Nice try but no.

My issues with grandfathering are:

1 These people are knowingly hoarding something that is a limited resource under huge demand, which is directly depriving other players of content. They could let go of multiple houses and not lose complete access to housing content on that account.

However! I understand that it would suck to have alts suddenly homeless, so I think that if grandfathering is ever removed then it should only be done when all characters in the same server can share the same private home. I also think players should be able to invite their alts to their own fc without needing to use a third party to help them.

2 They're not following the same rules as everyone else. I really don't like the idea of seniority perks, especially when said perks have impact on other people.

Yes legacy players do get a cheaper sub but this does not grant them an in-game advantage. The in-game extras they have don't affect someone else's game experience and are purely cosmetic. Housing doesn't fit into this category.

But like I said before I wouldn't care much about these people if there was no shortage of houses. Every single issue with the system always goes back to not enough houses.
