Stuff like THIS is the reason Housing is a Joke -- SE please do something about this!

FFXIV's housing is the way that it is because of Yoshi P's original vision for housing. He wanted actual living neighborhoods, where you could stroll around and see other folks' houses - something you simply can't do with instanced housing, no matter how you slice it. To see someone's house, you have to first enter their instance.

WoW's doing it. LOTRO already does it. Why are we still pretending like it's not possible?

It is possible, and it's also super boring and soulless, so no thank you, I'd rather the game sticks to ward housing and either adds a lot more wards, or adds dynamic ward housing adding wards based on demand, that way everyone gets at least a small house, there's enough games with instanced housing, feel free to play one of those.

What do you MEAN?

LOTRO has housing wards that spin up as needed.

WoW is planning neighborhoods that can be private or public and spin up as needed. XIV players stay making excuses for a system that is bad on purpose.

Instanced is a garbage system .it did not look great in eso .it will not look good in wow either . Xiv has one of the best housing system

No, WildStar had the best housing system, but for some reason no other MMO wants to steal it wholesale despite it being one of the few things it did better than everyone else.

As a wise man once said, "that's like... your opinion". I highly disagree.

You realized wards are instances right? lol your comment makes no sense, you're saying instance is a garbage system while literally playing a game trying to defend literally instance housing wards your house is an instance within an instance they are literally double instanced.

I swear some of y'all have the literacy skills of an elementary schooler.

LOTRO has neighborhoods. When those neighborhoods fill up a new neighborhood is generated.

WoW will work the same way.

Neither of these games is ESO which is instanced housing where the house instanced and there for the location is shared. That's a different system. Do you understand? Like can you read?

XIV's is objectively one of the worst in terms of accessibility and is already being beaten at it's own game by LOTRO- with WoW directly taking aim at bascially everything that sucks at FFXIV's housing. Now, WoW's isn't out yet- so we'll see what monkey paw curl blizzard manages but their current planned housing is much better already.
