Housing. When is this gonna be fixed?

[Rei Rei~]

I keep getting all these housing items from events, quests,etc. BUT THE HOUSING MARKET IS ONLY FOR THE 1% OF THE POPULATION. Maybe have enough houses for the population of the game???? Like come on. When only 1/20 of the people in a server can own a house it's just outright stupid.

There's so many things you're locked out of if you don't have a house. Can't change the color of your chocobo for example.

You guys speak as if Gil's buyers didn't exist, it's a little funny. while they often speak freely about it even on the NN, they talk about their bots too.
This is not fair.

Not on Cactuar. NN is clean and I see a gil seller MAYBE once a week, MAYBE.

But then again Cactuar is locked and has been for years since it is in the top 3 FULL NA servers LOL.

FALSE, you can do this at ANY APARTMENT.

Theres a stable right outside of the apartments.

LMAO you always have the dumbest comments.....

I have multi millions all made legit. You just sound lazy and don't want to put the effort to make money ( stupid easy btw)

Yea gil buyers exist, but smaller percentage than you think. Most people make money legit, it is so stupid easy

I personally wouldn't mind if they had some sort of instanced housing. I don't really understand the appeal of exclusivity of the current housing wards. It's a pretty terrible system and has been since it's conception. I guess some people need others to have nothing in order to make themselves feel better and fill some hole inside themselves?

I'd suggest looking into an apartment or FC housing while you wait on any changes and keep appealing the devs. We might also get some new wards when/if Ishgard housing becomes a thing.

The neighbourhoods are already barren and lifeless. No one visits their houses.

Having 100's of instanced houses would just make everything even more barren, I think.

Housing in this game is a joke. As implemented it's just a mechanic designed to keep people subscribed long term. Keeping it scarce and requiring people to log in often or lose it guarantees it.

Instance housing if done right would solve a lot of problems. Let people visit their friends instances and other instances it could end up being better than what we have. Could potentially let them increase the placeable item count, ect too. I've seen a few threads over the years on the main forums where people have had some pretty cool ideas too. Couldn't hurt to explore the option at least. I mean you say it's barren and lifeless right now so sounds worth improving to me.

My GF has like 50m gil just from selling fish, I have over 12m. I am barely ever below 10m.

Selling fish since 2013?

lol A reliable company with 10 years of experience in the market

Yeah, that's what she does. She just does crafting and gathering, she doesn't run the dungeons. Finds them too stressful.

I stand outside my house often enough because the market board and the bell are near there, plus I can run back into the house and get some other items.
But in reality, my neighbour is always empty. People don't walk around the housing districts, ever. There's nothing to do in the house if you are not roleplaying. You can play dollhouse for so long before you get bored.

In reality, it's worthless 2.0 design concept that didn't get fleshed out properly and is pretty much pointless by now. Whatever the real intention for housing was when the game was released is probably long forgotten at this point.
It's another forgotten feature, like crafting dungeon loot, Grand Company's, Fates, and 8 man story raids.

lets be honest, they only do this so you pay membership fees out of fear for losing your house,
there's a word for it, Extortion.

N... No??? If you're not using your house, you shouldn't get to keep it regardless, dude. And don't get a house if you know you're gonna unsub.

I find it strange to pay a monthly fee and that they can demolish my house anyway if I forget to log in, even while I am paying monthly...

Considering you'd have to "forget" to log in for 45 days, that's a long time to "forget."

They also don't let you play the game if you don't pay membership fees. Is that extortion as well?
