I'm actually a huge fan of WoW's model and play it regularly. Blizzard are open and honest about their intentions for the game and they make it crystal clear as to what aspects of the game are designed for the 'hardcore' and will be 'exclusive'. They also regularly keep players up to date with exactly what to expect with each new patch, sometimes months in advance.
FFXIV, unfortunately, only does that to an extent - and after receiving very little information in regards to player housing a significant number of players saw fit to take the early statements at face value.
Either way a single weekly quest does not compare to something as massively anticipated as player housing which can be customised extensively and encourages player investment.
