Japan General Discussion/Housing Deleted Several Housing Complaint Threads

[Darkobra]

Ultimately, what really matters is whether people are disappointed enough to cancel their subs. The devs are aware of players' concerns. Cluttering the forums with redundant rage threads doesn't serve any meaningful purpose.

SE will keep getting my money, but that's because I'm happy with my apartment and with my FC's house.

You're happy. So you want to mute the voices that aren't happy. I don't feel like embellishing further. It'd be a waste to explain to you why you're wrong.

Should have added Ishgard along with Shirogane housing to spread things out.

Thanks for the feedback from Japanese forums !

Well I will let you know that it is the same here in NA/EU forums.
I did notice some links I had loaded in some tabs lead to a 404... looks like some Illuminatis are really behind this

let's just keep creating more threads !

Please do!

You're happy. So you want to mute the voices that aren't happy.

Whoa, come back to reality!

I said no such thing. Do not put words in my mouth.

Do you honestly believe voices are being silenced just because everyone can't be a special snowflake and start an entirely redundant thread? That's not me putting words in your mouth. That's me asking you a serious question, because that appears to be your complaint.

Honestly, I kind of wish SE let people make their snowflake threads. The salt was quite entertaining today during my work breaks.

(For the record, I wish we had instanced housing... but this is a game, and I really can't find a good reason to get all worked up about it.)

They don't tend to post in the general discussion. They actually use the sub forums. Check the housing subforum there and report back.

Sure the devs are aware of players' concerns, but the lack of housing has been a concern for some time now. It's way to limited for the amount of people that want to buy their own plot. SE seems to just ignore the amount of people that want a plot and the amount of single accounts that own multiple plots (entire wards even).

Even if SE limits it to 1 plot/account there still won't be enough. They NEED to open more wards. Will they? I doubt it. If they don't give a reply to this housing problem and what they plan to do about it then I'll be canceling.

open more ward is not a solution, they will never have the server for allows every player to own a house.... and you know what? that the wrong way to see it.

at the base the housing system was planned to be in two part:
- house
- appartement

the trouble is at the release they was only able to offer house... what was reserved to FC, and that do make sense, this sort of house must be used as social gathering spot for a guild and offer facility for help the guild. and the house work perfectly for this.
but later, instead to create either special ward for player or add the appartement... they did decide to allows player to purchase the same house than FC.... and now we have a huge trouble on hand.... most of the ward are filled by player, when FC definitivly need this housing, it's a marvelous tool for FC.

player must'nt be allowed to own house, instead they need to work on a system of appartement offering something better and focus it on player only. why not add a system of upgrade for the appartement?
but in the end, i say it again... house must be for FC only... when you see that in ragnarok shirogane have something like 5-20 FC that have get a house.... it's not normal... the worst is behind some of the player did only purchase house for resell it... it's not even hidden, it's done in the pf... or shout in kugane...

add more ward will solve nothing... ward and housing must be a fc only thing and player must have the appartement system that they can upgrade and make it better by adding balcony, more room and more space. if not a duplex with a second floor. many idea is possible, the housing system need a huge change and upgrade.... the question is, do SE is ready to do it...

House = FC
Appartement = player
that your solution!

They're providing constructive criticism of the housing shortage in the sub forum, and trust me, having lived in Japan for years now, I can tell they're furious. You won't see any shouting or straight-up complaints over there; all you'll see is logical discussions.

Like most of you would have guessed, they're fuming over the same things we complain about: lack of wards, lack of FC estate priority. You guys are not alone.

[Unaki]

They're deleting only in the general board. There are a lot of complaints in the housing sub-board. Nothing to see here, just needless fearmongering.

[Vahlnir]

They're providing constructive criticism.

This is something our General Discussion doesn't do often enough. The anger and frustration over the current housing situation is understandable, but if people were a bit more constructive in our criticism we might be taken a bit more seriously. Not making 14235647589 threads about the same topic would be a great start. Keeping it contained to 1, maybe 2 would be ideal. It's also a bit of a statement if the people on the JP forums are indeed frustrated too.

[Dalmacus]

They are deleting other threads because there's already an existing thread of the same topic. You have Japanese there too who are disappointed about the housing system and want them to stop doing housing war/savage. People there are not whining like a baby but giving very good logical discussion. But when you come to Eng forum though, you have people who act like a baby and threaten to unsub just because they couldn't get a house.
