In Defence of Housing

following the same logic, Your sub should also guarantee your relic weapon, end raid gear, all mounts, prizes and everything avaiable in the game since you pay the same subscription as those who have all these things.

What a stupid argument. All of those things everybody can get without having to get lucky and get a limited amount item. You are comparing apples to hand grenades here.

I want relic weapon? i go farm it, and i get it. I dont have any from HW because didnt want to farm, not because couldnt farm.
I want end game gear ? i go in a static, i left my static to get more time left, else, i would now in tries on O4S and not far from the kill.
etc etc
Everyone CAN have these, if they move for. there isnt a matter of "i cant play when i am at work"

Housing? people that cant go ingame in the second the servers opens CANT HOPE to get a small house. even if they have the money to buy 10 large house, they cant hope to buy a small.
Because they are at work/school for example.

Those who bought house are those who can connect in the good time to buy some. I would be ok with you if people could buy now but... there is no more house in any server.


SE just saying "it is bad to sell back house for 10 time prices you bought it" ... wtf? they create a systeme that incite this. What is rare with a fix price will be bought to be sold back with really higher price...
Just see limited edition, or collector edition on ebay...
They do a system really rare, low offer, high demand. And... they are surprised people do this?
No they dont care in fact...



Same Sub, so, the possibility to access the SAME content to everyone. NOT giving the same content, juste allowing everyone to access...
But for housing, all pay sub, only some are allowed to access housing...


Want to see what SE allow totally to do? (did report to GM "no problem" was the answer) =

1 FC, 30 house. no matter...


1 have 2 account, 1 on each. I bought them long time ago (when they added annexes area). and i would hardly move (really love the place where i am) i hopped a third house yes i admit (with "personnal" FC) and didnt have it. but doesnt really matter... 3 room in FC house, 2 house, and can go to 4 more room with apartment system, if i need for my roleplay... But, not because i have a good situation, i can think the system is good... I am a lucky guy, and i would like to be a normal one!

Worst logic ever. Everything you listed aren't limited to the first 720 people that get them.

Wich compagny implent a game feature where you must take a days-off your job just in order to have a tiny chance to be able to use the feature ?

the awnser is SE.

[AngryPanda]

You want it that badly? Then you should've paid someone to get you one while you were at work.

Simple means to an end.

Lol your right. A feature is perfectly implented when you must pay someone to get it done (well for a chance too)

Even a SMALL bump in latency at the precise SECOND the servers went up meant you were left without a house. That had nothing to do with being able to be online at the time.

I'm on the lowest pop server for NA and all large/medium houses were bought up preeeetty darn fast and I see people in PF asking to buy them on my server. So even if you move to a low pop, it doesn't really promise you anything except a better chance at getting the house.

Luckily, I was able to snag my dream plot (8/38) and my in-game hubby got 30/60. But we memorized our route, picked a ward we thought would be good and aimed for the subdivision, practiced the run, downloaded the patch 2 hours before the servers went live, logged in exactly the moment servers went up and gunned it for our plots.

Even though I got my house, I have to admit this is a broken system. Needs to be fixed. You shouldnt have to do all that I did and stress out about it for hours before the server goes live just to get a house.

[B]If you're getting 1000-person queues on login and can never find a plot of land, maybe move to a lower pop server? If you're on one of the most populated servers in game, you should've seen this coming when Shirogane was announced.

Someone posted in another thread Midgardsormr, a preferred world, was sold out in less than ten minutes. Hard to transfer off servers the devs already deem struggling.

[8710SqualI]

You aren't entitled to a plot.

Your monthly sub grants you the ability to login. Nothing more.

If you're getting 1000-person queues on login and can never find a plot of land, maybe move to a lower pop server? If you're on one of the most populated servers in game, you should've seen this coming when Shirogane was announced.

Just my 2¢. Flame away.

Do yourself a favor and sit in your little privileged lucky bubble you call your house and shut up. You have no knowledge of any of the issues anyone else faced plus the time we spent to work hard for our gil to only be shafted by scalpers, client modifyers, FC lackey plot blocking scumbags and trade blockers.

Piss off.
