Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

But that is the attitude many people have about this: "I pay a subscription, I deserve access to everything in the game." Well you have access. Is it great? No, but the oportunity is still there. Housing has always been first come first serve ever since it's inception. Even if if every ward was free of multi-house hoarders there's still no guarantee of a house, much less the one you want.
You, me and everyone else here can make all the proposed solutions to this situation as we want, but until Squeenix is ready to nut up and piss off a lot of people who already own houses nothing is going to change. I was just trying to give an active idea for those interested.

Anyone who takes the addition to instanced housing alongside the ward system as a personal offense is weird and unnatural and their opinion should be discarded, just like the opinions of housing traders and RMTers. If you're going to argue that it's unfair for the people who suffered through the ward system, then I've got bad news for you about placard spamming and the people who were trying to relocate to larger houses.
Also, by definition, the scarcity and the fact that plots fill up means there is no opportunity. That's the point. That's the attitude people should have. For some reason you're arguing for them to do less. Like maybe you wouldn't be so poor if you won the mega millions?

This is a tired argument. A company's resources aren't unlimited regardless of how large they are and several people on here have already pointed out why them throwing more money at this isn't a solution either.

Yours is the tired argument. Their resources don't have to be unlimited to do more than be shady and cheap, they already cut corners in dozens of other areas of the game, the game isn't in financial dire straits with everything at risk of collapsing. They can do more, and them "throwing money at it" is a simpleton's reductive way of putting it. No one in this thread has even once pointed out why this is actually verifiably 100% a technical limitation of the game. On the other hand, I've pointed out why it's possible, because the feature is already there and it just sucks. If, in actuality, it was a problem, I could theoretically just give thousands of people 600k to buy an FC apartment and a regular apartment, and crash the game for everyone, everywhere. If that's not the problem, it's the decorations, which this approach would put above 400 per player per instance. Or, it was a non-issue, like I'm saying; and they're being lazy, which is way more likely.

If you aren't arguing that, then logically you're arguing they added something into the game they knew little to nobody would want because of how much it sucks and is totally inadequate. So, how about no?

As I said to the person above, we can make all the proposed fixes we want, but until Squeenix themselves is ready to do what must be done it means nothing.

What must be done? What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you just say it's impossible? Am I talking to two people, or one? Maybe you're like a figment of my imagination or something and I'm talking to myself, because this is literally what I'm suggesting. I'm not entirely sure why you haven't picked that up.
