I very much agree with needing instanced housing. I like the public ward system that is currently in place, but due to the nature of housing wards, there is always going to be a shortage on some servers. And on Balmung, when I started playing, there were no apartments open either. Until I can win a lottery, I would like to have a personal house in an instance that I do not have to compete with other players for. I put this in a different forum post already, but I would like to see a lighthouse or other structure that we can enter and customize on our island sanctuaries when those come out in 6.2. Island sanctuaries will already be instanced and noncompetitive, so I think putting housing on them would solve all housing related issues at once.
