Housing failure... Again, and a few other comments

[GomezAddams]

I just want to say that I've never been more horribly let down by a game in my life. Twice now. Once because 6.0 was just a really, really, REALLY long movie. Now, because of housing. The one freaking thing in the game I absolutely want to participate in, and you've gone and ruined it once more.

This system is even more unfair than the last one. I would rather sit around clicking a board all day than to have my name thrown in a pot with umpteen other people, and then have to wait FOR DAYS, without my money, until you award the house randomly. You've got people out there bidding on 4 or 5 medium plots right now, but you can only own ONE. You shouldn't be able to have more than one bid out at a time. THAT is fair.

You limited personal housing to only 5 out of 24 wards. I just spent an hour running through all the FC wards. Most houses have zero bids. Go to the personal ward, EVERY PLOT has over 7 bids already, regardless of size. Not to mention my girlfriend and I can't even purchase one of those unbid-on plots for our FC, because it's just the two of us, not four. That's random. How do 4 people deserve a guild house more than 2 people?

I just can't with this company anymore. It's like the twilight zone of MMOs. The decision making lately just blows from a consumer standpoint, and from a player standpoint.

Oh yeah, thanks soooo much for the shiny new crafting/gathering gear that's ridiculously hard to make and requires massive amounts of materials. Since that exact gear is the ONLY gear in the game currently that REQUIRES that gear to make, it's POINTLESS. Do you guys actually look at what your doing before, during, and after you're doing it? That's a complete circular pattern there. I've been disappointed by you for the last time, SE. It was fun, but this current attitude isn't gonna cut it for me anymore.

6 Wards : 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24

It's not just you, it's a vast number of people on the NA forums who are getting it wrong.

Make an alt each.... invite each other's alts to your fc.... bid on FC house?

Additionally, once you do that, BOTH place a bid on the same property and double your chances.

And thats the problem 1% of people often hardcore players hogging up an entire market.

I love to decorate as much as anyone else and would dearly love to have a larger space to house an RP venue in, but you're not wrong. I've bought and lost two houses over the years, the last time in Stormblood and the lack of one in 100% honesty hasn't reduced my enjoyment of the game or negatively impacted my game play in any significant manner other than being able to walk away for a couple months if I feel like it.

What makes you think that it works otherwise right now? From what I understood, you can't have more than one single bid. Period.
How exactly did you come to conclusion that someone is "bidding on 4 or 5 medium plots" at the same time? o_O

If you have alts that are eligible to purchase land they can bid on whatever plot you want as long as you're willing to risk the lost Gil should the Twelve be gracious and you win more than one. I had both my main and alt place bids on the same plot even, two chances out of the many are better than one, right?

I want to tell you to put your name in a jar, and to move on with your life. Well... I am still saying that. But I oft wonder with the shear amount of housing items placed in the seasonal events rewards pool, if the devs kinda twirl their mustaches a bit. Kind of like having a few ant colonies, and giving them limited resources just to see them destroy each other.

Customer standpoint and player standpoint...... does it mean your standpoint? I mean from my standpoint its fine and i am also a customer and a player, no one can satisfy everyone, it cant satisfy you but satisfy some others enough, the hardest thing about making product is, most satisfied consumer stay happy and be quite about it while the little unsatisfied one can be totally vocal about it and justify it as the entire or most player/consumer standpoint, just make your complain and make critical argument about it, dont state it as if you represent others or even the entire or most others opinion

Interesting how bad it is before it's even resolved its first round of selection.

Not to mention they said they're keeping an eye on how it rolls out and possibly changing the distribution.


Go try for a house, see what happens.
