Housing... Would you be upset if?...

[Culfinrandir]

I have several major problems with it.

1. As far as I can tell, you can't actually modify what the external house looks like - just size/decorations/lawn ornaments
2. Inside of houses are separate instances, so people spend much less time inside the house than outside
3. They are rare, so only a very small portion of the community has them
4. They cost a fortune

Personally, I liked Wildstar's system, but I feel it could be improved upon too.

As for 1, you can modify the house, quite extensively, but a lot of it is tied to using a FC Workshop which private housing doesn't have. In the future I can see them making it more widely available if it proves popular.

It is possible, I've yet to see a house that differs from any other among the various Goblet FC houses I've lived in or their neighbours. It could be that we are considering two things. I am specifically talking about the structure/design of the building. However, I am unsure what is possible with the workshop.

That being said, I'd be pretty irked just cuz I've put a LOT of money and time into both my private house, and FC cottage and gil refund or not, that's not a replacable investment that I've made, me and my friends have had a LOT of good times at my private house in Lavender Beds. This system is FAR from perfect, but if they remake the personal housing, I think those of us that have a house currently should have a choice between full refund or being allowed to keep our houses that we've worked for.

I think personal housing was a mistake in general. How many people actively use their personal homes anyway? Aside from gardening. Your friends come over, see it, lie about liking it, and never come over for a visit again unless asked or are RPing.

They're gil sinks that take homes away from new raising FCs, and ultimately nobody cares that you have a private plot.

I use mine daily, my friends all hang out there constantly, even when I'm not there. Especially now that I can give (some) of them access to using the facilities.
