In all honesty this just encourages shell fc creation. Less stress that way. On Diablos myself and I’m probably not gonna get the place I wanted on Lavender beds. 🤷♂️
Same on Famfrit. I rolled on a medium plot this time. I have 0 confidence I'll win the roll. 10 have also rolled on same plot.
You have totally missed the point here, along with some important information. The point is that housing was originally designed (as I understand it) for FC's. FC's derive direct benefits from having a house and prior to the lottery had bugger all chance of getting one. The important information is that all those FC only wards will not remain that way permanently. SE have said that after a given period of time (don't remember if they said how long) those wards will be open to private housing. So cool your jets. Private housing is a vanity and a convenience. Also the enjoyment of decorating. FC housing is a direct benefit for members. I have seen others put forward your view and I find it shortsighted and more than a little selfish.
i feel this so hard, im bidding on the very last med in my ishgard housing for private and right now there is 160 people bidding 🙁 my dreams are crushed , but seeing that FC houses have so many open just makes me so salty. good luck on your plot man!
Placed a bid for my FC. Found out I couldn't bid on a personal after–and when I tried (and failed) there were dozens of people at the few available personal placards. I check FC houses and they're all small FCs like mine–no more than 10 members for the vast majority. I've been looking at bids on FC plots on my server and most have 0 bids. Fuck this, I would take back placard hell back over this and THAT was bullshit.
Remove the restrictions Squeenix, I transferred just before this got implemented and this is crushing. I'm with you man, my only reason for staying consistently subbed is personal housing.
Sorry but I completely disagree, if that was the case why are they going to be opening up extra unused plots in FC Wards for Private ownership? Square Enix already said that this would be happening.
i think you are seeing this the wrong way: this is basically a real state simulator. its almost as bad as rl real state hunting lol, and the reason nobody buys the ishgard houses is because Empyreum is fugly, heyoooo. nah, all jokes aside(but for real i really dont see the appeal of Empyreum, even the goblet looks better imo, but i know this is a completely subjective opinion and personal tastes) the housing system in this game is broken..
It is absolutely batshit crazy. FC housing…EVERYONE WINS! Private housing……we have a cardboard box for you guys…yaaayyyy! I had better win this time. I mean…this makes NO SENSE. I would love to just to be able to plant stuff!!!
HOLY SHIT!!! 55 people for that one?!?!?
Dear friends who believe SE can do no wrong. That somehow the FC wards being opened up to everyone "someday" fixes the issue.
That wanting a personal house is somehow selfish in a bad way…
That's fine, we don't have to agree. Feel free to comment, but please keep it respectful.
If you can't stop yourself from being cruel, please simply refrain from commenting.
Thank you so much!
