    The fact it even happens at all is a blemish on the FFXIV team. Owning an entire ward shouldn't be possible and should be against the ToS. One FC house per server, one personal house per person (IP address restricted, not account restricted).

    Yes it's ridiculous that people spend this much to corner a ward, but SE needs to step in and say "This isn't allowed"

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    I don't disagree, and I consider the housing situation in this game to be permanent blemish on this team. Their lack of foresight is one of their biggest flaws, and it is what has lead to this situation.

    When I say this is sad; it isn't out of any empathy for the culprit(s), or even this housing situation. What is sad is that the devs have to/need to step in at all due to blatant lack of common courtesy for finite luxuries in the game.

    Well, that sucks, but the rent idea sounds like horribad idea.

    Just like the invisible timer.

    Just like the lottery.

    Why our first reaction is always to wish bad solution to fix bad idea??

    Because people are short sighted and immediately leap to punitive ideas that assuage their outrage rather than actual solutions to the problem.

    Instanced housing would be a better solution, giving everyone access to housing.

    Really, people are complaining about a problem that doesn't exist. I just decided to look into it, and there are *six* servers that has 0 FC plots left. And SE is adding a bunch of new wards soon, so even for the one server that has this problem, a solution is already happening.

    And since its not a problem, then more power to the people that spend all the time and gil it takes to accomplish something like this.
