I'm confused. If this was content so important to you you're going to unsub over it and tried to bribe the devs to get it...why didn't you use all the resources at your disposal. Why didn't you take a free transfer in early SB to a place with ample housing available like so many other ex-Balmung players did? Because clearly this is THE MOST IMPORTANT content to you, beyond any other concerns. If you're willing to unsub you're willing to permanently leave behind friends, events, progression and everything else in a far more permanent fashion than server transferring. So why didn't you?

OP yes, the mess is ultimately SE's fault but your personal complaint gets no sympathy from me.

Its so important to some people that they're willing to send death and rape threats to an FC's personal social media over it.

That’s really happening? Wow, people are disgusting and need to grow up. Should never threaten harm upon people just because you didn’t get what you want.... seriously f@&!ed up.

It's a rumor. Not actually happening. At least the FC leader denies about all claims regards to that. Only thing that's confirmed is that he deliberately harassed players and griefed them, and kicked out few of his members because they did not agree to his behaviors. He later pulled Kevin Spacey tweet towards people, and it didn't go so well so he later actually posted a sincere apology for everything that has happened.

Regardless, he and FC didn't remove the plots still.

My FC got a ton of flake when the new housing area came out and the FC leader got the large up on the hill there (plot 30, I think) so that sort of thing isn't an isolated incident. I know that FC still comes over to our house and harasses people (and those wards have been out for months by now.)

Regardless, I think SE really needs to create more gold sinks. The fact that so many people not only want houses but can afford said houses that they create this sort of uproar is a testament to the lack of gold sinks in the game. Oh, if you buy everything from the MB, you'll be poor enough, but you can literally get almost everything else in the game by working for it. Even the BT mounts/minions are very cheap. Housing is really the only huge purchase that's bought from an NPC (technically) and therefore it's one of the only ways you can kinda-sorta prove you're rich. They need NPCs that sell mounts, glam, minions, etc for cold hard gil and a lot of it. WoW does do that well. There are a ton of mounts that range from affordable to the most expensive thing in the game, and they always add in new ones. So you get the multiseater mounts, the mounts with vendors, and the purely gold sink ones. The most expensive thing in that game is the spider mount, which costs like 2m gold (which would be like 500m to 750m gil when it came out.) People bought that and still ride them, regardless that it's a ground mount and they're in flying zones. xD The black market auction house is a nice feature as well. The NPC auctions stuff that are either really rare or that were taken out of the game at an earlier date and they also sell these boxes that are wonderful gold sinks -- they contain rare, rare mounts, transmog, and useless stuff. So you could end up with the rarest mount in the game or a minion worth 20k gil.

SE simply needs to give players more ways to spend gil other than housing. Make a beautiful, shiny mount that costs 750m and I can guarantee a ton of people would buy that over a house. After all, a large in the Shiro is nice and all, but they can't ride that everywhere and proclaim their wealth like a mount would do.
