I don't know about that take. It's widely agreed upon that housing is not in a good place.

I think it's disingenuous to frame it as 'whining' when competitors to the game manage to offer the ability to spend months or even years away and still have a house waiting for you upon your return.

Furthermore, it ignores the simple fact that player housing is a big draw for many of us and if we're lucky enough to obtain one there's no guarantee we'd be able to snag another after losing it. I'm lucky enough to own a mansion, though if I were to lose it for whatever reason I wouldn't look twice at the game again. Much like how a raider wouldn't bother investing in the game if they lost access to raid content just because they took a break.

*looks at your username*

uhh... Okay, Gaius. Take a step back.

You started calling me out on a post where I linked SKIROS telling me to unsub.

You went on a massive tirade against me on some random bullshit post somewhere else... when the conversation had nothing to do with you.

If you want to know why I'm so confused, it isn't because you responded me word for word. It's because my post here in this thread, the one that started this and prompted you to go like an ape at me, HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

You yourself just saw me and got triggered. But I was talking about Skiros. This is Skiros's thread saying that telling people to unsub is a bad thing, yet he told me to do it himself. That's it, that's the joke. I wasn't even upset: I was making fun of it.

I swear, I thought YOU were Skiros. Which begs the question...

...why are we even having this discussion?

I linked this post right here and my answer to it. To answer Skiros's whole thread.

...LITERALLY WHO EVEN ARE YOU???? You came out of nowhere and began harassing me out of nothing? xD Dude... the hell's your problem with me? Did I steal your sweetroll?


Edit: Wait, so all you did was dissect what I wrote days ago?

It had NOTHING to do with the topic, why are you targetting me? Because you didn't like what I wrote? Are you dense??? You don't have to like it or agree with it, it was 100% uncalled for in this entire thread

Do you go outside? Touch grass? Live a little? Because this is pathetic.

You went on a tirade over nothing... kept on harassing me on TWO THREADS... when it wasn't even called for in this whole thread. Because you couldn't agree with one person.

...Christ.

Yeah the Thinker statue's really cool and all. Trust me, I admit I'm dense all the time; but it sure as hell beats being sad as all hell.

I'm just using your own stupid argument against you. The fact that you got offended by it should hopefully stir you to consider your own hypocrisy. But the fact you didn't understand that it was sarcasm means the point was completely lost. Oh well.

(another thing they need to fix is the archaic 20-per-day post limit on these forums).

Did you forget to switch to your "Skiros" account when making this reply, dude? :D

Asking for it to be changed is not whining, but simply bringing up "I can't unsub because then I'll lose my house" often is.

It's not too often I see people ask for the ability to keep your house though. Last time I brought up extending the time you can be away from the house, in fact, most people were pro-losing house. Some even wanted it to be shorter.

If people agreed on that then buying houses and refusing to unsub because you could lose it is definitely not the way to tell them "I don't like this system". Honestly it seems like they have the right of it. Why make unlimited housing when people who can't let go will keep paying? Freaking brilliant.

But yeah willingly buying a house fully knowing that you will lose it when you stop your sub for too long, and then going "I can't unsub because I'll lose my house, that sucks" is like... what did you expect?
