Edit: Forum ate up who I replied to.

Would have assumed this was already possible. Strange that it isn't!

How about instanced housing that doesn't get destroyed just because you unsubbed?

So...apartments?

It's instanced housing that doesn't get demolished for not having a sub. It meets both criteria with your asking for.

IF APARTMENTS ARE SO GOD DAMN GOOD SELL YOUR PLOTS AND ONLY LIVE OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT, OR STOP SUGGESTING THEM AS VIABLE.

Add more floors to apartments.

Or just wait until even WoW gets better housing lol

Preach it!

That said, I would really love to see them expand dramatically on apartments. Give us upgrades like the Tardis housing they're proposing so we can have up to a large apartment. Or some near equivalent. I would personally go absolutely crazy over an apartment I could eventually upgrade to a penthouse style suite with multiple floors, rooms, and an 'outdoor' area where I could have a pool or put some furnishings down or something.

If they're not going to give us a housing plot on our islands... at least give us this.

An option to Mirror a housing item would be really cool, I think, even if it was limited to housing items without text.

Though I would much prefer mirrored textures to be made for mirrored housing items' texts as well, allowing all housing items to be mirrored...

This, like why was this not a thing from day one. What pea brained person overlooked such a basic and obvious thing, there are sooooo many items that would look amazing with certain designs and layouts but because you can't mirror it, it's useless and takes away from the aesthetics.

Even if I did you guys would rather give them up to housing bots rather than take a small. And then complain that bots are buying up anything players don't want.

It is nice we usually get more flowers for flowerpots and vases (and ornamental accessories crafted by Alchemist) every major patch, but I would like to see more related things like ...

Additional regionally-styled flowerpots and vases aside from Gridania's Glade, Ul'dah's Oasis, and Limsa's Riviera like... Ishgard's Highland, Kugane's Hingan, Old Sharlayan, Thavnairian, etc.
The ability to disable the sparkling effect on bloomed flowerpots for better visibility and appearance.
Flower prints for all available graded picture frames. The flower print art briefly appears when the player harvests flowerpots, but sadly does not appear anywhere else outside of that. I would absolutely love to see them as picture frame prints as a new option to decorate walls with aside from only sightseeing log paintings.

Adding onto this, an item to allow us to freeze/preserve a flower or garden crop's state (maybe taking it out before it is done growing using a special item like shears or such?) would be great. I feel like it'd be relatively easy to add since the models for each growing stage already exist, and we'd be getting 4 "variants" of each plant!
