House interiors are also locked behind 2 loading screens and have no view to the outside. Someone needs to leave the interior of their house to see the ward, just as they need to leave their apartment to see the ward. Those aren't good comparison points to use.

The main problem when it comes to apartments is size. If SE would implement size options, as they had told us a few years ago were under consideration, the majority of those upset with the current system would be satisfied. There would still be that small percentage that wants access to gardening and crossbreeding seeds, or who want an outdoor area to decorate, but most just want the interior space. On the flip side, I know a few house owners that would gladly give up their current houses if they could get an apartment equivalent in size to their house interiors because they rarely garden and wouldn't need to worry about demolition. They only want the larger space to decorate and the only way they could get it was to buy a house.

What I wish SE would do is open up about what will be coming with Ishgard. If players had some solid information about what to expect, it could settle down the discussion and complaints considerably (not completely, there are always those who are going to find reasons to complain).
