Reclamation of Inactive Housing announced

[Crimsonwolf3400]

Also hi Crimsonwolf, this is kind of directed at you too, as you're calling me out for the urchin comment but ignoring the even more outlandish carrion birds bit.

I do not agree with vultures being a good analogy for:

FF14 housing in a nutshell

That is, unless we're all the vultures and only the first of us are getting to eat. It's quite similar to my own analogy, albeit more luck and nature being responsible for our meals and less controlled intent.

I however agree with this thread being an analogy for vultures:

Time to start to camp out of those abandoned houses.

FINALLY!!! i can buy a house

Finally, SE you have my full support

Thank you SE!

CELEBRATION!!!!!

Very happy with this, thank you SE!

Thank you SE! <3

The examples could keep going, and I'm not even using the rude ones, just those who are ecstatic. While I feel for them and wish everyone could have a home, I still have the distinct feeling that if something tragic were to happen to me, many of the users here would care to know exactly when only so they could buy my plot the moment it hits the market. Whatever else can be said for this decision, it seems quite clear to me that the one indisputable thing it has done is show just how little compassion most of us have for ours peers. Perhaps it has even robbed some people here of empathy and sympathy they might otherwise possess.

I also hesitated to reply at first and am only doing so now against my better judgement. I found your comparison to be more gauche, and the fact you introduced it only to try to belittle someone else for referring to all of us as vultures, to be the most insensitive thing I've read in this thread so far. Your twisting of the original reference to offend and incite your peers, escalating the tension of the debate, was deplorable. I have no trouble believing part of what you said is true though.

I'm an expert on the rude and the crude.

This thread has clearly indicated how important housing is to many users, and I hope that more get the opportunity to participate in this content. However, with the housing still being so limited, I fear most of those posting here still won't have a home, and their hopes will have been raised for naught. It seems like this decision truly hurts both current owners and those without, and that is one reason why I can not support it.
