Will Housing ever be addressed in any meaningful manner by the XIV team?

[Naunet]

And comparing this to any other MMO housing is like comparing an apple to a coconut... other games have unlimited instance houses... we have a limited neighbourhood system...

Thus the desire for SE to switch to instanced housing... (more like comparing a perfect, juicy, just-sweet-enough apple to a rotten coconut...)

Those eyesore empty homes? You wouldn't be bothered by them at all in instanced housing.
