Do you want instanced housing?

[Raoabolic]

I don't mind if it means I can have a 2nd house

Oh, I didn't realize Lost Ark had housing. :^)

A whole host of improvements should have already been made.

Apartment should have already been given the option for larger versions & styles to accommodate player left out of housing proper. (Loft, town house, balcony inclusion, studio, ect..)

Smaller homes should have had extras placed in them to make them more popular due to not only the scarcity of Mansions & medium plots but also to make them stand out a little more. (Attics, basement expansions, more floors, ect...)

Personally no I would rather not have instanced housing. But if that is the only way to get everyone a house who wants one then I say they should have instanced.

100% Yes!

Housing is a big part of this game and so many of us are locked out of it right now and I don't see that changing without adding instanced housing. Having an apartment is nice, but it's not the same thing at all.

For the people concerned that it would be like the WoW garrisons where everyone just sat in their own instance, I don't see that happening since FFXIV is inherently more social to begin with in many ways. Besides, if that were a problem then personal apartments would have caused it here anyway and they clearly haven't.

I think a core issue that Garrisons created is even a solve-able one though. Just don't make a war table require you to baby sit it so much... Heck, if they wanted that exact system but not the problem- just make a UI you can open from anywhere lol.

On top of that you can enhance other elements with further social designs, like now we have houses for everyone- perhaps the seasonal events should be held in wards? Make city inn spaces grant sanctuary bonuses faster (or perhaps a buff even), so logging out in your house is not bad, but if you were going stand about and chill.. Try the miner's guild for fine entertainment . (I would love SE take take roleplay gameplay more seriously in general as an aside note, a simple and cheesy game example would be earning a buff around a campfire in WoW).

[Neoyoshi]

No, but I wouldn't mind seeing Demolition turned back on, at some point; eventually.

[Seger]

Yes, of course.

Gate keeping an entire feature of the game behind availability is just dumb.

If I want to be able to decorate internally and externally a house I should be able to.

[Jojoya]

Short answer is Yes.

Long answer is Yes, but that doesn't mean I think ward houses need to be removed. It's possible for both to exist and give players options since not everyone wants the same thing.

But at the very least an instanced system that includes houses would give players the room they want to express themselves. If SE would go even father to include the features that some of the other games mentioned have, even better.

Nah, the bean counters like it this way because it keeps people subbed to pay the RMT mortgage on their house and also keeping people subbed to be able to shop the sellers market like it is in the real world.
