Housing is horrible

[Themarvin]

What a remarkably silly statement to make.

MMOs frequently add new features that they weren't originally designed to have. By your argument, deep dungeons shouldn't exist because the game was not designed for them. Ultimates should not exist because the game was not designed for them. Eureka and Bozja/Zadnor should not exist because the game was not designed for them. Bicolor gemstones should not exist because the game was not designed for them. And so on and so on.

Clearly it is able to handle housing. We have it.

Where the design fails is that the wards aren't able to keep up with the ever increasing demand due to the continually increasing player population. But the last thing a game wants to do is yank a very popular feature because it can't keep up with player interest. What they want to do is fix the problem so they retain player satisfaction.

I said it is not designed for housing, and it is the thruth, the housing system should had been designed for as it is and maybe they should had taken a look on the best systems to exist that does not, each FFXIV area alone is extremely small for starters.... it is not designed to handle the loads at all, maybe the newage gamers is happy for tiny areas, look pretty much any game today, but it comes down to that developers has ended relying too much on mainstream and shortcuts so a well programmed game is an extremely rare sight today.

FFXIV area wise is having extremely small areas as it is, if it is a limitation to the engine, I don't know I haven't investigated that, but they are small.

Take a cruise from one side to the other in eg. Star Wars Galaxies, and it wont be a short trip.. so it is a perfect good statement saying their is a flaw in the design and in the game itself, look at that they need more hardware everytime they need to add wards and more, it seem like a very inefficient system seen from above.

There's literally tons of smalls with 0 bids since 2 months ago in ishgard FC wards.

I got mine right where I wanted it and it's amazing.
