Please SE, do something about housing

[KadaRemnant]

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!

This topic is new and interesting, thanks for making a new thread instead of using one of the other 20.

You are not the first nor will be the last to ask SE to do something about housing. The true question is when will people come to terms that clearly SE wants housing to be limited, and not readily available to all.

Those that say well God Yoshi said otherwise in a live letter. Fair, but their actions over the years clearly state otherwise.

I don't think it's that they want housing to remain limited. I think it's that they don't know how to bring it to the full playerbase without the server imploding. "Server limitations" gets tossed out as an excuse for why things can't be added all the time (including seemingly basic things) and I can't imagine a housing fix would be a small undertaking. Not to say that they shouldn't be looking for a fix, but that could be why we haven't seen one yet.

Auto demolish is STILL not active, also many many players own multiple homes on multiple alts and evade demolish somehow. Those issues take priority over “mAkE mOaR hOmeS”

There's like 2 other housing threads active right now. Can you at least look at the front page before making another one?
And they are adding more housing when the Ishgard wards drop (probably in 6.0). Due to how server intensive entire wards are, they can't just add new ones whenever they want, they gotta make sure the servers can support them.

And as I said, they are going to be adding an entirely new ward relatively soon, so assuming that they add an equal amount of Ishgard wards, that'll be a total of 21 wards, which will be 42 more intensive instances for every single server (it'll also be 1260 more houses per server).

In the end the reason as to why is more so budget related and I get that. Housing change is not something they can fix with the snap of the finger. In the end does the why really matter? Does not change the fact housing is a finite resource and a complete overhaul probably not a worthy investment since we do not know how much SE gives the ffxiv team and nor do we know if said budget has restrictions in placed.

Maybe I am just jaded but at this point in time I think any shift from the status quo is a pipe dream.

I sincerely hope that they do put the time and funds into fixing housing, but I'm with you in the fact I don't think we'll see any major changes. My only hope at this point is that they are planning a new type of system with the release of Ishgard housing.

They can remove the rng timer too, first there first served, instead of making us click the placard 1000 times and more. One house in lavender bed is there since 14 hours. It's not normal.
