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

[Silverbane]

I love threads like these lol. It only comes down two ways every time.

The "All you guys can think about is me, me, me. I and everyone who enjoys housing as it is don't want to see it changed because of sore losers. Maybe unsub if all all that's enjoyable to you is housing. You should just get an apartment and deal with it if you don't want to unsub."

vs

"All you guys can think about is me, me, me. I and everyone else who also can't get a house feels blocked and gated by content that should be accessible to everyone. Everyone who has a house and doesn't want instanced housing/more wards/whatever is an elitist snob who likes looking down on other people."

More generally, as with many subjects in the forum, it all comes down to

Enjoying Final Fantasy XIV for what it is.

versus

Hating Final Fantasy XIV for what it is not.

The extreme saltiness of some forum posters, obvious from their repeated hyperbole and attacks on the devs, really makes you wonder why they are playing the game at all.

Goes both ways tho, the SE defenders or whatever you'd like to call them goes into these threads, plug their ears in and go 'la-la-la' at the detractors. Each and every time there is something negative there will be people, sometimes the same ones, who will jump at the opportunity to tell the OP or whoever why they're selfish/attacking the devs/don't understand the resources they're asking SE to allocate.. ect ect ect ect. If you're going to just do that then why go to the negatively opinionated threads at all? You know for a fact you're not going to like the opinion and even if you don't know that and end up going "just another salt thread", then like.. why even bother? Same goes for the SE-haters.

Also, you can like some aspects of XIV for what it is (personally, I love the music, fashion designs, housing items, maps, story, ect for example) and still acknowledge that the game has problems. It's not really that hard to conceptualize that people still play it because the game is a solid 8/10 in a lot of aspects and then you turn into a corner and hit the 5/10 features (Savage lockouts, squadrons, gold saucer, for example..)
