Getting a New House Feels Impossible

[Yshtola]

69.32% of all statistics are made up on the spot 79.64 (repeating of course) % of the time.

I dare you to challenge those numbers. Go ahead, make a fool of yourself.

So quick to tell everyone they know nothing about you and what you do/how you play and so quick to assume you know everything about everyone else...

Prove me wrong.

1. You don't seem to realize that the numbers don't matter at all anyways; the whole system is broken, rendering your whole argument pointless, still.
How many players are still homeless that don't want to be?
How many hours collectively have been wasted online but inactive by players trying desperately to be the first one in the crowd to click a placard after the invisible timer ends?
How many houses are owned but going totally unused by one-man FCs holding them for "trading purposes" or simple greed?
How many houses are regularly available on any US server to help relieve the strain of house hunting? Not even the old "just transfer" response works now.

You keep making all these charts and graphs with numbers and percentages, but they don't matter at all when the system just isn't working. Even the game makers know and acknowledge it. Why don't you?

The housing system as it is provides players with WAY too much power over other players. The ability of homeowners to hop about to other plots and thereby reset hidden timers on a whim, house hoarding for self-centered reasons, and player to player abuse over a won or lost placard can in no way be beneficial to a community based game.

2. Are you really asking me for my gaming habits and personal info right now???? Stranger danger! No. Just no. Stop being a creeper.

Which answer do you want? The one for the houses in Mist 16 or the the one for the houses in Mist 20/Goblet 19?

Just in general. I've seen your other responses and I'm sorry you feel the need to get extra defensive but my question is just as it is, I'm just wondering why you have so many, what benefits are there, etc.

I wasn't expecting you to try and flex at me.

1: That's a lot of meaningless words for someone who can't handle facts you know. Might want to work on making coherent responses instead of kicking and screaming.

2: You really need to deflect everything huh? You and I both know you don't really play this game. You don't have to pretend anymore. See ya in another 6 months.

Defensive about what? We're very open about what we do, because we are working within the rules. Players are just oblivious about what's allowed and what isn't.

How am I supposed to know which answer to give you when I don't know which houses you are talking about. The goal behind the original ward was to do something that had never been done before on a high-population server and especially not by a handful of players. The goal behind the current lineup of houses was explained in another thread.

You play this game right? I'm asking because I truly doubt you grasp the intricate differences between personal and FC housing. All of these houses have a fully decked out workshop that is being used every single day along with grade 3 wheels being charged. You should find comfort in the fact that all of these houses are seeing heavy usage, because I sure am able to find (more than) 40 personal houses that are completely barren. Where's your whining about them huh?



Of course it would, that's how it used to be. All the problems showed up when personal housing came out

That's your objective take on it. We had no intentions on going back to a ward size portfolio of houses after selling the 24 houses under our control in Mist 16. That was until we've been told, 5-6 weeks later, by a senior game master that we would not see a billion gil refund, minus one, for the game's inability to give any kind of warning that money earned by a retainer beyond gil cap is discarded. Forever.

What would you do if you were told your friends had collectively lost a bilion gil? How would you react if the person in charge of the support desk would tell you that they can see your money was discarded, yet couldn't do anything to compensate you because the game is "working as intended". Make an angry rant on here/reddit? Go on a social media crusade? We skipped all that and intended to make the money back. Tenfold. You can despise us all you want, but what we are doing is also "working as intended" according to the support desk. Additionally, the players on the DC are benefiting from lower prices on airship/submarines/schematics materials and minions, because we can afford to sell way lower than the overwhelming majority of other FCs.



Read the first answer.

Are you still trying to say I don't play? You can't post without an account... Know you not this?

[Yshtola_Cat]

You're boring. You can't back anything you ever say and kick and scream when you're getting called out on it. You've had your chances to prove that you do play, even though your character hasn't seen much progression since the last time you benefited from the previous login campaign. Enjoy your free login while it last. Tick... Tick...

lol k. Alts are thing, you know. Maybe I don't thrive on attention like some...

The goal behind the original ward was to do something that had never been done before on a high-population server and especially not by a handful of players.

I just don't seem to get a straight answer from you. All I wanted to know was why you have so many and it took you 3 responses to say "So we can say we have done it, unlike anyone else".

You could have just said that and I'd have been a bit more reciprocative but now I feel like you're having to justify your actions so much that you feel like I'm trying to attack you in some way, so you meet me with sarcastic or defensive answers.

I get that you can do what you want but you've proven your ability, if you have no further need to do it and that is your end goal complete, can't you let others enjoy the experience? It makes no difference to me as it isn't the server I use but if you have no further use for it (Unless it's explained in another thread but I'm not gonna go looking for it, the conversation is here), couldn't you let others take some houses?

I'm simply asking questions so please meet me with an actual response that answers those questions, I'm not attacking you.

Please stop making so many forum alts you may actually fill my blacklist to the brim.

He's not going to stop. He needs the attention too much and too many people have start ignoring him.

Or he's managed to do something to get the old ones banned from posting so he's forced to make a new one to keep things stirred up.

If only SE would get smart and ban his accounts from the game to stop all this drama he generates. Maybe that would convince some of the doubters that SE really does care about housing. Have to admit I can see why people have their doubts when notorious exploiters like him are free to play and post about all the houses he keeps buying so other players can't have them.
