Housing Ownership Restrictions

[Kenky]

That reads like the GM asked the supervisor for a hot take, and the supervisor got it, so (more than likely) the supervisor didn't actually do much research so the take provided here may not be accurate of what SE actually thinks, and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Since owning multiple houses is unfairly denying other players the ability to participate in the system going by the restrictions outlined at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ , it's griefing. This line is shows that the ward owners should worry.

So, instead of simply taking the Moderators stance (especially when backed by a supervisor on this) and leaving it at that, you still try to find some form of loophole to make them guilty. Despite the fact that, even in other threads. You've been proven wrong.

It's not an abuse of systems. It's not griefing. It's not breaking any rules or violating any terms. If "unfairly denying other players the ability to participate in the system" was a bannable offense, or even an offense to begin with (not something you've made up, mind!) then sure. You might have some ground to stand on. But let's focus more on it for now..

Unfairly denying others the ability to participate? Incorrect. You can, just like every other player, spam a placard for your chance to own a house. Not to mention the Apartments that are essentially infinite being an option to those that wish to Participate in the housing system, without the toxicity of other players at a placard point. People seem pretty adamant in forgetting this fact. Wonder why..

But that's assuming you're talking about participating in owning a house. Not the FC-only systems like submersibles and airships. If that is the case, then every private house owner is punishable by that standard and that is.. What. About half of FFXIV's playerbase? (give or take) and nothing has been done. But if "denying participation" is such an offense, why haven't we been banned yet? Sure is a mystery!

Stop looking for loopholes or reasons to justify attacking other players because they are doing what they enjoy.

I sincerely doubt any of the other sects of the game would be under this much scrutiny. Do the Savage / Ultimate raiding teams get attacked because they beat a fight faster than one random, insignificant stranger? No. Do crafters and gatherers get attacked because they make optimized rotations to get squeeze every ounce of quality out of new items? No.

Yes, I'm aware it's pretty weird to compare raiding in an MMO to housing, but at this point, with how frequent people come up with "We should hate people because they have X and I dont", it's gotten to the point where nobody can really take you seriously anymore. It's just the same points and refusing to accept the answers given to you, plugging your ears and screaming until we go away and act as if you won. Grow. Up.
