Use it to give us personal instanced housing.

I would love for them to allow us to build our own little spaces. Have us come in and invite others in to help us, build our own little areas. You could have the same concept of turning in supplies and have small "quests that mimic the rebuild fate, and maybe even incorporate our retainers into the mix for once.

They could put the instances in little field zones instead of the residential zones, we have tons of spots that are blocked off for potential zone lines in the ARR zones especially, so there are plenty of entrances available. And there are all kinds of little unused, but look like there should be something there, areas in the HW-SB-ShB zones, so put them to use. Yes that means houses in the field, but think of it handled like ESO handles it.

The area could grow, so after you say, get done with phase 1 you have a small house with a small area around it, then you could upgrade it to a medium and finally a large in other phases if you choose to keep growing it. They could even add "extras" like the ability to til a garden space instead of using those ugly plots we have with those ugly little scarecrows, maybe a waterfall or a little pond area. Something fun.

Yes, it would require you to craft and/or gather. But it would otherwise be free. And I can already hear the "BuT I dOn'T wAnT tO CrAfT" I know, I know Twelve forbid that someone needs to put effort into something, esp if they don't really like it, but...well...its a free house, you can always have the residential zone ones. Also since its no-gil-involved, it wouldn't be a new RMT opportunity.

Anyway, I think this would be a fun little thing for people to be able to do. It just needs to be doable solo, not like those awful FC crafting recipes. Thoughts?
