Housing

[EaMett]

This is quit possible the dumbest thing I have ever heard in all my 15 years of MMO's (Warcraft, Star Wars, and now FF14) Housing has nothing to do with PvP in anyway!!! Its a quality of life mechanic designed to enhance your endgame experience!
If it WAS a pvp mechanic there would be some kind of scoreboard or ladder that you could see (like they implemented in Ishgard restoration because add PvP to CRAFTING)
You are so incredible not aware of even the simplest of game mechanics that you resort to the lowest grade of proverbial wisdom to try and justify your point!!
"Comparing Apples to oranges" really???? Thats what you have to say!!? Followed by completely misinterpreting the meaning of the term PvP = (Player versus player)
The houses dont compete in score, the houses dont magically stand up and fight one another, the houses dont get anyform of achievement or titel that would otherwise serve as a "badge" to showoff to other players. Seriously sir do some research before you spout random scentences that are completely false!

need more convincing?

If housing is indeed intended as PvP... why can you set your house to restricted access, disallowing anyone else from entering???
The whole point of anything pvp in anygame EVER = Titles, trophies, badghes, gear, mounts, ladder boards etc. If housing WAS intended as PvP there would be a score attached to your house, there would be a message score card outside your house so people could see your tally, there would be a ladder board where people can see the highest scoring houses + their location so people can come gawk and awe at your "magnificence", and you certainly would NOT be given the opportunity to restrict acces or hide your score card!!

I simple cannot express how absolutely appauled I am to see comments like this be freely posteable... at least on wikipedia i can take false information down!

Wow, call me out for "misinterpreting pvp" then spouting a bunch of nonsense that has nothing to do with PVP. And I'm supposedly the dumb one....

Sorry to burst your 15 years of mmo bubble that clearly mean absolutely nothing, but lets curb that attitude of yours.

PvP is player versus player. At it's core you compete against other players for a limited ressource. Whether that be a point system for a ranking (the simplest of which would be ending as a winner), or it could be the right to access or continue using an area, or to keep playing in said area, etc.. or, what else would be a good example.... OH YEAH, HOUSING IN FF14 WHERE PLAYERS COMPETE AGAINST OTHER PLAYERS TO ENTER THE RANKING OF WHO OWNS A HOUSE VS WHO DOESN'T... Damn why didn't I think of that earlier /s. If I were smart I would even say that houses are a pvp reward and an achievement badge in their own right, because you know, that would circle back into housing being a limited ressource, but alas, what do I know? I mean it's not like the devs have mentioned this exact thing in the past as the reason for their design choices /s. Point made?

What you do with your house (restrict or not) has nothing to do with it, houses competing in scores? What are you talking about? You're conflating game mechanics with game rewards.

A wise person once said something that I think you should reflect on :
