I'm looking forward to the shadow bringers expansion and its upcoming patches, because whatever lapses SE might have incurred or overlooked in terms of housing, they might change or just improve upon (in the event that they don't change the lapses) in this coming expansion.

Also, with what SE had minutely stated in the past live letters about ishgardian housing, that it will be enabled after ishgard has been reconstructed through doman enclave-like contributions. I'm hoping that this will be a form of instanced housing with its entrance enabled once a player/s achieves full reconstruction of the proposed area.
