Major changes needed for housing

[LianaThorne]

Just gonna say this:

Do I think the system is good? No. And I also never said it was.

Am I accepting reality for what it is? Yes. As should everyone else.

If you think camping is stupid, you have that right to think that. If you think the system is flawed, which it is, then you have that right to think that too. I'm just not going to sit by quietly while people talk about taking things from people who aren't involved in botting or selling their plot for monetary gain. If it bothers some people that I'm not against relocation sellers, you're more than allowed to be bothered by it because not everyone involved in that is handling bots or shuffling houses through the system. It's still not going to change how I feel though, just like I don't expect anything I've said to actually affect anyone or force anyone to make a change. Will I sit and be quiet about it if I have a strong opinion against it though? No, not at all.

The reality is, and I'm sorry if this is a hard pill to swallow for some, not everyone is out trying to make a profit off housing. I personally have mine because I'm very heavily into gardening and my boyfriend and I wanted a place to share. I also have an FC so I have housing for that on top to provide my members with crafting stations, food buffs, etc. Plus, it's fun to have a house. Simple reason: it's fun.

It's fine if you don't see the value in that or think that what we had to do was hard work, like I said, your opinion. It doesn't change the reality that it wasn't easy for us to get our house at first, but we didn't stop trying. We camped for....14-15 hours that first day (ironically the same day we first met) but didn't give up and we got our first house within the next 2 days and beat out bots. I know it takes people way longer, but that's what I'm talking about by hard work. It is hard work mentally to force yourself through the same activity day after day in the hopes of getting a reward. Those are the people I'm speaking up for.

You're allowed to be frustrated by camping but that doesn't make it not the system we currently have. If Square wants to change it, that's on them. But until then, this is the system we have and I'm going to speak keeping that in mind and I'm also going to speak on the reality of what we'll all have to deal with if they choose to not do anything about housing. I apologize if anything I said came off too blunt, I am a very direct speaker and am aware that I can come off strong, but I don't take back anything I've said either.

You're allowed to have an opinion, same as I am allowed to have one.

P.S. For the person who asked where I'm coming from with things being taken from people, it's been said in the comments that everyone should be limited to 1 house regardless of whether or not they're actively exploiting the system (i.e. normal people who have a personal house and an FC would also have that taken away from them). It was also suggested that FC leaders only should be forced to give up their housing and be satisfied with having only an FC while everyone else in said FC has access to personal housing. Therefore, if that was to be implemented I would not only lose my personal house but lose my right to having privacy simply because I am an FC leader. It's not fair for people who haven't done anything wrong to be forced to give up what they worked hard to get simply so other people can have access to an easy house and it's not fair for FC leaders to be punished like that simply because we want to help people. Strip them from the people who own half of a ward in Goblet and are actively exploiting the system, not your average Bob and Sally who sat and camped and beat out people for their house and are minding their own business now. I'm all for making changes but not ones that punish people who don't deserve it.
