woke up. It was just a vacant lot for hours. Didn’t want to make decisions while I was dead tired and regret them the next day.

I stock piled enough money for a large house. Wake up early (jeeze these updates end at 4am). Look at all the house areas... 22 small open. Why the hell are there so many small plots if it's 50mil for a big in a game where you only really have to spend money on housing. I find a nice spot in the Kagore area and 80% of all lots are single owners. I'm trying to buy a big place for fc mates that quit due to lack of housing and want to decorate the main area. If you have 20 people wanting to decorate a small house they can have about 5 items each, and that's before the nearly obligatory NPCs. And the very limited gardening option. The small house are "cute" if you like cottages... We would be okay with instanced housing if we could get the large garden.

even if SE decided to do something about the housing wards , who will know if the people who unsubbed will come back or not for it? :P

Unfortunately those stories of house hoarders that you hear can be true. I personally know someone who had 18 and was looking to get more this patch to resell. Probably did. Unfortunately I don’t have proof of his endeavours in game. Only know about it from Discord.
He even bragged to my friend when she despaired over the thought of never getting one house. I’m disgusted by the greed. We don’t speak anymore.. -.-

Yeah, I wouldn’t talk to that guy either. That’s messed up.

Really, there should be a cap. Like 1. You can get 1 personal and an FC house. That’s it.

Why would anyone think anything on SE end will change. This will be ignored for a few days and people will move on and SE will pretend their is no issue. Status quo.

You have a couple choices as a consumer. Accept, hope, or make your voice heard outside of the game. Maybe get that snack shoveling columnist from Kotaku to stop cherry coating the game situation. Or do what other regions have done and adjust scores on review sites. They are happy you are here complaining. Make your voice heard to potential customers. You don't have to unsub to make companies make a change.

I'm not really angry about people having personal house, but I'm upset with the fact that this content is inaccessible by a lot of players.
if possible yeah, just make an instance house where people can teleport to your house from friendlist, maybe keep the wards for FC so a lot of people get a place to hang around?
or if they really want to keep the ward for everyone, at least split FC ward and personal ward maybe?
and some counter measurement ofc, like demolish timer with at least 3 players in FC ? so that no solo FC can get the house in FC ward

I don't like how a lot of people saved up gils and wait for years to find out they can't have a place to hang around with each other
