This thread and its' focus on "wot the japanese think" has been the most hilariously racist things I have read in recent memory. As though the Japanese players are hanging out in their dojo demanding sepekku so Yoshi-P can reclaim his honour, or that the streets of Tokyo are flooded with angry japanese rioters demanding his resignation. Reality is that they're just a handful of angry people on a forum, just like you are a handful of angry people on a forum. They're not magical. They're not this vastly different category of human.

The development team knew this was going to be an unpopular feature, or they wouldn't have waited until just before the highly anticipated 2.4 to launch it. By the time October rolls around and you're waiting in a dungeon queue as a sweet ninja you'll have forgotten all about personal housing.
