Petition for Instanced housing

[Stormpeaks]

No we do not.

Add more wards to fix the housing scarcity.

There are other games if you want instanced housing, or apartments in FFXIV.

Problem with this is new wards only can increase linearly while player counts increase exponentially. You will never keep up that way.
Also the liminal space that wards are aren't worth the headache of these horrific housing systems like placard clicking or lottery.

The problem is instanced housing would ruin their prestige. And maybe include blocklists that would keep them out of venues they don't own but perceive they have a right to enter (because its public, but insert "you keep using this word, I'm not sure you know what it means" meme).

Lmao we can't even get a normal blacklist to function properly, you expect them to make one specifically for housing? XD

Also we all know the housing system is the way it is to incentivize people to stay subbed and it works. Square hasn't made any attempts to fix it and people have been asking for years. Instanced housing is a pipedream in this game.

Prestige of what exactly?
Who cares about what limsa afkers think about something like this. Everyone having access to the system is objectively superior than artificial scarcity so people can pretend to have pretend internet cred.

If you need to feel superior to others, owning a house in the game is a pretty shit way to go about it.

Everyone having access to housing =/ everyone having a large fyi.

Also the way ffxiv housing works is literally a prestige system, you upgrade from small to large which are a very fought over scarce resource.

It ain't about people feeling superior, it's called reaching a goal, but in today's world, God forbid having to put effort into something, muh instant gratification, I want it and I want it now! And yes that even goes for housing, it's called putting effort into something.

As the owner of a medium, I give no shits about the prestige. I think considering it that way is a problem. I support instanced housing.

And that's exactly why we need instanced housing. People who only want a house because of prestige don't deserve a house at all. I have nearly 20 fully decorated housing instances in ESO, no one visits them, I decorate them for my own pleasure. This is what housing should be, not a trophy some lucky randoms win in a silly lottery.

EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING!!! There is just a problem with people who feel like "elitists" because they have something that others cannot have...Just give all of us a house and everyone will be happy. And subs will roll in like never before.

The fact you assume that people will subscribe to this game because of instanced housing is pretty comical, while also being very delusional.

Exactly why this game aint ESO. This is FFXIV.

If you want to play ESO and have your instanced housing, you can go and play it, this game wont have instanced housing as is very obvious by the devs decision, time to move on and try and fix the ward system, or as I said earlier, yall can keep yelling at the void.
