When Endwalker released we had up to 5 hour queues for login. Are you really worried that the player base isn't growing enough because a few very loud people keep complaining about this niche end game feature?

I want instanced housing with my own plot seemingly frozen in time- an autumn sunset with a pumpkin patch but NOOOOoooOOooo I'm stuck between two ugly shirogane houses in the goblet whos yards look like a child with 1 braincell decorated them

Honestly, To get what everyone wants, we'd have to just have an entirely new game at this point

The only thing that is unlikely doable now is making the island sanctuary an instanced house/ island like wildstar

Something more within reach:
Making apartments with 2 tenants instead of 1, increase apartment item limit to 300 because 100 is too small.
Increase the interior item limit, both placement & storage by 100 for each housing size

OMG I miss Wild Star housing sooooo bad!

I'm all for a better instanced housing system but you've gone overboard into making it something complex and restrictive when that isn't necessary.

All you need to do is look at the housing systems in other MMOs.

Other MMOs with housing have been able to do it (and more).

We don't have it here because of a design choice that isn't working out so well now that the game is far more popular than SE ever expected it to be.

Yoshi-P did the housing the way he did deliberately because he saw it in another game and loved the concept of limited player housing. Unfortunately not all of us like it and we've voiced many times we don't like it and giving fine examples of various games that don't use limited player housing that have fallen on deaf ears. It seems that making player housing not limited is not up for discussion as he's dead set into having it this way - that and because of the way the engine was written would probably have a major impact on gameplay and housing if it was to be rewritten from the ground up (as in everyone losing their current houses and having to start from scratch and the game lagging out from drawing millions of new instances.) Yes I know that FFXI already has instanced housing and hasn't had any problems with it, but that's because it was written in that way from the beginning and the game wasn't as popular outside of Japan as FFXIV is.
