    Do you just hate casual players who want a house to decorate? Like, this won't affect the multi home owners. They've had these houses for years now, and use them to make way more than 1 million gil a month. It won't bother them whatsoever. But casual players who have one house and only use it to decorate and RP in, that 1 million a month would be cumbersome.

    One thing that puzzles me about not being able to cross-breed plants in apartments (and possibly by extention an instanced house), is Yoshi's point about the weather. I haven't noticed any way that the weather affects the plants. It can rain all day in LB and I still have to tend the crop or it dies. So, I don't understand the relevance.

    Regardless of whether the weather is an issue, I do feel strongly that something needs to be done to increase the supply of houses (and really, arguing about semantics is a bit unkind when many people here are not native English speakers and it's pretty clear what they mean).

    I'm already seeing a lot of houses owned by 4 person FCs that haven't been decorated and don't appear to be used (including larges). But as Jojoya has pointed out, a lot of the systems available to house owners are very labour intensive and maybe not as much fun or as lucrative as people expect.

    Personally, I'm bemused by the decision to give every player their own private instanced island and yet a feature that people have been asking for more access to since HW gets little more than band-aids. Instanced houses would seem to be the most logical solution, there are already unused exits in the older wards, so those could be used as access points.

    I know weather affects the animations when you're tending a garden patch. If it's raining, you bend over to tend the plant. If the weather is anything else, you water it.

    What the direct relationship to crossbreeding is, I have no clue. It could be it doesn't directly affect crossbreeding but since crossbreeding requires the use of a garden patch that is dependent on weather to function properly, it's indirectly dependent on weather.

    Personally I think it's a problem they could solve but unless they do, we're stuck with it as is.

    About the weather problem, I think that it is more about stalling than a true technical problem. It is typically a thing that a studio can say because they do no want or cant allocate resources on a specific task
    It can be for many reason: leadership direction, resources availability, knowledge lost with turnover, etc.

    It is a polite and respectful way for a classic stonewall

    And again it is easily understandable when we know the amount of work to create, fix and update a game of this scope

    EDIT: the thing to do is to keep being loud on the forum (but respectful) and hope that housing will be on the top of their priority list
