Can we please just have instanced housing already?

Please read before making posts like these. SE most certainly CAN and DOES do instanced housing. It's not about not being able to do it. They have chosen the design to be this way.

If you want instanced housing, get an apartment or rent a room in a friend's house or FC.

then this is a terrible design choice and no one should be happy about it.

Too bad your opinion is not shared by everyone else.

it doesn't have to be shared by everyone else, as long as there are people who are unhappy about it which it seems quite a few are then people are allowed to complain. because a game like this is always evolving and always changing and even the design choices of the great Yoshi-P can be questioned and changed.

Please don't take what I say out of context. That statement was in reply to you claiming the system is objectively "terrible" and "no one should be happy about it"... which is utter crap. I was informing you that not everyone shares your opinion and there are a very many people who do in fact LIKE the way it is now.

Complaining is never to be allowed or encouraged, btw. Constructive criticism is perfectly fine, however. In fact, the reason we got Apartments was because people asked for instanced housing. That was SE and Yoshida's response to the call for instanced housing.

But the housing system in the 4 cities isn't going to change, so there's no point in complaining about it. Yoshida and the team designed it that way on purpose, and there are many thousands of players who prefer non-instanced housing (there's a reason non-instanced housing is extremely popular in MMOs).

And as I already mentioned, there's a good chance that the Ishgard Reconstruction will provide some kind of instanced housing, but we'll have to wait and see.
