But what if I told you I can easily shoulder this kind of pocket change spending for hobbies?

Are you going to tell me how much of a scumbag I am now? How I'm so morally unjust and such a terrible person? Let me guess, I have 'no life' and that the only thing I have are just houses and how I must be like this in real life too? Or that I should go look in a mirror now in disgust because I bought up a bunch of pixel space in a game?

You really think your diatribes about flimsy morals are going to stop someone like me from guilt? No. They aren't. And it wont stop others alike because we don't live to satisfy people online. There are many players like me out there, not just in this game but every game. People who have the money to easily invest in the hobbies they enjoy. What may be expensive and outrageous spending for you and others, is justified and manageable by just as many others. There will always be people like me who can and will pay more for more things. You can cry to SE and your internet crowd of forum posse as much as you want to change whatever, but it ain't going to satisfy you. People who are determined to have more houses for whatever reason are gonna get those houses within the rules and limitations of the TOS and you'll still be in last place both in game and out of game.

And so what of it? Ok, so I'm selfish for wanting what I want out of my money spent. Sorry I'm selfish for expecting to get what I want from what I put in. It is the amount of entitlement that people like you put on display every other thread which is simply abhorrent. That for putting in 1/100th of the work, you expect to have 100x of what you put in. Insane. And then when there are people putting in 100x of the work you do, it's WRONG, it's IMMORAL, it's SELFISH, it's GREEDY. What's next, you're going to demand the govt put controls on corporate salaries so we can't get too rich to buy pixel houses in mass? Mind blowing.

People this matter has to be solved by going straight to the source and not complaining about and demonizing players. Several among us house people have already gone to the GM on your behalf, turned ourselves in and got told that nothing we did was wrong.

But you don't believe it, you don't buy it. OK, then how about instead of coming to the forums every few days and opening the same thread about nothing and going to the same dead end, go talk to the GMs and have a debate with them. If this matter is truly important to you, don't you think an increased # of people complaining to the GMs and engaging in conversation with them will raise awareness? If you don't think so, then give up and accept that this is how things are.
