'Personal" Chambers? Yeah right!!

[Zelth]

Thanks SE, for such a horrible implementation of linking personal chamber to FC housing. I log on today, expecting that one of the first thing I would be doing is pimping out my new, virtual swinger's pad, only to be met with a glaring announcement from my FC: "DO NOT PURCHASE PERSONAL CHAMBERS". Obviously they are doing it so issues don't arise when the leaders are trying to kick members, but really IT SHOULDN'T BE THEIR CALL IN THE FIRST PLACE WHO GETS TO ENJOY WHAT IS BASICALLY SINGLE PLAYER CONTENT!!!!! This is about as worthless as the implementation of gardening, where only the chosen few golden children are allowed to touch the plots, except with gardening we knew it was going to be like that, and it wasn't rolled out as "Personal".

They should have taken a page from the FFXI book and linked it to an inn room instead. You could still slap the 300k price tag on it, make it the exact same in every way, but call it a Deluxe Personal Suite instead.

No, I can see the reasoning why my FC is doing it and it isn't malicious, they just don't want to be stuck with asshats they can't kick. Had SE done it a better way, it would have never been an issue, so I blame them more.

Unless I've missed something, there's 0 evidence that having a room prevents you from being kicked.

Just that while you have a room you cannot manually leave your current FC. That's what's been specified every time - nothing about it's impact on being forcibly removed by Company leaders.

EDIT: Apparently it was added in the full version of the patch notes. My apologies.

I still say it's shitty behaviour from your FC though.

The patch notes certainly sound that way, they say a person with a personal room cannot be "discharged", that's not a term you generally use when you are talking about a person leaving voluntarily.

Then why does your leader keep everyone from buying a chamber ? Some of you are trustworthy I hope, create a "trial period" after which people can buy rooms.
Work it out together ^^

Well there's always the option of creating a rank that restricts house access to people they think might become a problem.

How do you even begin to predict something like that? I've personally seen players who were awesome, contributing members go total nerd rage over losing a roll on something. Never saw it coming - but there it is. This isn't about FC's controlling their members, it's about FC's controlling their FREE COMPANY and protecting the OTHER members from 1 person's unanticipated nonsense. This whole thing is just a TERRIBLE idea. Personal housing should have nothing at all to do with the FC. At all. Period. This way EVERYONE can enjoy it, and leadership don't have yet another hoop to jump through when managing their FC.
