Housing is the biggest load of crap

"I'm losing" not "We're Losing" yep FC of alts vs FC of accused alts. nice

For someone who spends arguably way too much time on the forums, you'd think you'd have learned how to read. Here, let me circle in crayon so you can see better; if you need an adult to sound it out for you, let someone know:



I even state in the next sentence I'm happy with my small personal plot, but go off. Instead of getting the "yeah, that sure is a lot of people putting in a lot of money into a lot of bids not to win" you somehow got "ME ME ME" out of that entire post, and I cannot in good faith continue using oxygen to explain words to you.

So yeah, anyway....

I like the Ward system. Mist>Shirogane.

At the very least a small plot on island sanctuary

Level 5 grind to unlock?

Mist is cool at night in the day for me at least it's like discord light me. Love the beach tho.

This game is the biggest load of crap*

Fixed it for you.

Though.. the game isn't really that bad, it's actually just the players that make it as trash as it is.

It amazes me on how the community perception has changed so rapidly over this expansion.

Went from a game that could do no wrong to a game that cant do right lol

I've entered 44 lotteries and lost every single one, why do we have an entire private instanced island but asking for a house is too much? Why am I having to put my hands in RNG that apparently hates me to no end when it could be as simple as adding new wards when someone buys a house. It would be a good gil sink to combat the sales of gil, it would prevent people from being locked out for ELEVEN MONTHS from something they want or need for their FC.. honestly, this whole system is a hot pile of garbage and needs to be fixed.

For gods sakes, crappier games like SWTOR even know this is a dumb idea and just have personal instanced strongholds.. why is that so difficult?

Unlucky.

It took me almost a year of weekly bidding to win a medium.


Your time will come, keep on truckin'

In the end, SE’s approach to the housing system is justified.
It’s fair to say that Yoshida has a solid understanding of the MMORPG ecosystem, where no game can sustain a massive player base beyond ten years.
Currently, on Leviathan, there are many small plots with no bidders, while all the bidding activity focuses on medium and large plots.
If housing demand were truly high, these smaller plots would be claimed immediately once demolitions begin again.

I actually feel like the number of open small plots might be signaling that housing demand isn’t as high as some think, rather than the opposite. I did a quick look at current unoccupied plots (numbers may vary slightly depending on updates):

OCE: 24,440

NA: 20,960

EU: 2,854

JP: 6,100

Of course, population differences between worlds play a role, and no one should have to transfer just to own a house—but that could explain why opening new wards isn’t necessarily a top priority.

OCE is high simply because… well, it’s OCE. NA is high largely due to Dynamis. EU and JP are on the lower end, unfortunately.

Still, one could argue there’s little harm in opening an additional 3 or 6 wards of plots to ease availability. Personally, I’m not a fan of instanced housing—I quite enjoy the ward system—but it does have its limitations.

Just my two cents.

I found two unbid small plots on the same server. With less than twelve hours left on timer

I find it hard to believe that there's a crisis when when players are so picky for a plot they want so badly

That's the thing though. As pointed in my comment above. While I understand everyone's frustration with housing, it appears to be more pickiness vs just wanting a plot in some cases. I know I am picky wanting a Shirogane medium and I am okay with knowing that it might take ages. It sucks. But its hard to send the right message to the devs when there are worlds with plots that have been open for 3 years, yes looking at OCE and Dynamis.

Come transfer here in OCE you will get lots of HOUSE! just leave that NA server. it is a failing DC
