4.2 Housing Update

[Besame]

Gluttony is not deliberate abuse, it's a behavior issue. There is a distinction between a behavior and intended millions of gained gil for profit abuse. Fortunately, I don't have this behavior. What I am stating is: if SE continues to make wards without standards for purchase, eg., 1 per acct/main with alts receiving all privileges, this problem will continue. If people can abuse OR work around the system they will find a way unless SE places a total stop gap on purchasing any way but one. In any case, time will tell after 4.2. I won't hold my breath that anything I have read from them so far will come to fruition, after all, Read "A:" in my comment. Their word means nothing until the fat lady sings.

While I'm happy for the grandfathering being clarified, for my own gluttonous reasons, I do agree with you on taking their current stance at face value. I, personally, have already taken action to ensure that if they eventually change their mind, on keeping players with multiple houses grandfathered in, that I will not be losing my 2nd FC. Your signature is a prime example of them being capable of changing their minds along with my personal experience of losing grandfather status on other products/services.

Personally I always think that's it's unfair to hold to them what they wrote back in that live letter. That was said over a month before they even released housing and two years before they actually bought in reclamation of inactive housing.

I'm sure at the time they said that they meant it, but 2 years later it seems that wasn't possible any more (and it probably didn't help that a lot of the community were actually demanding that they added in demolition because they didn't like all the unused houses sat around).

Oh, I agree that we should not hold them to that quote. In fact, I was purposely using that statement as an immediate example of things can and do change. I was not at all saying I agree or disagree with it.
