Ultimately for me the issue is the limited wards. Once again (and this was partially my fault) we weren't able to get a FC house. The smalls in all the wards were sold out in minutes.
I know this is only a game, and it's all pretend funtime, but those of us in FCs (especially small FCs) that have the gil and rank for a house but weren't able to get one have put very real work into this game and gotten the shaft again.
This really feels as if I did a big long questline for a month, completed everything in it, and then the last screen said "Sorry, we're all out of quest rewards. We may have more in a month."
The SE defenders keep pointing to the limited server resources, but that's a fallacious argument. 3/4ths of the servers are so underpopulated that they have nearly deserted wards, while the other 1/4 are so overpopulated that their wards are full (like Balmung's), yet they insist on keeping the same number of wards per server. They could cut the number of wards on the underpopulated servers by half without affecting housing their, and that would give them an additional 12 wards for the full servers. But they don't. It's clear that they don't because they somehow think that the way things are working today is fine.
