Housing Ownership System Abuse

[ErysNight]

I'm soooo terribly sorry that I'm delusional enough to think you're a greedy, selfish, amoral person who shouldn't have an entire goddamn ward to yourself for your mini city project when people are still asking SE for more housing wards precisely because there isn't enough housing and you're just gonna rub an entire ward in their faces. You wanna build a city go play sims or city tycoon, don't take up plots people could damn well use just for your ego stroking rp venue.

As someone that's been playing since well before housing was popular, well before my server was this populated and has earned ridiculous wealth just by playing the game pretty much daily. I do find it incredibly insane that people look to long standing players as "selfish and greedy" when the things they've done were 100% within the rules of the game and kosher at the time in which they did them. Being on a dead world with massive amounts of fully devalued houses, and you have an interest in housing? Well at the time you're not gonna pull out your crystal ball and say "well... when stormblood comes out people will finally realize what I've realized all along and try to get in on this" and refrain from legally buying multiple houses.

It's not my job to be a psychic when this very game allowed you to own alll the houses you wanted at any point in time.

To ask SE to punish players that have been here by stripping away what they worked for is actually what's selfish.

The real solution here is asking SE to provide an equal housing opportunity or all.

Hrmm...just because something doesn't go against rules doesn't automatically mean that doing that thing cannot be selfish or greedy. A rule or lack of one doesn't make an action bad or good. It simply makes it permitted or not allowed.

You need context there though. There is an entire post surrounding that quote that makes it situational. If the game does not have any parameters that would make someone feel as though something is "greedy" when owning multiple homes was a normal occurrence, then what you're saying doesn't apply. Owning multiple homes was a game given norm.

There were not enough interested people to even fill a ward and lets not talk about the Goblet. So you're right but only with the right context.
