Reading this thread saddens me greatly.

You have a house to yourself - and that entire group of people do not , yet you have the arrogance to complain they're interacting with stuff in your yard?! This a dream come true for FFXIV, it was designed to have that neighborhood feeling, and you actually experience it, and of all things to get angry over it is the use of a striking dummy that has zero cost to you.

If you're not a fan of this kind of thing, just get rid of the house so someone else can enjoy - then again, this kind of opinion i am addressing says "things that annoy me personally are more important than a group of people having fun doing nothing destructive" so its probably also the same mentality that you believe you are better than they are - which you'd then be best off keeping the house to rub in their faces and then post here.

This is one of the most selfish threads i've ever seen across several different MMO's.
