Wjen everything find its wau to instanced house the city get empty and MMOs start to feel like solo game with an interface to get a random group together.

And they said at the London event Turelus posted an update from this is why they don't want this stuff in homes.

You could put the boards in the houses. It wouldn’t make a difference to the city populations. You still need to go into town to turn them in. Most people would just do them in towns to avoid porting.

I don’t honestly think you’d see a huge difference in population. Not everyone would buy them and like I said above if you got only the boards, you’d need to go into town anyway to turn them in.

But even if you could turn them in at houses, there are plenty of daily quests in towns that people go to, and guild stores, master wrists, and as you said rededication signs, pledges, trials, people looking for groups etc. Events also drag people into them. Lots of people just randomly hang out there too.

Writs take like what, 2 minutes in Summerset? I’m still finding myself in main towns all the time for a lot longer than that. I understand where you’re coming from though and that’s probably their thinking too.

Not really true, as for many the only things the only thing they go to towns for once leveled is guild bank/store and writs (which you can get to from any town with a bank)

I'm fully leveled and Mainly PvP i also avoid main towns like the plague. About the only must is the rededication shrine, and pledges if you bother with them so i think they are right, its an MMO after all, numbers would reduce.

A lot of players I know don't craft or, if they do, they craft for their gear, not for writs. Whereas the dedicated crafters will still be visiting town regularly, because crafting and guild traders go hand-in-hand.

All my thief characters visit towns to pickpocket and fence every day. I also do dailies in the towns to farm motifs and sell them. These activities are popular with crafters because you collect and trade furnishing plans and motifs this way, and they require crafters to travel into towns. I also visit the Master Crafting Writ Vendor often.

In other words, I'd still be in the towns a lot if I had this feature, and I think other crafters would, too. I doubt that my 20-minute absence to complete my writs would decimate the population. It seems like fear-mongering to me.

I don't see a problem with it.

Don't really think it will impact town populations either. I have 14 characters, 13 of which never leave Alinor's crafting area anymore, they do their writs deposit the goodies into my bankers assistants inventory, for my main to sort through later.

All that will happen is all those alts will end up in my house instead of in Alinor for 5 minutes each day, especially if we get the turn in points as well as the notice boards.

My main will still go to town, visit stores, get quests, go to shrines, post listings at the bank for guild store etc..

All you will miss out on is the parade of my alts going back and forth on their circuit from the writ notice boards, to the crafting stations and then the turn in point, for an hour or so a day.



That said I would buy the crowns with gold not paying real money for something that is readily available in the game. Would much rather a higher max character limit, to increase the size of my fictional fortune.

Just hope they don't go overboard like SWTOR there subscriber max character cap has gone up to 100 per server.

Alinor is fairly efficient for doing crafting dailies. Much harder in other locations in my experience.

It would be almost perfect if Curtaros would stop his horrible song though....

Yeah...it's unfortunate that housing is just about decorating and not actually using your houses. I created some nice crafting areas in my first couple of homes, but they go unused. We can buy crafting stations from the MW vendor, but they're really of no use, unless they are the set stations (and those add up).

I tried picking up writs and doing them in my homes, but the load times are prohibitive. I've even stopped porting my characters back to their houses when I was done with them, as porting back out to pick up and do writs was still eating up too much time.

If they would make it so that pets are auto-despawned in towns, that would help tremendously, as I hate navigating all the flappers and bears to get at crafting stations and writ turn-ins.

Plus, as others have said, there are so many reasons to go to towns. And, this would be a convenience for my ALTS, who I'm only logging in with to do their writs, anyway. My main is in town all the time for trading and other questing.

Plus, if it were a CS-only item, not everyone would buy it. Not everyone has the banker or merchant, as they don't see a reason to pay real money for something they can easily do in game. This would be similar.

If they aren't going to offer this, then it'll mean that I stop designing crafting areas in future homes, will probably not worry about decorating any homes outside of the ones I've already purchased, and just not use them once decorated. There's no reason to go to your homes outside of storing items. There are mundus stones and set stations, of course, but there's no need to have those if you have a guild hall with those items. For PvPers, you can set up a dueling arena, I guess.

So, houses are just for decorating and storing stuff. Got it.

Doing Writs in the own house would be great.

I would also like to see some day the possibility to plant and harvest the alchemy plants etc. in my home.

yes pls
