Housing Credit System

Can you share your statistics please?
How were these stats compiled?

I used https://ffxivcensus.com/ for population estimates and counted the number of available houses on each server in my datacenter as the sample set. At the time I wrote this every server in my DC on average only had a handful of plots available. Larger sample set across all DCs would improve accuracy which is why I mentioned it's a "pretty big statistical assertion", but keep in mind many institutions regularly support statements with much smaller sample sizes!

280000 active NA players based on ffxivcensus/24 servers/5520 plots per server = approximately 2 players per house. If this is close to reality, it means about half of active players would be without a home or sharing FC housing and apartments.

Well said, weary of the "entitled" thinking they should get more than any other subscriber by time spent or deeds done No imagined "punishments", this is supposed to be a positive experience lol.

Not sure how the thread started to take this turn, but appreciate the positivity and reinforcement that we are all equal!

Unless anyone has any other thoughts on this thread I would consider this topic closed as SE has announced a new housing lottery + FC system. Thanks everyone for your feedback and discussion!
