We need a statement from the developers

[Sandpark]

A community that 80% (more, actually) of the active player base won't be a part of. Some "community."

So tell me where I can garden in my apartment? Where can I put my outdoor furnishing? Where can an FC put their company workshop? You get a single room with 100-item limit--that is not "housing." That is a glorified FC room (and FC rooms are actually cheaper, plus you get all the benefits of the house itself, including gardening). But wait. Less than 20% of the active playerbase will have a house, and the majority of the time it will be FC versus Personal.

Apartments are not a solution, so stop saying that they are.

Well if you are going to be that way, then why are raid communities in the game?

80% of the playerbase doesn't do raids. Should SE stop developing raids?

Instanced apartments should be instanced houses with yards, gardening, outdoor furnishings, chocobo stables, larger item limits.

Dyes shouldn't be NPC or AH based, they should be a palette book you can upgrade via achievement or completing something. Glamours should be book without the requires specific X to glamour specific Y. Maybe require global generic prism.

It sounds like I don't understand the anger, but I sort of do. I couldn't get a SB house. SE will end up changing housing, I am just wondering if anything feature wise would have to be gutted in order to achieve everyone getting a house. Why can't a better instanced solution exist beside the current system is my question.
