the housing system in xiv as a whole needs to be completely redone ala how ARR was to 1.0, should have been wards for FC housing then everyone gets an instance where they can upgrade the house over time, i was bidding on a medium with only 3 people and lost, its disheartening and until players start speaking with there wallets by unsubbing i doubt anything major will change, i might be done with this game im not sure, its to the point i only even care about it when there new content or an expac. id even pay irl money for a house at this point i do not care. maybe that could solve it too have 3 wards for mogstation housing something like $15 for small $25 for medium and $35 for large would work as an example
