Sorry to break it to you, here. But there's a reason Apartments do not have the features a House does. Yes, it sucks. But it's that way to maintain the worth of an actual Ward plot, instead of a room in a hotel. If Apartments could do everything a House could do, then.. Well, why would you buy a house? Why put 4 million plus gil into a home, when you can get all its features for 1/10th of the cost? Because you'd have a garden?

Like I had said in another thread, everyone is putting so much weight on housing, because its something they cannot get openly. Despite the fact they can, but they're too picky to see apartments as "real housing". Meaning they get little to no sympathy. Beggars can't be choosers.

For most of the playerbase, the house will be bought, decorated (if that) then it'll just.. Sit there. If it's not an FC hall, then it cant do the voyages, meaning its legitimately just.. A decorated room. That may be enough for plenty of people, but (I assume) the majority of people would want a use. Roleplaying grants a use, if only for a temporary basis until you get tired of the venue. (Because RP Burnout is a thing)
