WoW's player housing will have no FOMO and private housing wards

[Arohk]

"What is my problem", I dont have a problem, I simply asked a question, I personally dont have any problem, I am confused as to what you're on about ? What am I envious of ?

you said taking away the houses from multi owners wont solve the issue, but what is the issue?
In my opinion freeing up all the slots that are blocked by these people would make at least some people happy.

Once again, that is not the question I asked.

I suspect (not wanting to speak on your behalf incorrectly, Clockworks - so apologies if I'm wrong here) her point is that after the multi-owner problem gets "fixed," there'll just be "the next problem."

So, for example - everyone who owns more than one house suddenly loses them. What hard-line "take things away from the players who already have them" suggestion comes next?

My suspicion would be "Why do individuals get Large and Medium houses? We should strip them from individuals who bought them, because they clearly should be in the hands of Free Companies!"

So the question becomes - is that also okay? At what point does the line for "it's okay to remove someone's efforts, time, and money" get drawn?

I don't care if you bought your 30 housing plots legitimately when that was still possible, it was clearly a gross design oversight and nobody "needs" to have an entire ward to themselves, that's just ridiculous.

It is still possible. The conditions to buy a house are literally outlined in the official square enix housing guide and you can follow it to the letter to become a multiowner.

private housing wards

A private plot where you have no neighbors, yes.

I honestly wonder how many people will lose interest in housing if they implemented instanced housing and got rid of wards.

People who enjoy decorating and spending time in their houses will most likely continue doing so. While those who have a plot for the sake of having it (A status symbol) might not even bother with it.

Either way, personal housing shouldn't be limited. However, owning multiple FCs shouldn't be possible due to Gil farm that is possible with it.

Thank you that was exactly it. I'm not sure why that person was so hostile but hey some people just are like that lol

I came from WoW, and, aside from limited ways to get decent gear, the worst thing is the number of annoying sounds. My favorite mount has a wingflap noise that I can't stand so I used to keep it disabled.
You could find the ingame sound files and change them, or just replace with blank ones to silence specific things. There were addons that would mute thousands of these sounds.

Then, they changed the sound structure, where you have to go through an extremely complicated addon process that I haven't been able to make it work when I go back to try the game to try it in PTR, and then I quit trying and come back to FFXIV. I may try again once the housing thing comes online. (If I can mute the sounds.)

Randomly empty out your guild bank, lose currency and items, reset reputations, but at least you won't lose your house. (until you do)

No housing system can make me play WOW and their ugly-ass characters.
I'd rather be a homeless hobo in Limsa

heh, that reminds me of so many things in the past.
Annoying sound effects that drove me mad.

One time when they changed the warrior berserk stance icon from a red skull to this ugly dwarf face and also added this foaming orc roar sound every time you used it drove me mad on my Night elf.
Or at the beginning when they introduced worgen the idle animation always had a very loud and annoying sniffing sound(like your character is sniffing the scents, like a dog).no idea if that is removed by now

Anyway, i can't imagine that housing in WoW will eb anywhere near a good as in FFXIV when it comes to decoration.

here are a few examples of recent designs by the housing communits:
