[Salt thread] Owning a House Offically became Dead content for me

[Silverbane]

Or they could just do instanced housing since this stupid bloated ward system ... serves no purpose ...

Sure it does. It makes me happy, my spouse happy, and the members of our FC happy.
Because I, my spouse, and my FC each own a house, two of which were acquired through the lottery system.

But sour grapes are a thing, right?

I mean, in this situation there are more sour grapes than sweet ones...
grats and all, but there so many others that don't have these success stories depending on what server you're on, all you'll be eating are sour grapes

Lol, hardly. The housing system as a whole is the worst thing about this game. It's worse than any housing system I've seen in over a decade.

People might be sour, but you straight up lack empathy.

No, I just don't waste it on snowflakes, forum trolls, or the like.

You're literally here to rub your houses in people's faces based off of your post. The lack of empathy point stands. Congratulations, here's your attention that you were looking for.

You don't waste it on forum trolls? Come on, everyone should be empathic to themselves at least! :^)

You don't know what "empathic" means, do you?
Go look it up, then stop spouting nonsense -- if you can.

(I really miss the emphasis on actual education that schools had in the wake of Sputnik.)

Empathetic - showing an ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

While I understand that your houses make you happy and am happy for you, you need to learn to read the room and not rub your own success in the faces of those who haven't been as lucky as you. Be humble.

It wasn't just luck. There's a reason I have leveled 12 alts to 2nd Lt. and L50 or better.

And frankly, I don't consider having an FFXIV house anything to brag about, no more than having a pair of Keen Uneek sandals would be.
I own Keen Uneek sandles, and as with owning a FFXIV house I get joy from doing so, but I don't think saying so is bragging. In fact, relating the joy I get from these silly shoes might lead to other people enjoying them too, so why not share the joy?

Anyone who is "bragging" about an FFXIV house must have very few real accomplishments, I think.
That's not the case for me, but listing my real-life accomplishments?
Yeah, that would be bragging.

And finally, humility is just another kind of lie. I have little use for lies.
