In Defence of Housing

[Odeon]

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.

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.

Well it does actually guarantee you access to all of those things. It's not like only 2000 people on a given server are allowed to have a relic weapon or go on raids.

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.

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.

You can simply go get enough gil to buy off one of the scalpers. It's really not that hard.

So it's not really stopping you.

Only....Scalpers are breaking the ToS. It should be stopped, not seen as an alternative method.

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.

[Noxifer]

defence looks awful

Your opinion :3 Doesn't mean it's incorrect.

[DkFusion]

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.

Also, I played this game since 2.1 and never got a chance to buy a house, until now and never complained about it. I was satisfied with my apartment, so why should't you be?

My grandparents didn't have electricity, why shouldn't we be satisfied with the same?

I mean, I know there's a SE white knight apologist in every thread, but yeesh. This is a problem that's easily fixed by spinning up some new VMs for housing wards. For a sub game to tell more than half the playerbase that if they're not online within 10 minutes at 6am on a given day they can't have a house is amateur hour.

I wish there was a downvote feature.
