I'm not paying $15 a month just to lose the lottery every time

[Motav]

Fair warning there's nothing here worth reading just go back right now this thread isn't worth your time

I don't even care that this post will either get deleted, get no attention, or that I'll get flamed cuz that's right I'm here just to scream into the stupid void I'm only already not even caught up on the 6.1 storyline anyways I'm so uninterested I stopped playing essentially less than 2 months into the expansion but I kept my sub active anyways but this is just LAME.

Well over 100 available basic small plots available to spread attention around, many of which only have a lottery of 2-3 players and I STILL can't get a house. And I've been waiting literally god dang forever and this was my best chance. BeTtEr LuCk NeXt TiMe hurr hurr hurr nah man better luck for everyone else next time I'm sick of this garbage I couldn't get a house before in the old system cuz I didn't want to run a bot program to auto-click a placard for days on end and I can't get one on this system either because I have to wait what, 9 days irl just to lose even an extremely small lottery anyways.

Idk why I even kept my sub going but you know what this game just takes up my hard drive space and has been getting money out of me for actually no reason and yeah nobody is gonna care that I'm gone cuz the servers are still pretty full the game is doing really well but like I said I'm just screaming into the void I hate this so much I ain't doing it anymore freaking swtor has available housing and that game is old and lame but at least I can just drop some credits and get started decorating but on this game I can house hunt for 2+ years and end up empty handed fffffffffffffff

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I feel ya I've been there. I decided not to bother with the lottery and my peace of mind is much better off for it.

housing is overrated

Maybe I've just been lucky, but every FC I've been in have had a house.
I've never felt the need to have one myself because of that.

I mean sure maybe some people are sad because their FC doesn't have a house, but I think the bigger issue, and the source of most of the complaints, is that people want a PERSONAL house because they want to be able to garden freely and decorate outdoors. My FC's house is a place I can visit sure, but it doesn't provide any of the things I actually want a house for. I want one I can decorate my own way, and gardening plots I can use to my heart's content without competing with a bunch of other people for the space. I just feel like a visitor in my FC house (yeah I can get a room, but again, no personal garden and no outdoor decor). It may not matter to some people, but some just really want to be able to do that stuff.

To bad, Im here reading it because you posted it in a Public area
YOU CANT STOP ME >:-D

But I do question....because I personally dont understand it.
Why is Housing in FFXIV such a make or Break for some people? Only keeping a Sub ($15 a month) so you can keep your house/Get a house in a videogame
No shade and Im not trying to insult anybody, but is a virtual house really THAT important? Sure Id like one to if I could get the gil for one and not be poor, but Im not unmotivated to play the game over it.

IDK, its just weird to me.
But no, I can get behind how frustrating the process is as well. A lottery is a pretty dumb idea...

I just like making my own place. Thats probably my main interest in housing. (Also a nice way to craft without the need to seeing anybody)

Other than that you have the workshop with the airships and submarines behind them (which includes pets and other stuff) and you have the plants that you can only get there (or by paying way too much money on the MB)

On top of that you have SE that seems to believe, that its fine to give us so many housing items as rewards while quite a few people wont ever be able to use them...

I just want to win the Cactpot once. :/

Because you have people who plays a game Just for PvP, and some for PvE. You can find people who play just to make RP, or dress the character. The same way, we have people who like housing, and play just to explore this system.

Similarly, for those crafter's amongst us, having the opportunity to have a garden, opens up so much more items to sell and make gil. Not all endgame content is pvp, savage or RP... each to their own I suppose
