Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

You are exploiting a flawed housing system. If SE decides to correct it, then the consequences should apply to everyone.

i don't see why ancient multiple houses keepers should have more privileges while we all pay the same subscription.
It's like saying "I know that the class I'm playing is OP and need a rework. I'm okay if the rework only apply to new players after the update, but not for ancient players like me. I want to stay OP while other players are nerfed... even if we're supposed to play the same class."

I understand you love your houses, but that doesn't mean that people who couldn't get a house yet wouldn't love it even more.

My thoughts exactly.

I missed Larges in Shirogane . I walked by smalls in Shirogane and passed. I missed 2 auto demo mediums by 3 seconds . Why am I saying this? Because I am a poster boy for why people should hate housing, but I do not. The system is full of adventure, skill, timing and luck. All of this is a perfect storm for why housing is so loved.
As I said in the 4.2 thread, t anybody using RMT is for sure screwing over people and houses, but in no way is this a reflection of poor housing, it’s an RMT problem, not a housing one. Gil can buy other things too . Adding more wards is ok, I guess. It might devalue housing and make them less rare, but I can see it. Overhauling the process and penalizing people for work they have done, like taking houses away from accounts, changing FC and personal rules relating to housing obtainment and keeping it after, are all going to cause more problems than solve them.

Again I realize it’s not a perfect system, but by no means did Square "botch" it.

Well my lord, tell me what you would do in that situation:

You want to get a manor and you have more than enough money to buy one, but :
- There are no manors left on your server
- no one want to sell theirs
- maybe there is a house flipper who sell it, but it's illegal.
- SE plan to add 3 manors next month, but oh boy, there are thousands of players like you who are ready to jump on it when it get released. You can already imagine the connections issues that will stop you from getting one... (unless you are lucky, but consider pure luck as an extra effort is madness.)
- you are already a FC member with a few friends you love. So abandon them to go in another FC which possess a manor is out of question.

Tell me now, what you gonna do? Try to hack the account of a manor owner?

Buy a 2nd account? Settle for a medium? Thats what I'd do. Not everyone is going to get what they want. I had enough for 2 larges, now just have a medium and a small. Have to wait for a large to come up, whether new patch or when I save enough to buy one from a friend.

The system is very broken. I will repeat myself from other posts i had done in that Eso which i have played less then a year i got a large home 2 months after housing was implemented with no issue. Here cannot even get it over 3 years after the fact..
A instanced and non-instanced mix is the solution to much of the problems.

Until people stop kissing __ we will never see real solutions

I feel your pain, I don't have quite as much gil as you, but more than enough for a small house, and I ended up having the exact same problem as you

We can always hope for change, but I've learned to keep my expectations low.
