4.2 Housing Update

[Pireco]

Housing in this game is absurd, the devs seems to be out of touch with the situation and the players, they basically make so that whoever already has a house are guarateed a shirogane one, and who dont have , well, "houses arent supossed to everyone" (so why even bother to add more wards?) this patch shows perfectly, its band aids on top of band aids and no definitive solutions, new glamour system is just flawed, balancing is a joke, but heyy we got
a pretty ui for perform ....right now im trying to motivate myself and my friends to keep playing.
Its not only housing, its many small wrong moves, and the comparisons to other mmos make the game look bad but the memories we all have here are too strong.

Why is everyone so focused on Shirogane? There are plenty of us that own houses in other wards, and like our other wards better. Heck, my boyfriend is planning on relocating from Mist to Goblet. Just because you like Shirogane, doesn't mean all the rest of us want to live there.

Frankly, their "one FC/one person house per account per world" was a much debated argument (and agreed upon by some players) from the housing forums as a consequence of the failed 4.1 housing launch. So yes, they do stay in touch of the forums, however, they perhaps value the ease of quick fixes more. As players speculate deeper into 4.2 housing changes, potential loopholes and unsatisfactory conditions are found, namely ways to abuse shell FCs and (for me) existing players being grandfathered in.

I strongly agree with the term "band-aids" though, and as I have mentioned in other threads, I suppose the view that no true solution can be made unless the current housing system is being rebuilt from ground up (i.e. instanced housing).
