Do you want instanced housing?

[Shougun]

^ This poster is an Optimist. "What we want" varies player by player. Come up with a static list of "what we want" and start advocating for that, rather than handwaving and mumbling "yada yada instanced housing yada yada". There is already "instanced housing", it just isn't what players who use that term mean when they say it.

Most of the longer folks here have done just that.

Also as language is descriptive system and not a prescriptive system, whatever meaning instanced housing might have ascribed the most exceptionally common throughput is that the system meets the demands the user presses upon it (the whole purpose of having an instanced system, with lag reduction). Which clearly FFXIV doesn't do even with apartments, I would therefore argue under the community usage of the word it's not really (may say it's borked, but the obvious answer then is to unbork it not say mission accomplished).

"We have an instanced system".. Player: "does it work?"
"Not really..." Player: "Well I want instanced housing then".

Obtuse forum member: "We have the system! You just don't like it!" (Not saying you said this, since at least you recognize what we have is NOT what players want- but I've seen this before).
