Saint title should get first dibs

[Luin]

#1 Lamia Miner in 1st ranking period.

People participated in the rankings knowing what the rewards were. This is why titles remained the same for all Saints. It wouldn't be fair to those that didn't participate.

There's also a housing shortage in XIV. There are fewer Saints per world than there would be houses in Ishgard.

Imagine SEVEN WARDS completely empty, just because they're arbitrarily reserved for Saints. If we don't want to reserve literally 1/3 of Ishgard to Saints, then what's the point of this suggestion, since Saints still have to rush for their housing?

I would be very upset to see such a "bold" decision.

Saint here, I'll just relocate instead of upgrading. That's going to be my dibs.

New housing is exempt from the random timer, unless you mean you intend to relocate to a larger plot outside of Isghard.

Saint title? 12 - 36? C'mon....do the maths. Top 12 for each DoH and DoL, that's 12 × 11
And then there were 4 stages? So 12 × 11 x 4 = 528 saints per server.....wards full of saints xD

396 Saints per world, there were only three ranking periods. Housing zones have 24 wards consisting of 60 plots each (including subdivision). Rounding up, that's 7 wards to be reserved.

No timer but there may be a personal purchase moratorium. Someone who wants a personal house in Ishgard is going to have a much better chance of getting a good plot if they already have a house and relocate. Otherwise, it's going to just be less desirable smalls available for purchase by the time the moratorium is lifted.

I don't remember, did Shirogane have a restriction on private housing? I expect it will release like Shirogane.

I don't believe it did initially. They opened it up like any other ward. SE got quite a talking to from the player base afterwards, forcing Yoshi P to make a lengthy apology. I THINK it was after that they started releasing it to FC/Relocators only for a certain period of time, because the initial release of Shirogane was an absolute crapfest. All housing wards have followed the FC/Relocators first policy since.
