This is what I have done. And I couldn't be happier. Farewell, crappy XIV housing.

The fishing weeklies are a competition. By nature, a competition only has a few winners. Housing is not a competition in any reasonable MMO, except for making bigger and grander displays - not to just get in the door. Attempting to equate fishing weeklies with a massive development feature that can hook people to a game for a long period of time and gives them an established place of their own in the game world is like saying that a pebble is the same as an apple.
