The great debate about housing and TOS.

You love that support desk, don't you?

It answers my questions, yes.

I'm curious to know how this post adds anything to the discussion but to derail it? You could at least be more helpful and point out that the support desk doesn't give the best results such as when certain users of a Free Company on Balmung were held hostage by their leader by not allowing them the fc housing rights to remove and demolish their rooms and hence leave their free company.

They could not enter the house. Could not remove the items or demolish their rooms All the support desk did was keep pointing them to a generic and -wrong- info for them to leave. In this thread we found out what caused people the inability to take out furnishings, demolish the room and leave the FC. The only reason these people were finally allowed to leave were because of peer pressure and people on Balmung hearing about the situation and staging a sit in whenever the FC leader was around.

The entire time the support desk just kept telling people the steps to remove items if you had access to do so.

SE is not going to come right out and say don't do it. They are trying to give some freedom to the players to manage a situation like that, but they make it clear that doing so is not an SE policy or something they really encourage because then they'd make themselves liable to have to save someone after they get scammed..

If they say yeah you can do it but in actuality their policy doesn't support it then they find themselves at points where people are going to say..

"But you said it was cool SE.. I got scammed and now your GMs won't help me.."

SE came right out and said "player driven casinos using /random and gil are allowed through x y and x because through chat we can help you in case of scamming."

What stops that with housing? You still speak on the terms in game.

Another edit:
My suggestion is that the thread title is edited to search for gm clarification and those you post it in the general discussion area as well to get more notice.

The support desk calls before this were for an unrelated incident that took literally days of talking with GMs to settle.
