Just going to preface this and say I do not have a house and have been trying for a measly 10 days to get a (personal) house via the usual placard-clicking method to no success.

I think the 70%~ divide between FCs to personal wards for Empyreum and all future housing plots is a bit much. I think it should have been a case of 50/50 to begin with (or even 40/60) and work on it from there, to at least give first-time buyers (and presumably, relocators) a shot of getting a personal house in Ishgard and the other housing districts.

I understand that SE's focus on housing is for FCs and the neighbourhood aspect of it all but I can't help but think there could have been another way to go about it without adding to the pre-existing housing "crisis".
