you're failing to point out how you owning 20+ plots is doing anything to help alleviate the issue with housing in this game - you and all the other small sets trying to take over wards, honestly. and how does checking the houses you own do anything to prove you're utilizing the facilities like the workshop? gardening is easy to check, decorating is also easy to check - and from what i hear, your houses tend to be empty or filled with mannequins named 'go away' or something like that, so way to be welcoming to the people.

do you even know what the tragedy of the commons is? my post was coherent, and you're just blowing smoke in the air because you seem to dig the drama you're creating with this problem.


except in those cases people have earned them and can obtain them immediately. with housing it ends up being... "ah, i have the money and resources to buy the house, i did the quests to unlock them and reached the gc rank. now i can't get them immediately." so, you're kinda making a bad point there.
You have to earn that money just as you have to earn your shiny weapons. The length I go for earning money and buying houses is the way you view clearing every single raid on the hardest difficulty and acquiring every last glowing goodness there is to show off. We just care about different things. But players can choose to challenge themselves in the way they want, and I choose to do so by having a neighborhood of houses. The only problem is the achievement I'm after is a limited resource while the other stuff is unlimited. Nothing I can do about that, I get what I want and I go whatever length necessary. Wouldn't you say the same about the things you pursue?
