Can we as paying customers agree the lack of Housing is simply unacceptable to SE?

[Galaktica]

Some of us are just more dedicated than others and work around RL. While this game has SOME rules similar to RL it's more of common sense which unfortunately seems to be a dying trait even in games. Communicate, befriend playesr, connections, ect. If people can't do the basics it's no surprise. Should this game become more like RL? Giver people a trophy for trying so their self esteem doesn't get hut? or in this case a house? Funny this game has already been neref enough and people still complain.

I hate this line of thinking so, so much. First of all, it pretty much says "the reason you can't get a house is because you aren't dedicated like the rest of us" implying that everyone can dedicate the same amount of time to the game in the first place. As I've said before, god forbid you have work, school, or loved ones to worry about. No, no, no - the reason you can't get a house is because you're not dedicated enough.

Second, it implies that everyone is ready and willing to part with their house if you just butter them up. Um...no, most people aren't willing to part with their houses so let's just stop that right there. But more importantly, while some people are willing to sell property, they try to gouge the wallets of any potential buyers in the process. And, again, as I've said before, not wanting to get taken advantage of =/= being entitled. Being entitled is demanding unfair, special treatment because you feel you are better or more deserving than someone else. Wanting to be treated exactly the same - not better, not worse - as the person next to you is not entitlement. People just want a fair chance to own a house and, sorry, paying someone 5x market value for an unused or barely used plot someone's alt has been sitting on for months isn't really fair.

Lastly, it's just full of holes. Okay, fine, for the sake of this argument, let's call the current housing situation..."fair." Okay, cool, then by that same logic, it would also be fair for them to never bring back zone instances, correct? A zone can only hold so many people, right? It's not my fault you didn't get there first. Not my fault you can't access that zone to continue the story, farm for mats, do maps, hunt mobs, etc. Why stop there? Let's do the same for dungeons! Why do you need access to this dungeon? I was here first. Just go do something else. This dungeon can only hold so many people.

It's funny how the most ardent defenders of the current housing situation are the ones who actually have houses. It's almost as if...they enjoy this...special treatment. Almost as if...they're entitled?
