housing conundrum: there needs to be a better way.

[Tint]

Being in the middle of absolutely nowhere on your island with a house is not going to be a fun feeling, people will have to go through multiple hoops to even reach that place, if they even care enough to, which most wont, they'd rather chill in Limsa or at their own
In the case that somehow instanced housing makes it to old areas (mist etc), you'll basically have a house in the middle of... absolutely nothing, sure there's the beach, and you'll have your lone house there, and then what ? That's really what you want ? Something completely dead and barren just for the sake of having a house ? Can you imagine a mist ward, but with one house in the middle of it ? Or even if there's "fake" houses, it's just dead, boring, and lonely, there is nothing good about this.

A lot of players are already lonely enough in this game as it is, they dont need instanced housing to make them even more lonely than they already are, there is literally no positives to it, absolutely none.

That I want to be alone is the sole reason I own a house. It's my personal little hub where I can craft, hang out while I wait for content to pop and whatever.

If I would want to be around people I would stay in the main cities.

Then you can use an apartment, no difference. You can craft, hang out and wait for content in an apartment just as much ? What's the difference ?

I 100% agree.

I bought the house to live there with a good friend - which didn't worked out in the end.

So no, I don't need the house. I was super happy with my apartment. But I was the first person on the server when new wards were added and by sheer luck I got an M house in a very nice spot. So no, I will not give it up. It's nice and cozy and I love it.

But aparments are small and you can't do too much with them. So I do understand that people want to own a house simply because it is bigger. And instanced housing would be a solution for that. Plus the garden space of course which the apartments don't offer.

You could be alone in your apartment so that can't be the reason you got a house that's subject to auto-demolition and costs more.
