I think for some it's just a matter of having it and really nothing else. I logged into the game for the free weekend, and I haven't been playing for a few months. I was eager to see what cool stuff people had done with Ishgard housing since it's been out for 2 months now. Going through several wards on a few different servers yielded pretty much the same thing. Lots and lots of empty houses and a few that were furnished but really poorly. I think I saw one medium house that was pretty good.

I would have thought though, with all the hype and demand for Ishgard housing, and the years people had to prepare, that the end result would have been a lot better. Wards are a massive waste of resources and houses should have always just been instanced.
