Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

Can we change the Workshop yet?

I'm really quite tired of how much of a waste of peoples time it is... There is no reason for the Light Party requirement, you're just wasting my time, as I have to wait on other people to progress synthesis, and I'm wasting other peoples time, because they literally are only required to stand there and do nothing while I progress the recipe...

I get the idea behind the requirement, I really do, but if this was the best you could come up with to create a sense of working together... Don't even bother... Final Fantasy XI had Synergy, and I hated that, but even that is a better implementation of this concept... Other people didn't just stand their and do nothing, they operated different parts of the furnace to work on the recipe, and hell... That was optional, you could solo Synergy recipes, grouping up just improved your odds of success, sped things up, and gave you a better chance making high quality goods... OK we can't HQ anything in the Workshop, but you can increase the odds of needing less materials on the next section instead... That would make having other people for these recipes meaningful... The extra people would actually be contributing something to the process... That creates a sense of working together to build something, because you're actually working together to build something...

Really though, at the very least... Can we remove the Light Party requirement on making wheels? Those are incredibly simple recipes, and pretty much a daily thing, and I just resent the idea of having to waste peoples time so frequently with that... Free Company Workshop and Diadem have been such a disappointment... I'd really have preferred putting more recipes in the Workshop, and giving each member their own projects, so people can work on their own thing there and other members can just go into and contribute towards them if they feel like it... This "Force three people to sit and do nothing" system really killed what was, for me, one of the most anticipated Housing features of 3.0...

^^^^ this so many times. My FC is small to start with and most of my FC is on break atm the moment waiting until the patch or (several) for RL reasons. The number of people gone at the moment is unusually high, but we haven't had enough people on at one time to progress the workshop craft for a month.

I'd like to suggest to make the wall partitions dyables. Only wood can't match all the wall paintings in the game >.<
Also it would be good to have an option in the worshop where you can start a personal project aside from the FC ones. Sometimes I want to build something for my house, like a moogle house, and can't do it if it's not like an FC project. Also can you put more recipes into the workshop? I feel like it's there only for doing ships and as soon as you have them is just.... dead D:

I would like to see some furniture, specific to specialists of each craft, untradeable for decoration for their own property.

For example, I have an office in my house, I made the upstairs a forge. I'm a BSM/ARM specialist, so I would like to be able to make some difficult to craft (not necessarily materials cost, but a high actual craft difficulty that requires a bit of skill), something like a suit of Armour, or a pair of display weapons, and show them off in my office.

I want to be able to show off my skill as a crafter and have something in my house to display for it.

If not the above, an Armour/Weapon Stand that we can display things we've made on would be great, even better if they can be interacted with for sales like a retainer on a property.

I'm already not keen on the specialist stuff, but the current system allows such items to be traded via other means so making it untradable would be pointless.

Can I get a tension lamp for housing that reproduce Odin's weather effect?

Can we please have free choice of the house interior to be Glade/Riviera/Oasis on preference?

It would be better if we could use all appearances in any house without restriction. (Roof, exterior wall, windows and doors)

Please make it where 1 person has one house per account there are players with multiple characters who only make money by flipping houses.
