You know, this game doesn't primarily focus only on housing :/ they are working on new classes, new dungeons and new stories every patch so they are trying to put everything. It's just that they just didn't see housing to be such an issue as they expected because they voted for new job/class demands than personal housing. They can only go so far for what they can do for players. Also mostly the housing is nice but it's purpose is for role playing purpose aside from crafting, gardening, and storaging. But balmung and Gilgamesh are the only servers that role play than other server so to the devs, they probably don't want to only look at two servers over all other servers when they asked for something else at that time. If you look at the Q&A for all live letter, there were like barely any people asking about personal housing and most of the people who asked those questions were really from balmung or Gilgamesh. Most of them asked about new jobs and new dungeons and new coil.
It is a misconception that only mostly roleplayers are interested in housing. If only roleplayers liked housing in MMOs, it would never be implemented in modern, mainstream MMOs. Players have been asking for this feature in modern MMOs for the past decade and most of them have been foregoing that option. Now developers are finally listening to what fans want and so many MMOs these days seem to be getting housing or a housing equivalent.Â
They pick and choose what questions to address in the Q&A so it's very possible that they didn't want to address something that fans have been so distressed about at an event that should help generate hype.
