Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

I think you're being intentionally obtuse. The JP forums figuratively exploded with angry threads about this. Many of which, along with a large number of posts and threads here, have been pruned when they became too hostile and the moderators stepped in. So yes, there was backlash. I suspect that, but admittedly have not checked, messages sent to the FF twitter were probably pretty unpleasant.

this is my point with atma both jp and NA (which na has a history of rarely having any threads reaching 100 pages besides the daily ones people hop on for fun) had very big threads complaining about something they didn't like. it's not often you get na and jp to agree so well but look here the threads about housing don't last very long.

Did you skip the part about threads here being wiped in their post?

yea don't see your point here. threads about everything have been deleted, atma, marriage, ect ect. doesn't add anything.

A large part of this early on was due to moderation. I suspect that people are grumbling quietly and adjusting to the new normal. Yoshi told us that this was the way it was and it isn't going to be changing.

For a game this young, I'm hoping this is just a blip and not normal practice going forward. Holding subs will be hard if they issue strings of disappointment. When you've been playing a game for years (everquest/wow), it's easier to tolerate this stuff because there is a large amount of sunk cost involved ("i've played this for years, look how much time I put into it"). It's less tolerable in a game early on.
