Stop Advertising Housing as a Feature

[Silverbane]

The screenshot from the official site literally shows a picture of a HOUSE not an apartment for their "housing" advert.

Are you saying that only that size and style of house shown in the picture counts as housing? Of course not. Only an idiot would think that the house shown in that picture was the only size and style of housing available.

we've gone over the severe lack of features available to apartments vs houses.

There's also a lack of features available to small house vs. larger ones, and of features available to personal houses vs. FC houses. That doesn't mean SE should make large houses with all the features of FC houses available to anyone who wants one.

And why should housing be prestige content?

Not all housing is, only houses.
Why is anything prestige content? Because even though it isn't necessary or even particularly advantageous to have it (e.g., prestige mounts), some people want it enough to work long and hard to get it?
Yep.

Why the hell can't anyone get one if they invest enough time?

Anyone can. It's been seven years since I first started playing this game, and I believe that under the present system, if I keep trying to obtain a medium personal lot for the next seven years, I'll get one. Especially after all the impatient people give up.

But that's not what you want, is it? You want anyone to be able get not just housing but a house whenever they want. Sorry, but that's not how prestige contents works in this game.
