That stinks of watered down pay2win and you know it.

We all pay a sub so we should all have equal access to the game. Mog station stuff is either cosmetic or story skips/level boosts which are only a preference thing and don't give any actual advantage over other players. In comparison, MMOs that don't have subs have much more robust cash shops to keep profits coming in to the game, making it borderline insufferable because it puts all the good stuff in there, pressuring you to buy it if you want to have anything good (Guild Wars 2 has unfortunately fallen into that habit). So paying the monthly sub reduces that bloat and pressure which, although I'm not a fan of having to pay continuously to play, at least it means I have much more of the game available to me. So to then carve out a part of the game and say "nope sorry you have to pay even more now if you want this" is dirty.

To put 'good' housing behind a paywall is scummy, and just because you don't care about the higher price tag, that doesn't mean SE should only cater to those with more money.
There's really no need for the ad-hominem attacks, because of my suggestion. This would be optional content you do not have to buy, if they added more wards or reduce them depending as to how many people would be paying them for premium housing, the demand for normal housing would be decreased leaving you with more opportunities to purchase normal housing. Calling optional housing you can purchase "Pay2Win" is completely disingenuous.

If I suggested to turn all housing into a paywall you would have a point with saying they are carving out content from the game. Lets please try to keep this discussion mature without personal attacks.
