The FFXIV housing system is fundamentally flawed because supply is so beneath demand that it has priced a substantial portion of players out of the market. This will continue until supply is dramatically increased. Â The current lack of housing is highly detrimental to new players, RP'ers, and casual players in particular for obvious reasons.Â
The solution to the housing problem is not to apologize on behalf of SE, or encourage players to grind out unreasonable sums of gil for purely aesthetic elements of gameplay. Â These approaches will only increase market inflation and exacerbate the problem. The only solution to the housing problem is increasing supply. Â
Housing is an important element of the game for many roleplayers. Â It should not be a luxury contingent on certain social connections or obscene quantities of PVE farming. Â Until supply can keep up with demand, housing will remain critically flawed. Â It doesn't matter how supply is increased (i.e. Â more wards, aggressive reclamation, etc.), but SE's current proposals are unsatisfying vague.
