If you only play for your house you should quit and play The Sims.

Holy hell, do people not understand how MMOs work.

MMOs are social games for people to play together. They're not designed for the social outcasts to hoard houses or play tea-parties with their retainers.

The problem with most people who have more than one house is that they're so short-sighted that it makes my head hurt. Take a moment to consider what the real intention of these features were. Do you honestly think anyone at Square-Enix said "yes, these houses are limited, and people should hoard them!"

So they made an oversight. Square-Enix certainly dropped the ball on housing, but just because they made a mistake doesn't mean you should play dumb too. Try to think critically for once. Don't look at a system thinking "how far can I exploit this?" Instead try looking at a system and thinking-critically on "what's the intention of this system."

If you think the system was designed for people to hoard houses and deprive other people from property then you've failed the thinking-critically part.
