Usually the sprout has completed the housing district quest, and knows there is a resident caretaker to answer faqs. Although, that's not always the case. Level 2 almost never happens, but it's not uncommon in this scenario for the player to be in their 10s or 20s.

    I find it more bizarre that you want to increase the level that someone can access the quest that shows where and what the resident caretaker is. You can form a free company as a level 10 archer if you have a DOH/DOL at level 25. If you can form a free company, then you can buy a free company plot after 30 days, and therefore would want access to housing information. It's not spoonfeeding imo to have a quest that mentions where you can find this information, and SE likely agrees since they're the ones that set the quest level. Without the quest, it's not obvious that there is a resident caretaker or what the resident caretaker does. No one should have be shouting in chat or scouring the internet to figure out how a feature works. I don't think many players want to go back to the XI self help levels.
    Did I say that the Where the Heart Is quests should be removed? No, I didn't.

    I said there should be a quest once the player is finally eligible to purchase a house that emphasizes talking to the Resident Caretaker to learn about the responsibilities that come with house ownership now that the player is actually able to purchase one.

    And please give us one example of where a brand new player with no clue about how housing works inherited a FC with house. Just one. You're grasping at straws and you know it.

    The spoonfeeding isn't the quest. The spoonfeeding is piling notification on top of notification instead of expecting players to act like what they should be - responsible individuals.

    All someone has to do is actually use their house and notifications are not needed. If they're not using the house, then there is no reason for them to have one when it can go to another player that is.

    I guess you're afraid of losing your multiple homes that you only have because you use a spreadsheet to track the last time you entered them.

Jojoya mentioned bringing up a suggestion about raising the housing district quest level, then I replied, she replied back, and I've replied again. None of these have to do with notifications. It's an off-topic conversation. Just because you haven't seen any of these examples in your very narrow view of housing, doesn't make them nonexistent. They're outliers for sure, but should be taken into consideration. As you said, it ain't rocket science, but it does require you actually read what is written.
    And yet the quest is how the player gets a chance to learn about the notifications. So yes, it does have to do with them.

    They can learn about the notifications when they get the Where the Heart Is quest and the Resident Caretaker is mentioned (that almost no one bothers to visit at the time). They'd have a second chance to learn about the notifications if the new quest was added at a time actually relevant.
