Naoki Yoshida says negative comments from trolls are "tiresome"

Yoshida also said Housing was going to be personal, separated from Guild Housing and affordable.

OT reply: As I understand it, he was referring to apartments, which are personal/instanced, separate from FC housing, and affordable. The statement seems to have accurately predicted the introduction of apartments at a time when (I believe) wards were still limited to FC housing only.

What reversed it was opening up ward plots to individual purchase, but I think people were making de facto single player FCs to get around the restriction anyway. Personally I'm fine with FC housing and personal apartments only, but we can't really go back at this point.

Predictions are hard, especially about the future. Sometimes they just change their mind or decide to take a different path vs. what was originally planned.
