Worst housing system in history

[Themarvin]

Once again, you are invoking the MMO equivalent of Godwin's Law instead of acknowledging a flawed system and demanding better from a game who advertises a feature the vast majority of players can't interact with. In fact, take the housing limitations and apply them to any other piece of content. Imagine if Savage was the only way to achieve max ilvl for each respective even patch cycle. After all, you don't need ilvl 600 right now to do any content besides Savage itself or Ultimate. People want it. Just like they want a house. If I wanted to play the Sims, I would. I prefer FFXIV but am not going to white knight an objectively terrible system.

For reference sake, I already own a house. None of these issue apply to me. It doesn't change how poorly designed housing is in FFXIV.



Earlier you said FFXIV's neighborhood system was "pretty good" yet now you're acknowledging the wards are essentially ghost towns. The problem with adding "actual things to do" is they're entirely restricted to only a small portion of the playerbase as those without a house can't interact with them. Put simply, you've just shown yet another reason the neighborhood, in its current state, is flawed. It cannot be expanded upon feature wise without alienating even more players, thus the wards remain dead, defeating entire point of having a neighborhood to begin with.

Not really, there is MMOs out there that has supreme housing, however very old, but still very good.
