What made SE implement housing in this way? I'll never understand. Its terrible.
And now I'm really worried about the /busy thing. I didn't set up a macro for it and I know that the time I take to type is out is time that I won't be able to run to the plot I want.
My going theory is cost. We know FFXIV has essentially funded both FFXV and FFVII: Remake in one manner or another. Therefore, the dev team for FFXIV would only have a very limited budget and implementing instanced housing would require a massive infrastructure and resources better allocated to new raids, dungeons or other such content.
That being said, the original intent had been to build a community-- a flawed designed from the get go. You can't have a hub consist of only thirty people. If they wanted that, then they should have split FC and Personal housing and made less wards but increase the lot space of each to accommodate. Imagine we were getting only a single ward, however it had all 240 plots. Doing so might have fostered the whole community feel. Otherwise, why not just hang around Ul'Dah or Idyllshire?
