Automatic Home Demolition is Resuming!!

[Reinha]

I would disagree on some accounts. If a mount drops and you win it, I do not win it. The same way if I own a house, you do not own that house. We might eventually both own a house (and mount) though.

If a mount drops, the group can then run the instance again and generate a new mount until everyone in the party has one. That's the basic principle of farm groups. Players can't generate new houses. Houses are limited but mounts are not. That's why unused houses need to be released and given to other players, but mounts do not.

As I said in my previous post, there is no housing shortage. I just jumped on Dynamis DC. Popped around to the various housing wards, went through wards 13-24 on all 4 servers. There were ~1000 plots up on just one server. Jumping around to different servers, about the same on each. And the supply will go up if SE adjusts wards 10-12 to be for individuals again, we'll see another 600ish come available per server.

Roughly 4000 plots up right now. For any player in that region. Can't get a house on your current server? Hop on Halicarnassus, for example, and you can get a house. The argument that houses should be treated differently than any other aspect of the game is silly. The only argument I've heard is "but houses are limited." Sure, but you can still get one. So they are not limited. It is moot.

And my quote was taken out of context anyway. The fact does remain, if a mount/plot is available and your "bid" wins, I do not get that mount/plot and I have to try again. However, in BOTH cases, they are available.
