No FC room, no personal house... big deal??

[Niwashi]

What is all this fuss about personal house prices? If it is too high, don't buy it and wait for the price to come down.

The houses were all gone within minutes. There are no prices to come down. They're gone.

So why are all the people raging because they must feel they are important.

Well, important enough that when we pay for something we expect to actually get what we're paying for. That particular importance is something that all customers in all industries expect and are entitled to. We're paying for this game. We should be entitled to have access to actually playing this game, including its housing system.

More wards will be added.

It's already been confirmed that it's only a trivially tiny number of new wards will be added in the next major patch. That will sell out within minutes again (while meanwhile it takes my system and many other people's several hours just to download a patch, so there's no way we'll ever be able to be in game while there are house plots for sale.)

Providing housing for less than 1% of the playerbase and leaving the remaining 99% with nothing does not by any stretch of the imagination qualify as providing "Personal Housing".

Thanks for doing the math there. Of course this is pure speculation, but say they add 2 wards per month matches SE's patch cycle time more or less, that comes to 24 wards a year and in 4 years time that is 96 wards. Has every player now even banked the 4mil or so for a small house? So you don't need all 347 right now. SE doesn't have to buy all that server hardware today, and they just need to buy enough of as time goes forward.

So your argument is that it's ok because if they increase their rate of adding wards that much it would only take 15 years before they have enough houses for the players who are paying for it now?
