I've thought about this kind of idea a few times and really like it as it offers the best of both worlds. I'm guessing it's outside of the scope of what SE is willing to do with housing considering how little they seem to want to throw at the current problem, but it would be amazing if they offered something like this. I'm still holding out hope for something instanced and unlimited with the hinted-at Ishgard housing, but I'm kind of doubting we'll get it at this point. It'd be nice if SE made some indication that they were aware that housing has major issues and were looking into the problem, but their silence seems to indicate that it's not high on their priority list.
