Please grow the MMO part of the game. End game is lousy.

Houses are a sleazy feature designed to keep people paying. IMHO it's the main reason instanced housing will never happen. It would allow players the freedom to take long breaks and not lose anything.

Whether the decision came from YoshiP or not doesn't matter.

That logic only applies if everybody already owns a house to begin with already, or did you forget that its still next to impossible for every single casual player to own a house in their own time unless they go out of their way to dedicate a good portion of game time to purchase one?
