Please release more wards

[HeyMcFly]

Mateus has 0 open plots, at least 0 of which are available for bidding. Sorry but I am not happy about the housing situation. I pay a subscription just like anyone else, and part of the game is unavailable to me because there are no houses available for purchase. I have the gil, in fact I have ample gil to not only buy a large, but a small and medium too. What am I supposed to do with all my gil? I don't need anything if I can't own a house. I'm sick of housing being used as part of the lure of the game. Be honest... take it out of your ads because it is simply something no new player will ever achieve. And I think what frustrates me the most is the people who are grandfathered in and able to own multiple houses or in some instances an entire ward. Either upgrade the system so you can add more wards, or figure out something else, or better still reopen the entire aspect of losing your home if you haven't entered it in 45 days. All in all, this experience is turning me off playing FFXIV, especially since there are many other games out there that offer housing and have it done right.

SE certainly needs to take out the housing from their advertisements- Because someone coming in expecting some easy house buying process that they may be used to in any other game that has it, will be met with disappointment when they find out how it's all RNG, that there are also people who own entire wards, that there are also "fake" (aka: shell) FC's were made just to get a house, and that there is no way to get a house because the demolition timer was turned off.

Housing being optional content, but that doesn't mean it should be limited availability & most of the player base locked out of it- we pay to have access to this game so we can experience all it has to offer- not be cut out due to 'small-indie-game-no money's' short sightedness or unwillingness to make improvements to optional or side content.

If they would finally give us instanced housing, I would dump my ward house without blinking. We don't need more wards; we need instanced housing added alongside the pre-existing ward system as an alternative.

But as we all know stubborn will do what they want to do even if it's a detriment to the game they claim to love so much. I mean, look around lol

IMO the ward system as it stands today is just a bit too inflexible. Every world has the exact same number of wards. Provide enough wards to cover the demand in Balmung or Mateus and there will be vacant houses on the less populated servers. The ward implementation itself requires enough computing and storage resources that they need to add additional hardware to expand.

If they want to continue adding new wards I think they need to rewrite the ward system to be more dynamic so that different worlds can have different numbers of wards.

Ok Se heres what ya do..

YOU deco the front yards and make each house door have 10 difernt zones of the inside of the house so 10 people live in each house (Its done in eq2 many more then 10 and you even get a open roof looking down on the main city)

Doing take takes your 7,200 houses per server to 72,000 plenty for Fc and characters on the server

I saw the title thought it said, "MORE WANDS" And I'm like "YES, finally something I can back, one handed mage was so much better" ....

Bumping this thread because everyone deserves housing. Secondly private houses should have access to a workshop so players can generate more gil for themselves.
