Who is Optional – A Question of Consumer Value

[Teryaani]

What they said beforehand didn't really end up being "proof" back with the Personal Housing fiasco, now, did it? They just turned around and claimed that we "misinterpreted" what they said, even though their statement was quite clear.
You should take stuff that's said with a grain of salt, they don't always keep their word.

Granted, and if they do something along these lines, I'll be more alarmed about it. Thus far though they've been firm on this one. Their actions seem to line up with their statement.

As a note, if they start dumping tons of content into the cash shop at the expense of in game content (as in, the balance shifts to cash shop), I'll be right there with the cash shop dislikers in complaining. If they stick to the same model that Blizzard did in wow (through Mists) of having a few select things, then I'm not seeing an issue with it.

Most people trying to argue that statement about housing ALL read only part of the quote taking it out of context.

(regarding housing) He made a pretty definite statement that they didn't clarify later. That was all on SE, not the fans. They tried some damage control after that was poorly done and then ultimately got things quieted down. Not their finest hour.
