In Defence of Housing

[BroodingFicus]

If it grants me the ability to log in, why didn't the log in button work when it was supposed to? That has nothing to do with server. The button on the launcher for many simply lagged out so badly it never appeared. On top of that, NA servers are so crowded that even low pop servers sell out of lots in under 10 mins so moving isn't going to help. It isn't a matter of 'not having both' because the term low pop server for NA is still ridiculously high in terms of numbers compared to JP servers etc. Even by your logic, which going by the angsty teenager jab at the end, isn't serious anyroad, Square isn't living up to their end of the bargain.

I'm on a preferred world and everything was sold in five to ten minutes. >_>;

You aren't entitled to a plot.

But that's precisely the point: WE ARE !

People are entitled to the chance of getting a plot ! The system as it is basically makes sure that people do not have equal access to housing despite paying equal monthly subscriptions.

That means we are all entitled to the same content, to the same features, that means we ARE entitled to a plot. And most people didn't get the chance to even try getting a plot.

You aren't entitled to a plot.

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

I was in the first wave of logins when server went up, no queue. I was hopeful to be able to grab a plot. However Once I was in, I got kicked for some weird error (the usual error that happens when SE server is overloaded). From then it was a succession of "world data cannot be obtained etc etc"...

So no, my monthly sub DID NOT EVEN grant me the ability to effectively login.

What it comes down to, honestly, The people who got a plot/house are okay and will gladly defend SE, meanwhile some people and some FC's can't even get a house. No matter how you try to justify this, we should have more housing end of story.

If we can move past the turd talk and go ahead and state the real problem. The system is being manipulated. There are people that had entire systems put in place for lunch so as to buy up every plot they could and resell. How do you recognize and ban them? They aren't advertising. The people saying they will buy a LG plot of land for 400 mil is doing the only required advertising.

Set a cap on houses per server for an account. That will make it significantly more expensive to to hoard everything in site.

Although honestly, the houses were gone so fast today that I'm not sure how many any one person could have bought even if they had 10 alts with the money lined up and ready to go.

I wish there was a downvote feature.

Most of it was people who had already levelled up an alt and gave them money, and who already had a house elsewhere on the server. Rather than relocate to the new ward and give up their own house for someone else, they just grabbed an additional house and called it good.
