Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

It's actually a decent example, but their absence was actually probably just something that translated well into Japan, so they complained about it there as well.

It was plain from the female viera reveal that they weren't going to get away without releasing the male varient. People just made noise because they didn't get them immediately.

Yeah alright. As if you weren't just making light of owning one in the first place earlier. They didn't have to go to a foreign DC to own one if all they got was a small anyway, so maybe it wasn't that smart after all.

You're right, they didn't HAVE to go to get a house since they already had a couple larges on Aether already. They WANTED to go because there would be even more larges they could get. Also, I was just thinking since the idea of transfering to another data center is such an anathema to you: you do realize you can create an alt over on another data center and see how well everything plays out right? Even scout the housing wards to weigh your odds.

Prenup. I take everything. The small just gets 3m or something. Or nothing if I go to Dynamis.

Prenup is null as you were caught around town "checking out" other houses behind Small's back.

You can pay 15$ a month to continue playing even after the expac comes out whether you buy it or not, so that's a weird example; since it's an extra, seperate purchase.

But you don't have access to the content the expac contains is the point, whether you keep playing or not.

If they opted to make instanced houses seperate I'm sure people would pay for that.

If they did that they'd never hear the end about how they're scamming the playerbase. The mogshop is already a point of contention as it is.

If this is the vision, the creator is blind and a sadist.
Also no, a neighborhood feeling is something that sounds great in theory. I can actually understand why they'd want to make something like that because on paper it sounds comfortable. Unfortunately, that's as far as it goes. Like describing a fire as warm, until you find out its burning your house to the floor, no pun intended.

Good vision, poor execution. It can work but they should have waited.

The small doesn't suffice, whether you secure one or not, that's the argument and the reason they're going unpurchased.

Once again, if people really wanted a house, like desperate to have one as most people here seem to be then it wouldn't be an issue.

It's not a privilege to pay for something just because some people can't afford it. The playerbase doesn't need to be grateful, the creators should be grateful there's a playerbase. That's how they can also afford to waste it elsewhere.

Being able to afford things others can't is a privilege and as far as being grateful, it's a two way street. The playerbase should be grateful the developers released something they can enjoy and the developers should be grateful the players enjoy it.
