Housing Ownership System Abuse

[Penthea]

Wow you're actually proud you taught me the lesson you wanted to teach someone else who was doing something I did not. Uh grats I guess.

My god. Some of you are just as bad as those you complain about. I should have known better than to expect fairness from people who knowingly abuse an unfair system. This is the only lesson you have taught me. That you are exactly what your actions say you are.

Once. Again.

It's not abusing a system. How many times do people need to tell you that before you listen to it? Several people (in several threads at this point) have pointed out time and time again that people owning multiple houses is not abusing any system, nor against the rules. People have owned multiple houses since the Housing System first ever came out. Y'know, back when gil required effort to collect? But merely mentioning that would probably give someone the thought of saying "Well lets go back to that time then!" and.. No. It wouldn't be any better, infact it'd be worse.

The only "lesson" that needs to be taught, throughout this entire thread and all of its conflicting "Well you're a bad person" name-calling is simple.

Just because you don't agree with what someone else does makes it a punishable offense. Everyone has the exact same chance to get housing at <insert plot, ward, district, etc here> and some people actually put in the time and effort to achieve what they want to spectacular feats of accomplishment. Stop trying to start a fight because someone has more than one house and actually use the plots they own. Going back to the original 'offender' that owns an entire ward on Spriggan, it's pretty simple. Those housing plots were empty, devalued to the lowest possible amount and even then, nobody touched them or even showed any care about them. But when they're bought up and put to use? Oh, well. Then the pitchforks have to come out!

Get off your Amaro and actually try for once. Instead of whine that things aren't the way you want them to be. By the twelve, it's getting worse on this place by the hour.

And before anyone responds with the generic "Well, I have a job" or "I have a life" sort of responses? Nobody cares. If you want a virtual plot in a virtual game that badly, then you will make time to get it, just like everybody else. If that offends you in some fashion, then give up and move on to something else. Because it's clear this isn't for you.

And yet, someone already asked a GM if what they were doing is legit. If you have to ask a GM that question, what you are doing is close enough to an exploit that you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

If you don't, someone will legit just sit there insisting otherwise. Asking for clarification on a rule isn't an admission of guilt: it's a show of players doing their best to be informed in order to stop misinformation.
