This. Mainly because this has happened to me. Never again will I buy a room that relies on another player's authority to even exist.

You know, they could eventually create "expansions" for your apartment, increasing its size. A bit like the aquariums? Since there's like 4-5 grades for those, why not the same for apartments?
Or better yet, treat apartments like the ships in FC houses. You collect mats etc to extend the size of your apartment, maybe up to 3-4 times? Right now the apartments are fine, I abandoned my FC chamber for an apartment and, atm, I don't really feel I need more room. Not yet.. anyway...

In my new apartment like;

It's a great market board and retainer teleport. That's a pretty good feature right there.

I hope we could get a mail box or a postal moogle please. Or even a new furnishing like a tiny mail box for indoors. There's currently no where to get mail in the wards if all you have is an apartment there.

On a side obviously way down the road request ... perhaps a small balcony with a small 4 patch or so garden. Just enough to cross breed.

I can't get a real house because all the plots are bought up, even though I have the money. It would just be nice to have an extra floor or something.

That's be nice. I'm not really an advocator of the whole "put x item from XI in" but I sure do want the Moghouse to come over and be the "for all players" room.

If they allowed some form of gardening with the owning of an apartment, then I think it would generally give all the benefits of a house...

500k was worth it for the cheap teleport to market board alone.

This is exactly why I bought one. I now have cheap teleports to all cities of frequent visitation.
Limsa, Mor Dhona and Ishgard are favorites
Idyllshire as my home point
Ul-dah (Goblet - FC house)
Gridannia (Lavender beds - apartment)

I'd really like to see this added.

Or alternately, something I suggested a while back was indoor planter boxes with two plots. That'd be smaller than the gardens houses can have, and would be small enough to look suitable indoors, but would be just enough to allow for crossbreeding. (But then SE added the pots instead, for just single plants. I'm afraid that lowers the likelihood of that two-plot planter idea, since they seem to think gardening is covered, but without crossbreeding, it really isn't.)


p.s. I have a FC house now, so can garden, but I feel bad for those who can't. I don't think anyone should be cut off from significant game features just because of housing plot shortages that they have no control over.
