And that would make sense if most of us saw other actual players in their respective wards. The last time I saw anyone at all was weeks ago. lol

That's cause people who buy their houses either stop playing or never goes to their house aside of every 45 day.

Also there is little to no incentive to be in your ward. I spend 99.9% of my in-game time when im not in a duty at my house or FC house but we're a rare kind.

Can we get flying houses so I don't have to buy a plot?

Don’t need the fat chocobo pooping on my house TYVM

We don't need flying in the wards. The zones are so small it would be like bouncing from wall to wall in a walk-in closet. The Aethernet shards already give us quick access to other parts of the wards if needed, unlike the larger open world zones that lack an Aethernet.

Yeah, it definitely isn't needed. There are many other things that the game needs. Flying in housing wards isn't one of them. I made a similar argument about flying in ARR areas though and we all know how that panned out.

Some ARR zones do have annoying enough designs that it's helpful, though. Any time I have to revisit the Burning Wall in Thanalan, I'm glad I don't have to do it on foot anymore.

None of the maps are connected to any other map. Some of them might have a recognisable other zone in the distance, but that's just a copy. Most of them just have bordering cliffs and mountains to stop you from seeing out.

Plus, I would love watch zone when I flying in housing area. Or I can sit on my house's roof.

Main cities like Uldah-Limsa needs to be reworked and expanded, people should be able for example in Limsa to swim and in Uldah more open spots and less loading screens, obviously with the inclusion of being able to use mounts. I mean what's the point of having 200 mounts if you can't use them?.

it's worse in Gridania where it's split between two areas and a 'mysterious' third area that has been blocked off since 2.0 which has some low poly buildings still in there with even the original north shroud exit all still there which these guys in the spoiler below showcase what i'm talking about.

i've been waiting since 2013 for them to open these blocked area off since I just assumed they were going to add them in later and yes... im still waiting.
