We deserve an explanantion.

Hubris and not communicating/not listening to a part of their player base is part of what killed FFXIV and brought us this dev team and ARR. At that time we were promised much better. That our new devs would put in actual effort to make the game amazing and accessible. And I will not lie, we got some of that.

But what I see now when one of the devs reacts dramatically to housing questions? Pride. I see pride and I see someone who is refusing to understand their player base. (Hrothgar ears make me see it further but that's for another part of this forum). And I absolutely do not feel we have gotten good communication.

There's a sticky at the top of this forum that is quite old, but very interesting to read in current times. Is Yoshida still grateful for our feedback? Or is he sick of hearing it? Were those promises only for that time or meant to be continuous? Why is the only dev sticky from over a decade ago?

I half wonder if the reason they went so very heavy on FC wards, is because they are aware of the bad press they get about housing. Leaving several FC wards half empty, they can then go "But look, all these houses are still available!"

Frankly I never have trust or hope for corporations, but I cannot elaborate how utterly disappointed I have been in this game since EW. I do not think I would have the wordcount, nor would I be able to take the jumbled mess in my brain and sort them out well enough.

I think if they are gonna exclude a large amount of the playerbase from a portion of the game they should get a discount on their subs since they are missing an opportunity to play the complete game. Or better yet, just do something with apartments so we can upgrade them into equivalent size houses with the same perks that come with owning a house in the game.

It's pretty bad that it's been like this pretty much since personal housing was added to the game, I can still see the post from Yoshi-p about patch 2.38 at the top of the housing forum. If they've been trying for over 8 years to fix housing and can't do it then they need to try something else, or at least give players the exclusive features locked behind a house somewhere else. FC houses don't help either since most FC houses are just the personal house for the FC leader and no one else is allowed to use them.

The problem is the core of the system, and instead of reworking that, they've been patching it and adding band-aids and praying thats enough.

It never has been and never will be.

Ive been playing for over 500 years and not once have i seen a single house for sale! This system is so broken it's amazing. Se must have evil intentions for them to let this continue for so long. Housing is the single most important feature of this game and they dont even offer a small chance to move to a less crowded server that may have open housing. Not even once over those 500 years! Burn the witch!

I play on those dead servers and the housing is full here too. So so much for that.

More new worlds on the way. Then more after that. Then possibly even more in 7.0 Tons of new housing total in the works

Ah, so you're one of those "Here's a bandaid for your Broken Arm" types.

4 new worlds being all the houses added in the next year and a half when there's already a problem with there being too few seems like a poor solution. Those houses are going to be snapped up instantly and then we're back at the waiting game till 7.0, where those houses will also be snapped up instantly leaving everyone else without a house.
