Adressing the roots of the housing problem

Just to note: The reasons they said they'd wait til just before servers came back up to release housing info (which it seems they didn't anyways) was to prevent things like what were mentioned.

Players can't try to game or work around the system ahead of time if they don't know how.

Thats exactly why I found it strange that they released most of the information already. Either they dont know that someone can raise a FC that fast, thus hoped that there would not be enough time or we are still missing some important informations..

I know that this might sound strange but I am honestly fine with people creating those FC as long as they want it for a house that they will use and not if they are just flipping it. SE kinda destroyed the chance for personal housing and a lot of people probably waited for a long time to finally have a personal house only to see that the new rule will probably stop this. I own a FC with a a real life friend and my alts too. I used it mostly for more storage and to sell all the goods on my alts. Yet I also used it to finally buy my own FC house that has a small ship and is used. So if people use it and not just try to get it for flipping why not.

It would have been better (imo) if the first three new wards would have been FC only and would have released one week after the patch and the last three wards being FC and Personal from the start which would release two weeks after the patch. This way FCs still have the first chance to own a house but solo players would also get their chance a bit later.

I really feel that there will be at least another huge rage coming after the new house release since the houses would still not be enough. And hopefully this might finally bring SE to consider instanced personal houses..If they had that FC would have all their houses for themselves and every solo player that wants a house will get theirs too. And if they dont plan on introducing such housing then I at least hope that they make more with the apartments. Give us really huge ones and maybe a place for gardening and quite some players would be happy. Doing nothing of that will just leave more and more angry customers..not something you want.
