  1. Here's an idea, instead of having entire wards reserved for FCs, whenever a plot becomes available, have the first lotto be only for FCs and if nobody bids, open it up to individuals. Doesn't fix the supply issue but it would at least make some sense.

  2. I think equating following the rules and having 1 fc and 1 personal house to owning an entire ward is incredibly disingenuous. The two are not the same. I agree with Xenos this time (very rarely happens) This person is intentionally being an asshole, they know it, and they deserve to lose all but 1 house.

  3. @10:36 idk if you get into it, but I stated this correction in his video. It’s not that there aren’t enough FCs to fill up those houses, it’s that all (almost all) FCs went for larges first. It’s going to be a trickle down effect, after the larges are gone, Middles are next, then Smalls. Even then, some companies are prioritizing larges in other Locations, so it’s not that they shouldn’t have made Ishgard FC first, rather, they shouldn’t have done it to the other housing areas especially since a lot of FCs and personals were going for Ishgard. (lb, gob, mist)

  4. I don't care WHY they own multiple houses or an entire ward, I care THAT they own multiples. The fact is, there are a finite number of houses in all of FF14 and the finite number is vastly less than the number of players. Yes, the people doing it aren't THE problem with housing, but they are a part of the problem and one that SE could fix in a couple of days. If I hired a building inspector to come in and tell me what's wrong with my house, he'd give me an entire list, not just one thing and then leave. These are on the list and they are an egregious and deliberate misuse of a finite resource.

    Regarding if they did something about it you said "Yeah but how long does that happiness last?" Essentially forever. That many more houses will make that many more people happy,. Occasionally one will become available and churn and someone else will buy it. Someone that would do this isn't the type of people that we want around.

  5. Most of those houses shown are SMALL. I own a FC and there is no way we would bid on a SMALL house when we want a Medium or a Large. That is how it was in the first lottery and I am sure there won't be a single Medium or Large after this new lottery. THAT is a huge issue. Not giving FCs the first pick.

  6. Sorry – second comment…as of May 2022 – you can ONLY bid on 1 house per account. FC or personal house bid. You can't bid on both. Your alts can't bid. Just 1 per ACCOUNT. This is a good start.

  7. I don't agree with you about FC should have so many wards. You talk about ppl using garden plots and stuff as ppl become less active but in my experience that never happens. Usually in bigger FCs only the officers have access to gardening, decorating, and the workshop. These ppl usually don't let anyone else do that that stuff. Imo FC should just be a message broad thing where you join one to find ppl to hangout with and run content and that it. All those features that locked behind FC housing shouldn't be there at all. The demand for personal housing is far more greater than FC housing and these lotteries are showing that. So they need to abandon this though of FC housing and let wards be free for all of just do instant housing. The system will never be good till they fix the supply problem and the only way to do that is abandon ways of thinking like the neighborhood feeling and let everyone have a instant house. I currently live in a FC only ward and guess many people I see on a daily basis in my ward? None, nada, zero. My ward completely died every day so that neighborhood feeling doesn't exist in my opinion.

  8. Chris people can just create 1 man FC’s and take the free company wards, essentially taking fc ward housing as an individual (doesn’t have to be 1 person taking a whole ward). Isn’t that an issue ? What’s the point of even having personal only versus free company wards if you can just bypass it if you have a few friends that can sign an fc charter for you?

  9. I heard one ward is own by a female player that has personal issues irl. Idk if this true but if it was would you still take away the houses she loves and cherished.?

  10. They definitely overestimated how many fcs are desperate for a house. Still so many plots available yet the individual wards are all full. I also think it was wrong simply separate individuals and fcs. The fc wards are just a bunch of empty plots where as the individual wards may be full, but they barely have any players in them because the owners won’t always be online.

  11. In all honesty, they need to make Apartments more known, and more appealing. Make it so you can increase the size, a garden, etc. But yeah, we've been complaining about the housing issues, really since StB, when the game started getting progressively more players.
