Poor Housing System

I wish they did something similar to the Georama from White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2.

In my opinion, the single best example of instanced personal housing/land in a game I have ever known. It also had an ingame forum community which I thought was quite nifty.

You'd buy a license with ingame currency and start with a small square, you would pay more to grow this land, you could add houses/furniture that gave your home "stats", you could house npc's, some of which were shops, there were farmable nodes which were dependent on the stats of your home.

Everyone had one, every guild had one, due to the gathering nodes which respawn after every dungeon it was sociable. An instance could only have 16 people in it (I'd probably suggest 24 for ff14) so there was a good spread of social activity and not restricted to the dedicated or rich few and everyone had something different.

It's a shame that these were pretty much the only good features of the game

Yeah because of greedy people we're now stuck with these random, invisible timers that only hurt people with no house while benefitting the people who already have one.

Last night I sat at a Shirogane plot for hours attempting to buy. Someone came by and transferred and all I got in the end was hours wasted.
