Why I don't agree with "Instances" as a fix.

We all know that instanced housing won't hurt RP because Wildstar had a thriving RP community

Sure if SE did the same thing Wildstar did it wouldn't HURT the RP community, but then again could it ever be better than WS?

If SE could figure out how to get this system to work better and encourage more communication everyone in the Wildstar community would be jealous how awesome FFXIV was.

The ward system is a great idea that hasn't been fully implemented properly, hence why it's not that great. Given the choice between Instances and a "Fully functioning ward system" a majority of RPs would pick the ward system.

What is a fully functioning ward system? Given that they keep repeating essentially the same system with some visual changes, it seems this is as full a system as Square is willing to put out or the best their systems with their code can handle.

The reason we can't have a great housing system is because we as a community expect to have it all. Do you realize the shitstorm that would occur if they held off on other projects to fix this housing issue?

They are trying to run a business so I understand why it would be hard for them to solve the issue without losing a ton of revenue

Considering how dead Wildstar is on the whole, they're probably jealous of FFXIV already for having people that actually play.

Damn, that burn though.

Honestly, no, and I don't think you speak for a majority of anyone, especially not RPers - so maybe don't use that community to try and bolster your argument. My RP FC's first house was located in a neighborhood full of trolls that liked to spam spells and training dummy as soon as they saw us outside RPing, would burst uninvited into our house at all hours, and surrounded us with chocobo houses. We ended up moving as soon as possible. Our current ward was filled with people that never used their houses and had the bare minimum of an aetheryte. They all scattered and now we're surrounded by empty lots. May as well be instanced.

I would be just as happy if folks could teleport into our own customized little bubble.

I sense so much hostility in this post, I'm not sure why you have to be so aggressive over the subject. I'm sorry that you had such a bad time in your area, you guys shouldn't have to deal with people acting that way towards you. However I can assure you that things aren't always that bad, just a little communication goes quite a long way

Not hostile in the slightest, I just don't agree with people trying to act as though they speak for the majority of a wildly diverse community!

While you can attest for your experiences in balmung, I can do the same for what I see here. There is nothing wrong with you guys having the views that you do on the housing issue, I can just say from personal experience that stories like yours don't happen often on my server "From what I've either soon nor heard" so far. Our community here is flipping awesome, if we were in instanced housing it would essentially ruin the whole neighborhood aspect for us.

Actually Wildstar's housing is one every MMO should model itself after. I played beta for it and then several months afterward. Their quests were more challenging than here also but fun and the npcs had a sense of humor. The only reason I moved to FF was the raid content and their targeting system which I didn't like at all. I hope SE fixes this sooner rather than later.
