So, a lottery system and a divide between FC and solo wards, eh?

I can see why SE does not embrace this.

"Hey Yoshi, I'd like to stop sending you cash for my house, and start sending gil!"

SE is a business first. The housing model as is keeps subscriptions rolling. I don't think we should ask SE to give up revenue in this way any more than we can ask SE to add 100 wards and not pass the cost along to us.

Yeah but that then comes back to thenfamous quote that housing won't require an active subscription to maintain....

And on top of the other one. That's its ok for players to take breaks between patches which is a quote that comes up time and time again. Evencin an interview around Easter time this year.

Hmif he's going to keep saying that it's OK to take breaks he needs to put systems in place that support his words.

How long a break should be varies with everyone person. Some feel 3 months is a break, others feels 2 weeks is enough time away. When he says take a break I don't think he means disappear completely until the next patch.

thats generally exactly what he means as its typically stated in response to the big content droughts players experience between patches..

expecting a dev to add systems that support there words isnt unreasonalble. so adding systems that let players take breaks and keep there house until the next patch is not an unreasonable request. and if its keeps his old promise of housing not being tied to subsctription status then it'll only increase his credibility

Well the Devs have backed themselves into a corner with one way out, the way they don't want to take.This is a double edge sword people want to take a break and keep their house but have unused homes freed up. That's the issue with a rent system it would be affordable to all players which just makes it more easy to abuse. Its a case of you can't have your cake and eat it too with this housing system. I have never actually said this on the forum but..I detest the current system I hate seeing others players not able to get homes. I don't like or want players with or without homes punished just so the other side can benefit.

That's the main reason why I want to see a rent timer, as getting rid of all the weird timers (especially the ones that keep getting paused and exacerbate the supply issue) would make the housing system far better overall. Sadly, too many have been traumatized by the current system to see that point.
