Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?
Put housing plots in the GC loot boxes.

If I could propose to the devs an idea for personal, instanced housing, it'd be a little location based on each of the main cities in ARR and each expansion. A house in a hidden glade in the Shroud, a beachfront cottage in La Noscea, a little oasis in the Saagoli Desert, then maybe a snowswept mountaintop cabin in Coerthas, maybe one of those yurts on the Steppe, a place in the Crystarium or Eulmore, and then something in Sharlayan or Radz-at-Han. That way, there'd still be a bit of an option for surroundings, but everything else would be effectively the same.

This is still my favorite idea. This way the people who want the "community feel" of a neighborhood still get to fight the housing barons, while everyone else gets their cool little adventurer house on its own.

Hell, make it part of a storyline that the realm gives you a drat house for saving all their asses.

No, it's impossible for them to add instanced housing everyone could have because

Instanced housing would suck major rear end. The correct option is just more wards eventually, I think.

I mean that would be fine but basically would lose all the sense of community the rp focused fanbase has been able to build. I'd prefer just hard restrictions on how many you can own and more wards over time.

Like I bumble around the wards a lot just looking in on what other people are doing housing wise or if they've got a venue set up or the like and I wouldn't be doing that if I had to go find a specific player or guild and load into their instance just to peak around, let alone the rp side of poo poo.

shockingly, I just made CC gold rank. I've been maining monk and I'm at this weird crossroads where I sometimes have the least damage and sometimes the most but I do feel that I'm always a thorn in the enemy's side pissing everyone off. Or I'm getting carried a lot. Probably that one.

I do seem to excel at the volcano map, where's monks knockback, stun, and LB interact very well with the fire mechanic.

I mean yeah more wards would be great, but I'd rather everyone be able to get a house through instanced housing than a minority of the players being able to get a house with how it is now

Adding more wards has been the "solution" since day 1 and now it's years later and the problem still isn't fixed.

So long as instanced housing/Island Sanctuary has something to discourage afking in it all day, and they keep expanding and improving the housing ward neighborhoods, it shouldn’t have too many downsides

Apartments need to A) be bigger, B) allow a much bigger item limit and C) need to have a balcony so you can have a little outdoor area without it being a real yard like regular houses

If you didn’t want to be made fun of, maybe you should give up all your houses except one.

Until then, I’m just going to assume that you are a large sapient cockroach that learned how to type on a keyboard.

I would abandon my small plot in a heartbeat if I could upgrade an apartment to a small/medium house sized area and it was given a tiny rear end balcony for me to display my PotD trophies, even if I was the only one that could see them.

If they don't want to make people give up houses they should add the ability to let out houses to other players. That way the housing barons are providing a service, by allowing people who can't afford the capital to own their own home to pay rent to live in one of house baron's homes and everyone wins.

couldn't you already be an ffxiv landlord, as long as the tenant is willing to join your FC? Just give them a role with permissions to do all housing-related activities and kick them if they don't pay their million gil per month

Yes. And we should also make sure that when people can’t make their rent payments we stick their characters in gaol to work off their debts.
But they get charged for being in gaol at a rate higher than they can work off. Game already has company scrip. I’m sure we can work that in too.

I get confused where the appallingly bad takes come from in this thread, since I only see the quotes, but then I remember the one case I start ignoring people is when they won't shut up about their hideous political opinions. No wonder that venn diagram overlaps with petty defensive MMO land barons, jfc.
