We need another Housing purge

[Rogatum]

Moral High ground? For being against something that hurts other players? At least Yoshida has stated that he does not want it and seemingly this is completely in the hand of the GMs. In the end they probably wont do much against sources outside of the game but who knows how they do that ingame. About cursing: You do know that people have been banned from the forums and even got punishment ingame if someone reported them even if they meant the cursing as fun? GM will do something when someone reports the person.

I pick this because unlike cursing (we have a filter) which is still punished if told, parser and cosmedic mods, buying x amount of houses hurts players because its a limited resource. Also yes its not our job and we cant enforce it..but bringing this to the attention of SE can be done. Alot of those that have big amount of houses also often brought the attention to themselves, either by behaving badly ingame, by forum posting or by giving interviews. They then should accept if they get negative feedback about this.

If you know I am also someone that is against selling content for real money, using exploids in content and I want SE to have a clear stand with their ToS (dont punish people for talking about numbers thanks to parser but turn a blind eye on streamers with it). I am going after the housing aspect because its the topic. Its that simple. If there is another topic (which did happen in the past) that is against the ToS and even hurt players, I am posting my opinion too.

Everyone has their own line where its crossed. For some its already cursing, for others its housing, for another person its bug exploiding and someone hates them all. And all of them are in their right if its against the ToS. If you are in the end fine that someone has over 16 houses in a game that has limited amounts of them, then thats fine. Others dont need to accept it and can post their opinion about it.

My concern is if SE was as hard as you want them to be when it came to the ToS the game would become barren. I was suspended for nine days nercoing one thread, I do not want the in-game moderators to police the game like they do the forums. I would lose a lot of good friends. I did not know players got punished for cursing in game, I curse like a sailor and have never been punished so I went based off my experience.What I am trying to say is if we open the flood gates to a system were SE goes full force with enforcing the ToS many players would be punished for things they have been doing that went years without being punished.

What do we do about those players that were grandfathered in? If you have an issue with players that have 16 plots, you will hate my GM since he does have 16 plots and was a carry over from the old system. A rule break is a rule break I do not think people understand the impact it would have on the community if SE listened to the outcries for those asking for stricter enforcement of the rules. That is something that needs to be done from the start not years later. You call it babying, I call it people trying to get SE to punish players for their lack of foresight. The reality is the players that own more then two plots is a symptom of a choice SE made. Their inaction of not going with a one house per account rule from the start and seeking a viable long term housing solution is what hurts the players. People are looking at the wrong people to blame. Sure it is greedy, but it is also smart and cleaver workaround the rule set provided.

I would like a lot of things changed with the housing system, for example a large plot should cost upwards of hundreds of millions, I should not have been able to buy one for 17 mil. Asking for changes is one thing, asking for people to be punished for things that SE was aware of and did nothing about or simply ignored is where my true concern is. Hope I am making sense.
