So, what now? Lotteries with 150+ bids until... when?

So losing a house for months because there are 100+ bids on a plot is more fun ? You do you.

I have several friends that were never able to get a house because they didn't have the time to invest in clicking on placards for hours and hours.

After losing several plots to other people after clicking for several hours, I stopped trying because of how exhausting and demoralizing it was. I only got my house because they turned on auto-demolition and after 45 days a ton of plots went up for sale and I managed to get one.

I'm kind of curious how those pining for instanced housing would feel if they stepped into their instanced home and noticed that they can't get any of the indoor glitches to work when trying to decorate. You know, because it's entirely different content, and the devs didn't bake those glitches in.

Nah, they'll be too busy complaining that they cannot get into their house because the instance servers are full due to everyone wanting to decorate.

Why would people scrambling to get a house in the first place be more concerned with the ability to glitch furnishings than acquiring the actual house?

Housing interiors are already instanced. Not sure how this even makes sense.

Only way that would happen is if SE goes full on spiteful towards their own playerbase.

It doesn't make sense and it's not even "entirely different content" , and even so the people who made these glitches would just have it up and running again the next day.

Because of a huge reason why most of us get housing: To decorate it. Why wouldn't it be a concern?

I know it sounds like I'm throwing out a gotcha moment, but you do realize we are still talking about the same dev team that made BLU a limited job, chopped off Hrothgar ears to give them more hairstyle options, and are going to totally rework two jobs no one was really asking to be reworked, yes? What on Earth makes you think you will even be able to use the same furniture? Let alone the glitches that are used to create the interior décor? As I said before, instanced housing would be entirely different content. It wouldn't tie into current housing at all, and this seems to be a massive oversight from just about everyone demanding for instanced housing.

If instanced housing does ever make into the game, I hope that is not the case. But yeahhh.

Considering most people upset about not being able to get a house have never HAD a house and don't have any past experience trying to decorate, I'm guessing they'd be fine with it. I wouldn't even know what those glitches are and therefore wouldn't miss them.

This whole system needs to be ripped out and replaced with instanced housing. Let it cost twice as much to get the house if you want to. Upgrades could be a gold sink. Let players create and customize house placards like adventuring plates, and link them in chat (to cut down on the multi-paragraph venue announcements we get in Limsa /shout chat).

Server issue? If FFXIV makes enough for SE to burn a good chunk of it on their NFT crap, they can put some servers in.

Worst case scenario, and with a long explanation, charge players an extra dollar a month for a house. You'd make so much money you'll swim in it.

Housing is fine as it is, no thanks. Instanced housing can stay away.

Gonna assume you're one of the lucky few who was able to get a house and therefore think nothing needs to change? Must be nice.

They can keep the current housing system as-is for all I care and just add a SEPARATE instanced housing district so at least the many people who want to be able to enjoy this part of the game can at least do so, in a public neighborhood or not. Then everyone is happy, problem solved!
