Haha. That's how I feel about mog and chocobo exteriors. Muh property value!

So far I only heard of house owners being happy that so much life returned to their immidiate surrounding, but then again, I got my apartment in the Goblet (my own choice, not because others were already full..what's with all the Goblet hate btw xD).
Over there, absolutely nothing changed since the building was there before, the bridge leading up to it was there before, heck, even the ENTRANCE DOOR was there already! Only change is an extra market board and retainer bell and chocobo stable, which said direct neighbour house owners are actually happy about since before, those houses were grade 5 plots that were a whole journey away from the next MB and now it's right out their garden :)
I have been busy furnishing my apartment, so I haven't spent much time at my house since yesterday, will need to check how bad it looks ingame in my ward. SeraphimXI's picture does not make it seem that bad, but then again, it's daytime so the lighting wouldn't be a problem.
A little blown out of proportion for sure. I checked it out for myself last night. Granted I can't compare to what it was before but it looks fine to me. I tried to make our FC one in mist look bad by trying different angles too but just couldn't find a complaint. Even from my house on plot #1 it looks fine.
Agree with all of this (and I actually chose Uldah/Goblet too as the 1st choice for an apartment..they have the best sunrise of the 3 areas! Go watch it!)
OP...if you were trying to prove point using the pic..methinks it had the opposite effect....that looks BEAUTIFUL at night! It reminds me of the sylph's territory (and strangely reminds me of Legend of Mana for some reason lol) Either way, it can't be all that bad~ Aside from the fact that you're more than likely to hear your roe'n'lala neighbors makin the bed creak, now you'll have lotsa activity in your area to liven things up.
On the other hand..I kinda get your pain a little. I spent about 2 months trying to find that place that fit me JUST right (Lav beds plot 49 by a quiet pond and a big ole tree ina nice shady corner!) so If SE decided to suddenly add houses to block out my view...ya..I guess Id be a bit..annoyed too.
Wow that really is rather close, sorry to see
Thankfully our FC house up top is not near the Apartment complex
Oasis apartments are in the best spot on a cliff overlooking the city and a waterfall.
