We already know IS won't be housing as people want, they've been saying it for months now jeez. So yes salt mine despite everyone knowing better

I'd be inclined to think a decent chunk of players don't necessarily follow the game's development news religiously. Certainly not to the point of keeping track of interviews and Live Letters. So, no, I don't think it's a case of people 'knowing better'. Especially not when the likes of Lost Ark and TESO are mysteriously able to provide their equivalent player housing systems to every player who requires one.

Then, of course, there's the whole elephant in the room where the state of player housing in this game has been a consistent controversy for as long as the feature has existed. With each new attempt at 'fixing' things only breeding more contempt.

I say this as someone lucky enough to own a large and a medium - player housing is in desperate need of being fixed and made available to more players.
