Things I'd definitely like to see implemented in the game so far

Not really. 10 years down the road, you would eventually get said reward (if the game is still online).

Not even you believe in that, let's be honest here.

Plus, the issue isn't just getting it, but keeping it. So yeah, good luck with a reward 10 years in the making that you can't enjoy if you take too long to come back to it!

Reward? Or leash?

Unlike the general population, I have no reason to lie about anything on here. I'm not trying to fool anyone, myself included. I enjoy this game for what it is. I have my list of things I'd like to see change. I go on with my life.

Housing wasn't intended to be a leash. It was the players that originally made it so, by leaving plots / houses empty and then begging for demo to be put in. It's a luxury good. I don't consider it a reward for all that needs to be invested, putting things together. I didn't come here to build a housee. I came here to have fun. I've done enough houses in other games and I can still visit them if I like. One has to be unboxed and paid for when I get back, but I have the layout saved.

It's two different things to say you have to pay 10 years worth of a subscription and wait all those years vs. coming back every 45 days to keep something active. If you have feelings towards doing either one you might be here for the wrong reasons.

Oh I wasn't calling you a liar. Absurd reactions and hyperbole don't necessarily have to be lies, and usually sarcasm resorts to one of the two. If anything, I thought you weren't being serious.

And yeah, housing wasn't intended as a leash. But then crap happened, and the amount of effort you put into both getting and maintaining a house alone are really huge issues. You might not feel particularly attached to your achievements in-game and devalue them, but some people do. At least in the sense that housing is such an annoying thing to deal with that it really doesn't match the downside of losing everything on account of not being subbed for so long.

And yeah, there is a difference in a 10-year reward's worth. But at least you're not at the risk of losing it all. And at least for the comparison I made, it was specifically the bit where you mention a wrong way to apply pressure and keep playing. If anything because of how extreme the loss is.

The loss isn't something you can maintain. It's just an outright "bam, all's gone, f you".

At least the other rewards you get to keep.
