From what I gather the issue is not the accessibility of housing but that the community was lied to and no one found out till the patch notes. One can brush it off and go "well its just housing and has no real impact on the rest of the game" but the thing is, if we cant trust them to be honest and truthful about a non major (although highly desired) bit of non main content then what reason do we have to trust them to be honest about major content?

There are times when the player community has to give developers a huge and very loud NO, even if its over vanity/non main content its a good idea to not let developers go into bad habits. Of course its up to the members of the community on how they tell the devs that they dun goofed.

So its not really worthless if its part of an important topic.
