Many people agree that the housing system currently is trash. My biggest issue with it, aside from the ridiculous RNG timer coupled with the ridiculous RNG chance of any one person grabbing said house, is how Square Enix thinks it's completely okay to hold seasonal events with housing items as rewards.
If you're not going to meet the demand or come up with a better system for players to acquire housing that doesn't require them to be at a plot clicking and spamming for so many hours, then why add these items into events?
Now I know what you're thinking: "Oh but we have apartments!" - except, these apartments aren't capable of nearly as much fun and neat things as you would be capable of with a house. Also, some seasonal items this year that have been offered are also outdoor furnishings. Outdoor furnishings not acquired through seasonal events but instead are craft-able are also unavailable to those who own an apartment. I hope we're starting to see the bigger picture now.
My point is: fix the system. That, or stop holding seasonal event rewards that are mostly housing items. Getting tired of the posters, the food and all the outdoor items they released this year to only be able to use in an apartment. Also, it's blatantly wrong, in my opinion, to charge people for past items from seasonal events that are housing items when most people have no place to be putting those seasonal items if not in their apartment storage ( very few slots to use up there, probably get a year's worth of storage and two if you have an apartment strictly for holding the seasonal items ) or retainers. As most people have said, though, SE only listens to the almighty dollar, so only time will tell if they actually want to fix their horrible housing system or let it stay as is.
