Erm, unless you've surveyed or spoken to every active FFXIV player, your personal experience with some dozens - or maybe even hundreds - of players says nothing about what the other millions want. One popular YouTube video does not mean "everyone." One Reddit thread with 10k upvotes does not mean "everyone." You being certain in your head does not mean "everyone."

I do not know where you got this idea, but none of the preceding examples even suggest a majority. Barring the last, they only suggest a moderately popular opinion.

I prefer a small plot at this point in my FFXIV journey. And I am not in any way unique - there are others that share my opinion. That's why I'd never state that "everyone wants small plots and the only reason people buy medium or large is if there's nothing else available." Because that's silly. I don't know what "everyone" wants. Either here or in real life (a huge lesson that hundreds of millions of humans still need to learn... but I digress.)

Reasons:

- I do have enough Gil to bid on a medium plot. I don't want to spend all my Gil on that plot and be broke.
- A small plot takes a fair portion of my Gil that I wouldn't be bothered to part with.
- I can furnish a small house with the items I've got in my apartment, plus a reasonable additional amount I can afford.
- I could not furnish a medium house for two reasons:
----A) I'd be broke after the plot purchase; and
----B) Even if I was not broke after the purchase, I don't have an income sufficient to furnish that medium house in any reasonable amount of time.
- Aesthetically, I like the cozy look of a small plot and house. As in real life, not everyone wants the sprawling mansion on the hill, even if they have the money. Personally, even if I won the Mega Millions tomorrow, I wouldn't go get some enormous house. I really only want what my wife and I need; the excess would seem a terrible waste to me. I live in a medium-sized house now, and I'd just live in a badass ultra-modern medium-sized house in a different location after the win. Six swimming pools and a spa room aren't needed in my life.

Anyway, realistically - since we're talking video games here and not real life - Gil is an issue for many players. Again, just because you may have hundreds of millions, or your FC has hundreds of millions, or your favorite streamer has hundreds of millions, or you saw a Reddit thread with 50k upvotes where every response was "I have hundreds of millions of Gil," doesn't mean that everyone - or even a majority - has access to the finances needed for a medium or large.

At any point in life, you should be speaking for yourself, not for others - and especially when you don't have a reasonably factual idea of what "everyone else" wants.
