This is kind of a ridiculous oversight in my opinion. Any chance we can get a post moogle added outside the apartment in a future patch? Or even in the lobby. I bought one on my alt and it's annoying to have to port to my FC house in another ward or to a city to check my mail.
I know this has been said in another thread but this really needs its own post here I think.
Why do apartments not have a mailbox?

It's a really silly oversight...It kind of defeats the "one-stop" purpose the apartments were going for...the fc housing without the fc. One would think they'd add a mail system lol.
Hopefully they'll add it in future 3.4 patches..if not../sigh amazing concept wasted lol -

I agree. The lobby needs a mailbox.

Why not ask for them to put a delivery moogle in the lobby? The lack of a bathrooms, restrooms, closets, and ESPECIALLY balconies in the apartments is way more an issue. Having balconies would definitely help with making the Lavender bed apartments look prettier for both the inside and outside of the building. Maybe add some flowering vines and a brighter coat of paint to the outside walls.

But, a lot of players have made comments about the apartment's design looking like an ugly prison-like structure, so it would be like hitting two birds with one stone.Quote:

They probably didn't add one because of the complication of the permissions needed for it. Since it's in the housing district if one was added it would have be accessible only to the residents of the apartment (since right now you can't use anyone elses mailbox in that area unless you have permission).
Or maybe it was just because if they have an outside one but only residents can use it then it's confusing to non-residents as to why they can't use it, but if they put it indoors that's unusual too since it's an outdoor item normally.
Not that there can't be exceptions made etc, but I think they probably just thought "Lot less complicated not to put one in" -

If you share a house you can use their mailbox so I'm sure that tag is easy to handle.

I think just having a post moogle inside the lobby would be the best thing. Give a reason for people to hang out in the lobby perhaps, and even if you can use it without having a room I don't really think anyone would care.

We can have the best of both worlds by merging the lobby into the housing district then put a kupo in the lobby.
-
10-11-2016, 07:51 PMBesameThen to make it fair for ppl with housing they would have to put them at least outside every small housing alcove area. I had to travel to get/send mail untill I got lucky enough to get that freaking whisker and make my own on property mailbox.Quote:

I wouldn't have a problem with the apartments getting a mail-box, even though I had to buy one for my personal house.
If it was free for anyone to use in the Housing District, it would benefit house-owners nearby who were unable to afford a personal mailbox or simply wanted to use that slot for a different piece of garden furniture.
Even if it was locked to apartment tenants only, I wouldn't take issue with it. Apartments cost more than FC rooms, so a few extra perks wouldn't be outrageous. -

This was one of the upcoming features Yoshida confirmed to be coming soon during the "Please Look Forward to It!" Q&A panel at the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Festival in Las Vegas.
So... Please Look Forward to It! :cool: -

Yoshi stated at the NA Fan Fest a mailbox will be added to the appartments area however, he did not state when this will be added.

Because apartments are a garbage solution to an incompetent housing system.
