Positivity about housing!

[Wysteria]

Exactly. I'm just saying there is no point in getting angry at people for being fortunate or being happy about it, even if they're "bragging." Square Enix is 100% at fault for all of the stress and anxiety regarding housing. I'm just saying that it reflects poorly on one's character to seriously take out their frustration on another person for a terrible situation they happened to strive in despite them having zero control over it.

this exactly,
I missed a chance for our L FC house too, like all hardworking and sleepless night went down in drain.
but I'm upset at how system is designed, not people in the game.
I'm salty, yes. But congrats whoever got a house.

People talk like this community is so great and the replies here are entirely why I am jaded.

People seem to think the entire world revolves around them. Not everyone who got a house cares about what other people think or more importantly whether or not others did. Just because it's exclusive doesn't mean that people who were lucky enough to receive houses and are happy about it are only bragging.

I'm not saying this is a great thread and all that, but the people who bought houses and got lucky shouldn't have to be bleeding hearts for the rest of the community.

Finally a good answer. The guy is just happy to get his house and all the community is using him as scapegoat. There is nothing wrong with this thread.

"He got his house at the expensse of everyone else" yeah, so? Everyone who got a house in this game done the same. You going to criticize everyone who owns a house in this game too?

They certainly could've timed this thread better. They brought the backlash on themselves really. I know full well the OP isn't at fault here, but posting about how you got a house at this moment is just rubbing salt in an open wound for a lot of people, and I understand their reactions to the OP completely.

Aye, like i stated in my reponse earlier in this thread. I have no hard feelings towards OP. I just dont feel right to post such a thing on patchday when 90% of the people wanted a house was skimmed on it due to either lag, login errors etc

I'm happy for OP to get a house but making a post to "brag" about it wasnt the best way to go about it. Honestly, why did we need to know about it really?

It's extremely difficult to tell from text if someone is sincere though, with the timing and the outrage of a feature a lot of players simply can't experience, you're going to get their scorn and rightly so. There are so many on this forum that like to poke fun at the anger of others that you're just not going to get anyone who will take any positivity here as genuine.

If the OP does mean well, congratulations, you got lucky and can enjoy content a lot of players would love to experience, for that I am genuinely happy for you. As for me I'll happily continue enjoying the game in other areas and hoping one day to be able to get a house for me and my FC. I'm not happy about the outcome but I'm hardly going to start throwing my dummy out of the pram because of it, hopefully it will get addressed but I won't hold my breath too long.

The truth.

I salute you for this post. Really!

Though I can relate to the sad and disappointed feeling some might have right now, I still find it terrible to get mad at the people who were lucky enough to get a house and are understandably happy about it now.
Nobody needs to feel guilty or bad for having a bit more luck that others do, tbh. What happens here is simply shaming the OP and it's so sad to watch..
'I didn't get a house, so everyone who got one has to be a bad person!'
'I didn't get a house so no one should have gotten one!'
'I'm sad and angry now, so other people aren't allowed to feel good!'
That's kinda what I'm reading in most of the comments here. Envy and jealousy, simple as that.
If you wanna be angry, be angry at SE for not giving us enough plots, but not at the ppl who got houses.
Do you know about them? They might have worked hard for their house too. They might have been up all night too or didn't get any sleep the days before the patch because they were so invested in the idea of getting a house for themselfes or their Fc.
And now, they don't deserve to be happy because...SE didn't make enough plots available?
We knew this all before. We knew that there would be a, well, 'battle' for the houses. There were jokes and memes about this shortly after the SB release.
So don't let your anger out on the wrong people. Please. It won't get you anywhere.

"I was lucky and I'm happy I was!"
"Don't brag, you got a house at the expense of everyone else, I can't believe you. Why don't you feel guilty about this?"

Square Enix plays this community like fools and you guys are figuratively ripping and tearing at each other for their mistakes and negligence, just because you didn't get something that another person has.

I do appreciate players like you standing up for the innocent and I think others do too. Yes, I agree the lucky players who are simply celebrating their good fortune shouldn't be blame for the shortcoming of the system, but no, I don't agree that the OP is one of them, at least not after coming across a couple of his replies on the forums, especially on the housing topic.

Will like to take this chance to congratulate the lucky ones who managed to grab a plot during Shirogane (Savage)! Here's hoping they wouldn't get flame unnecessarily unless they are house flippers or go out of their way to brag and rub salt on other players wound. As for the rest, here's hoping SE will finally do something about this mess and we may all enjoy a little piece of heaven of our own.

Let me ask you this. Say you got a promotion at your current job but your best friend lost theirs on the same day. Would you celebrate in front of them on that very day and insist going out to dinner? Probably not.

No one is saying people who got lucky need to be bleeding hearts but creating a "positivity" on the day most people were screwed out of that same feature in some way or another is remarkably tone deaf. This isn't even the OP commenting on an existing thread saying they got lucky and are happy about it. They created a thread to spotlight themselves and draw attention. I hearken back to the example above.

yeah, there is a difference in your metaphor. The OP is not your friend, he has no social obligation towards you.

Also, grow up. Learn to be happy for other people.

I have to agree with the quoted reply.

There's also a flaw with your metaphor/analogy, in that the person is not only someone who is my best friend, but simultaneously their situation has nothing to do with me. In the case of housing, someone getting a house means that someone else cannot get one. In the example you gave, I would have gotten promoted for something unrelated to my friend's firing, especially if we had completely different places of work.

Also there is the fact that the OP was not directly addressing you as a person, but the forums as a whole. Yet people still got incredibly personal as if they themselves had personally spoken to, offended that the OP would even say anything to them after they had been screwed by housing. Pot calling the kettle black, it just shows how selfish a lot of posters are. There is simply a lot of pretenders acting as if they care about how others feel but in reality it just reeks terribly of, "I'm bitter because I specifically did not get a house."
