People who have won in this savage 4.1 war can discourage "salty" losers all they want while disregarding the various underlying issues of the existing housing system.

Not sure where the previous discussion was about, but "illegal" measures may pertain to the current craze of plot buying and reselling, as well as shell alts and FCs buying up the plots (either for personal trophy decoration or flipping).

Technically, owning multiple plots isn't again T&Cs at all. Neither are players scavenging through PF, housing subreddit and whatever means to secure housing at outrageous prices (plot trading outside the game is ok apparently), while lining the pockets of flippers and RMT traders.

Yet it doesn't mean that it is okay. Not only it is morally wrong, but turns the my stomach to simply watch and be part of majority of the player base to simply miss out due to whatever reasons despite efficient preparation and eager anticipation to be part of a well promoted aspect of 4.1 patch.

I personally consider those who successfully attained a plot (especially on high population servers) are privileged, and extremely, extremely, lucky - such is the original intention of the current housing system unfortunately.
