Same problem, new request

[AnjouMaaka]

I'm aware of the patch cycles and what the dev priorities are. As I said, I'm not in a rush to get support for this. I'm sharing the suggestion. If the devs take notice of it and find it to be something worth adding to the game, awesome. If they don't, that's disappointing, but it's not the end of the world. I'm putting the suggestion forward because it's something that falls in line with the direction the devs have gone with some of the other quality of life features, such as the blacklist becoming the exile list, and the thing with removing from view players that are crowded around quest NPCs.

Nah, housing is first and foremost an opportunity for self-expression. I don't like casual modern clothing as glam, but it's extremely popular and I see it everywhere. I find it somewhat immersion-breaking, but I'm not going to ask others to change their favorite glam, nor am I going to ask Square to hide other people's clothing choices. The same applies to people's yards.

This is how you spoil people into a Karen
When someone promoting a change that impacts Public, the Public has right to looking into the motives
How many resources we need to waste on this type of snowflake request?
People cried about female Hrothgar and how many Female Heothgar you spot in game?
Time and effort wasted
Of course he is going to support your comment because you are the only one spoiling him

How does this suggestion impact the public beyond giving players an option to control what is visible to their own self? We don't know what effort would be required for the developers to implement the suggestion. Presumably not much since they just implemented the new systems that allows players to hide other players under certain situations but again we can't know for certain.

The OP can opt to turn off everything but it won't affect what you, I or anyone else would see. As I pointed out in my initial response, it could also be very helpful to players using older clients when it comes to loading into housing. A lot of players experience drastically increased load times when entering a ward due to the game needing to load the additional furnishing assets that vary from ward to ward.

Players also cried about male Viera and how many of those can you spot in game? None of us can truly predict how the player base will react to new things until after those things are added. Should SE stop adding new things to the game altogether?

I don't see any harm in it as a suggestion even if it's not a feature I expect to use myself (unless my loading times start getting worse than they already are). Someone else using it won't impact my game experience. Leave it up to SE on whether they feel it is worth implementing.

Housing system need improvement but there is limited time and resources from Dev's part.

The question becomes what part of SE's team would handle the creation of such a system and what other content projects are they committed to. This would be a purely technical implementation and that's not a side of game development that players tend to seek out information on. They're more interested in the design side.

I just explained why I think this is impacting Public because it requires a slice of Dev's time and resources.
FF14 is a theme park and each category can only get limited attention.
Do you think this is an issue seriously need to be address?
Housing feature pretty much only get tune up once per expansion cycle let me remind you. (Excluding new furniture, i am talking about Housing feature such as space, lottery system, etc)

FFXIV is a game, not a theme park.
It's an issue that would have multiple benefits for some if it was to be addressed. I have zero expectation on it being addressed
Housing got a lot more than a tune up last expansion, so it's very possible for the devs to put in more than one housing update.

That is up to the developers.

The developers that would work on adding the suggestion as a feature would most likely be the same ones that added the ability to hide players under certain circumstances. It's unlikely they have anything to do if a decision to add more wards is made other than install existing code once others set up the additional server hardware. It's hard to say how much work is involved with increasing item limits but that is already work in progress so wouldn't conflict with a new suggestion where the work won't be done until already scheduled/in progress projects are completed. Perhaps they had a hand in coding the lottery but that work is long since completed.

There is no harm in the suggestion being made. It's not like SE is going to do it if they feel what potential benefit there might be is outweighed by other concerns.

Once again I would like to point out that doing this is equivalent to asking to be able to hide other player's glam choices because you don't like them. Does that really sound like a reasonable choice here? I for one work hard on my decorations, and don't really like the idea that they could just be hidden on a whim. If and when an instanced ward option were implemented, then players like AnjouMaaka would not have to concern themselves with other people's decoration choices.

I can agree with this when I spent several hours decorating my yards only where most people would be done with them in a matter of minutes. I love others seeing how nice my garden is and how highly decorated my homes are, for those interested seeing my homes, they are in my signature.

Mao agrees. Mao nots liking stifle other peoples freedom to express themselves. Is something abouts that whats make Mao really upset. Is almost likes trying to erase person.

"Theme Park" is an MMO term. You either have a Themepark, or a Sandbox. These terms have existed since before 2.0.

This is an issue that would have one benefit for one person who doesn't want to admit that she's wrong if it was addressed.

Hiding glamours is a more valid idea. Now you can see the real class fantasy of this PF group's mismatched Tome and Savage gear instead of a furry convention with the other tank glammed like Ryne, and a BLM in a legacy PvP heavy armor set. (This is a joke, remove the glamour restrictions already)
