My apologies, I misunderstood your post. Others had been talking about their experiences with the old FCFS system and I thought you were referring to the same, not the new lottery system.

Why is everyone spazzing out a month before the Island Sanctuaries get introduced to the game? To my knowledge you'll have a garden and a house in there too, wait and see how it works before spazzing out. O_o

You need to bring yourself up to date on Island Sanctuary information.

There is no house. The farming will not be the same as estate gardening. People want access to Thavnairian Onions and other somewhat expensive gardening products. Island Sanctuary is not providing it.

The most likely scenario for the average player was to NOT win in week 1 when there were the most plots available. Supply shortage.

The best course of action for an individual player was to go after a small on week 1 instead of a large or medium. It wouldn't have guaranteed anything, but we now have smalls with triple digit entries. There were smalls in Week 1 with single digit entries. That was the best odds.

Can we just get a housing rework instead of one for DRG/AST?

That would be nice.

Like for real we going to have 3 different housing systems in 6.2. normal house that most want, apartments that let's be real no 9ne want and the new island that going to suck ass.why not just give normal house system in place if this BS.

Unpopular opinion: Turn auto-demo back on and there will be a ton of freed up houses. Not to be harsh but really, how many players are there in the Ukraine and would they care more that their virtual house auto-demoed than their real house?

This doesn't fix the problem.

What happens *after* those houses are taken again? You're still left with thousands of players who can't get a home.

Instanced housing is the only solution.

It fixes it for the people who get a plot. I've been enjoying my house for a couple of years and it was a demolished plot. Turning on auto-demo doesn't mean we can't also get instanced housing one day.

Actually if they ever got the MB retainer fixed and cross world or region. They could create housing worlds. Or even whole housing data centres. Would take some stress off the home worlds. But any solution requires one thing, money. And clearly we aren't big enough whales feeding SE to get that.

No one in FFXIV is entitled to a home, yet everyone thinks they are. Everyone also thinks they are entitled to a large or a medium at the least, which is why so many smalls were left with 0 bids when the entry periods ended. Those could have been easily picked up by anyone willing to settle on a small during earlier entry periods, and I'm quite sure a select few players realizing this swooped one up without a second thought.

tl;dr? I strongly suggest coming to terms with the fact that housing is finite. I don't say this to be a jerk, I say it for your own well-being for crying out loud. This is not the kind of thing to stress over. Seriously.

Who made you the voice that decides who is entitled and not entitled. Shocked pikachu face isn't enough to say how shocked I am, some random player deciding who isn't entitled. This should be clearly addressed in a LL if that is how SE feels about its players.
