I got a house for my FC back when they added more wards in 2018 I'm far from homeless at this point but I can acknowledge that the housing system was dumb and is now still dumb all they have to do is slowly add more wards, (2 FC 2 hybrid and 2 personal), lower the wait times of the lotto system and it would release a lot of pressure on people who were not around 8 years ago. This should not be hard to do for square; a multi million dollar game company to do.
Not saying the old system was good, but the lottery system isn't much better. Bots still bid on the most popular plots and sell them for real money later. If I want to say anything good about the lottery system, it's that players do have a chance to win the plot even if it was 1 legit user entry V.S 100 bots.

Also looking at this https://www.xiv-housing.com/ made me realize how different the state of housing is between EU and NA.
