I am quite frustrated with how housing works in this game.
(I list some solutions at the bottom if you want to skip my rant #5 i think would be best and easiest for FFXIV to implement)

All players can have the following if they have the right rank unlocked.
- Apartment (1mil gil)
- Private Chambers at a medium or large FC house (300k gil)

But all players have to have some measure of luck to acquire a house. Personally I wouldn't really care if there was not content locked behind the ability to have a house.

I can't crossbreed garden in an apartment or private chambers.

So this part of the game is locked away from me because I don't have a house. I cant just go get one. I cant run dungeons or earn it any other way its random. I pay the same amount as other people and I cant have content that I want to have. This is nonsense and needs to be addressed immediately. It is stuff like this that makes me want to unsub.

Possible Solutions

1.) Make more wards like a lot more. Enough wards to have empty houses all the time so that anyone who can afford one can buy one. I am not sure what type of server technical issues may be related with this but if someone can explain in I would love to hear why this isn't possible.

2.) Remove outdoor furnishing restrictions for players who don't have a house. This way people who only have apartments can have fun with the other housing items including gardening. Hell, throw in a new item "grow light" to make it seem legit if you want.

3.) Remove cross breeding restrictions and revamp entire gardening system so people without houses are not at a disadvantage. Highly unlikely but possible.

4.) Make things like Thavnarian onions/ seeds available through tombstone exchange or some other way that doesn't give an advantage to those that can cross breed and sell them. In addition anything through crossbreeding is now market prohibited.

5.) In the last live letter with the island sanctuaries it described all the activities would be exclusive to the island. Therefore, it would stand to reason that no "regular" gardening items are able to be grown there. CHANGE THAT. This is the perfect opportunity to ADD an area with plots for crossbreed at the island sanctuary. A few plots like a house in a housing district. If you really want to make it fair then limit the bed at the sanctuary based on if the player has a personal house or not.

***BONUS SOLUTION*** THAT I REALLY HOPE YOU NEVER EVER DO!!! (THIS IS A JOKE)

Sell housing plots on the mogstation because you know those whales have money to burn and it will push all non whales away from housing.
