Housing

[IkaraGreydancer]

Clearly we are engaging in conversation about housing right now.

My point is why complain about these threads if youre still going to go into them?

Because I have something to say about the threads if that wasn't already obvious.

You can drop the condescending tone. I asked a simple question

I wasn't using a condescending tone, I simply gave you the obvious answer. Take it at face value.

Even though your question wasnt directed at me, I'd like to give you an answer - or at least my answer: To make people aware that combining their efforts into one thread instead of cluttering the forum with many will achieve more than making the same thread with the same suggestions (lottery, drop the timer, instanced housing, more wards and so and so forth, we've heard it all).

If the OPs all seriously want to effect any change and not only vent about their own experience with the system, they'd be wise to make a "master-thread" and keep that alive, aswell as complying with the forum-guidelines to check wether or not the thread they want to make already exists. In the housing-case simply opening the forum is enough to see that there are many threads on the issue. This might be a personal pet peeve of mine, but I just love it when people acuse the devs of being "lazy" while they themself appear to be to "lazy" to make sure they're not creating duplicate thread#27.

How is making a new thread lazy? That makes zero sense. And 1 could say the sheer amount of threads about the issue can also tell how big of an issue it is to SE. I say make more AND comment on existing ones.

Not doing research and looking up old threads is what I'd call lazy, yes.
Creating a new thread is quick and easy - looking stuff up isnt.

Having a huge amount of threads also makes it harder to count how many people would actually like that - other than, lets say, a like-count or the amount of replies to a thread.

The community reps have asked time and time again for people to consolidate onto one thread, or like an existing post eg. WHM changes in Stormblood. This request is to help get the ideas to the devs but sure, your way is better lol. What you are asking people to do is also against forum rules.

I support their "stay active or lose your house" philosophy. If you're not using it, then yes, it should free up for someone else to use.

I dont agree with losing your home. SE is really tacky to do this. reallly tacky.

Making new threads and commenting on old ones is against the rules? If thats true thats ridiculous.
Also I don't think anything would be different if it was just 1 huge thread as appose to the way it is now.
Has SE even addressed the issues with housing lately? Cause as far as I know theyve turned a blind eye to them
