RENT: A Better Housing Solution

[Spawnie]

Funny how everyone with a house are the one's against it; lack of perspective maybe?

funny how the 1s without houses are suggesting shorter reclaim times, house owners paying more blah blah... op wants us paying rent for houses we already own.. should we throw in water rates and electricity aswell ?? even if i cant log in much due to real life i still sub.. so id make sure even if i can only play 1 day a month 1st thing id do is make sure my house is safe lol

Lol, you can't turn what I said on me, because the people suggesting the change are those who want houses and don't mind having to pay for it, while those holding the houses and against the idea; are people who're too greedy to make a small sacrifice for the good of everyone else. Plus if you only log in once a month, then that is beyond selfish to hold a plot whilst many active players wait daily for a chance at one. There are plenty of people who'd love to put that plot to ACTUAL use, and make a lot of nice memories with friends.

How on earth do you know whether people have houses or not? I own a FC house and used to own a personal house on my old server and I still don't care about the timer nor would I care if they made it shorter.

And that's fine, so 10k every 2 weeks is literally nothing for someone who logs in daily. There are, however, people who quite literally log in once every housing cycle to stop the system from purging their plot, and that is wrong.

still dont agree with the idea no matter what any1 says.. we brought our house so we shouldnt have to pay rent on somethin we already paid for

You won't spare a small fee to prevent misuse and promote the housing system as far as activity is concerned? I'm sure you can imagine what it is like to want a house, and how would you feel if you were locked out of this system? I'm sure you can part with your small amount of precious gil so that Joe and his FC of friends can finally make a house with the funds they've saved together.

yeah i can imagine thats why i worked my butt off to get 1 :3 only people who should be blamed for people missing out on a house is only SE team in charge of that aspect not the players theres a housing update anyways and watch all the people whinge they dont want an apartment they want a house etc etc etc

[AnduinLynn]

yeah

No one is being blamed for anything; it is SE's fault that the game allows for people to log in so rarely yet hold such a valuable piece of the game, and that is exactly why this thread was made. I don't know why you're posting here if you don't understand the concept of a suggestion thread.

They probably will whine, and for good reason. A house and an apartment are two very different things, but all we can hope for is that some system is enacted of which will prevent the inactive holding of houses.

I hope you try to open that little mind of your's and look at things from other's perspectives, instead of your own. This is an MMO btw, and not all about you ^^.

How about no.

How about we all just put the responsibility for the problem right back in the lap of SE where it belongs.

We all pay the same sub fee and we all should have access to the same features in the game, including housing, without the jumping through hoops to pay rent or log in at a certain time or whatever. When you obtain gear or items, or mounts or minions in the game, do they disappear when you take a break from the game? Of course not. Your character and progression are exactly how you left them whether you log out for a day, a week or a year.

Housing should be the same way.

The bottom line is that SE royally screwed up in the very beginning with the housing feature, and they just need to fix it so that everyone in the game has equal access to a plot of land if they want it. If that means instanced housing, so be it. SE has proven that if something is broken beyond repair, they will do whatever it takes to fix it and make it great. Let's see SE give the same treatment to the housing system.
