I know I will catch flak for this but I'm going to say it. We need instanced housing, And I have a petition here for that. We need a better housing system. The lottery thing is ok, But something else needs to happen.

No we do not.
Add more wards to fix the housing scarcity.
There are other games if you want instanced housing, or apartments in FFXIV.
At most 1 or 2 additionals maybe per ward yeah, no more than that though, larges should still keep their "status" that they have right now, while smalls are extra common which is how it should be.
Its basically an upgrade system, you start with a small and you work your way up, which I think is fair, the problem is that the scarcity is making that near impossible, that's why I've already suggested a dynamic ward system instead of what we have now.
Ward 30 is full on small houses
-> Ward 31 opens
-> Ward 31 smalls are all taken
-> Ward 32 opens
rinse and repeat.
This also creates more larges and mediums in the process as well.
Everyone wins.
I feel like it would be fun/amusing to add a rich quarter of all large houses for like 1 or 2 wards.
Could do the same with small/mediums.
Add small house to island sanctuary
=> Prob solved.
Housing needs to be all instanced. Not just apartments.
No amount of more wards is going to "fix" the housing scarcity. Do you realize how many players play this game?
A better solution is to keep the current ward system but make it into a premium feature while they introduced instanced houses for players to purchase so they can use all of the furnishes theyve acquired playing the game.
Theres no reason to gatekeep a simple basic feature in an MMO just to fuel your ego.
