Housing complaints and some ideas.

[Fable]

I 100% agree that players that already have a house should be grandfathered and allowed to keep it, but the wording here irks me. Unless they got the house in the age of ten-thousand clicks, nothing was "earned." If you got a house from the lottery, you put down the same gil every other applicant did--your only virtue was luck.

Granted, I agree with you that those who have houses should keep them, but to those of us who have been consistently unlucky, it feels disingenuous, and a bit insulting, frankly, to be told that people with houses "earned" them.

Forgive my use of the word earn, it was not my intention to insult you or others without a house. Bought would have been suffice a word. I was not thinking anything malicious when I wrote it, I apologize for my wording. Many of us of bought them during the dark dark times of clicks or competition with house resellers but it was mostly luck or chronically online and it was horrible. ;n; Either way, I think most FC houses would become micro FCs/ if they changed to FC-only wards but if people could be grandfathered I would not be personally miffed if they changed future purchases to FC only.

For sure. Admittedly, the frustration of losing yet another housing bid to arbitrary RNG and no fault of anyone else bled through in the tone of that reply and made it sound harsher than I intended it to. I fully agree with you and didn't mean to come across as jumping down your throat for something so innocent as word choice.

But the fact that there are more people that feel like me today than the people that got lucky and won a house just proves to illustrate the flaws of the system. I apologize if that resulted in me being harsher than I intended in my response to you.

No worries at all, I understand the frustration of this inadequate and disappointing housing system. I hope you get your house soon, I hope everyone does. It saddens me that there still hasn't been instanced housing or apartments overhaul to allow others to enjoy housing. Something needs to be done but until then, I hope your next die roll proves fruitful.
