You know, I personally couldn't care less about rather or not I actually get any player housing of my own. I've got a private room with my FC, that lets me decorate a little bit and have some fun, and that's the extent of what I care about. However, there seems to be a TUN of people around here that are genuinely, legitimately, RIGHTFULLY upset about the way that SE has handled their housing market. With all of this bickering going on, I just wanted to ask something.

FFXI, a game that came out over a decade ago and was supported on the Playstation 2, had this system:

"The Mog House is a one-room apartment that has been set aside in the residential areas of each nation for the sole use of adventurers. Becoming an adventurer immediately entitles you to a Mog House, and you are free to furnish the rooms as you please. Furniture usually adds extra storage space to your Mog House and fills your Mog House with an elemental aura, resulting in special Traits called Moghancements. All rental fees are subsidized by the four nations as a part of the conquest policy taken up after the Crystal War. All Mog Houses come equipped with a Mog Safe."

So why do we, in 2015, not have a system like this? People just want a place that they can call their own, a place that they can fine tune and decorate, show off to their friends. A little slice of the world that's *theirs*. Why can't FF14 do something like this? And if this turns out to be what the apartments to be added in 3.3 are, why did it take so long to add something so basic?

This really shouldn't be a problem. This is a can of worms that should never have been opened. It's just sad to me, seeing a group of devs so fully fail to make a section of their playerbase happy with something that should be so simple.
