My Housing system ideas

[Barraind]

I believe housing in FFXIV was designed for players to experience their neighbors unique ideas and inspiration for their housing decoration. Instancing housing entirely, because of this, seems like the wrong idea for me.

Housing in 14 was designed specifically for FC's.

Your proposed idea would make it harder to do any of the things people use FC's for (Have fun trying to get multiple people to sit around in the workshop every time you want to send out ships/subs, especially if you arent sending them all to the same place, no matter how large your FC is) and solve more or less none of the issues the housing system has.

FC's arent struggling to find houses, FC's are struggling to find Large houses.



Make everything instanced, keep one ward of each housing district as the hub zone for those instances, populate it with more vendors to turn it into a true hub city, make garden patches usable inside and bam, you fix almost all the problems housing has.

FC's don't need Large houses, no more then single players need them. With exception of gardening the only major added value is more rooms to decorate for the home owner (in this case the FC leader). Very, very, very few FC use them to hold meeting and there are no other (valid) added values for a FC to have a large house.

My FC has given almost everyone the ability to decorate the FC house. We all contribute and so we all have the ability to drop in new furniture. We also use our War Room for meetings.
