I feel like this is a bit of an exaggeration. People are still buying up homes left, right, and center, (and complaining about auto-demo) even already being aware of it going in.

I'm not saying nobody would have been buying housing. However buying a house with the knowledge that it goes poof if you're gone for a while is different than buying one thinking its yours for the foreseeable future. Perhaps subscription anchor is a harsh term, but there have been several times in the past four years where its been exactly that for me.

I love the hell out of my house. But I bought it back when we were told houses were permanent until sold. I can't say I'd have bought it knowing that it would be like it is now, where a 45 day break or more will leave one homeless. Perhaps at some point just letting it poof will ease my mind, and I can just customize an apartment instead.

If they had also included instanced housing along side of the hamfisted rubbish we ended up with, they could of avoided so much drama over all this time.
Pig headed devs with ridiculous backward visions...

It’s not so much that they broke the promise that bothers me, it’s that people who already owned a house when they broke the promise weren’t grandfathered in.

I personally only bought a house because it didn’t require me to commit to the game. Then they changed their minds and now my sub fee is being held ransom when I was told that would never happen at the time I made the decision to buy my house.

Yoshi makes a promise or says what he wants to do ------> one of his bosses says otherwhise and yoshi has to do what his boss says --------> com roasts yoshi.

The biggest mistake with housing was that they made private housing available if they have issues to get houses for everyone into the game.

Many good points here but just because someone doesn't use an item for a period of time doesn't mean they should lose it forever. I might not touched my geared pld for 4 months if I'm lvling other jobs, it doesn't mean I don't want it's gear.

I personally don't even think they should have offered housing if there was not enough for every subscribed member to have one. I don't understand why they would gate any content or housing items behind a house if they were not prepared to supply all their players with a place to enjoy said content and housing items.

[Lunavi]

I mean, it was not an unreasonable change. I think they were optimistic about how many housing instances they could pop out on a regular basis and pessimistic about how many people would be interested in this feature as I think they originally thought that only role-players would be interested in it.

If they added potted plants to apartments I think it would solve most the problems and/or benefits ofwning mansions. Problem is it would flood markets with gardeners then complaining about losing their revenue.
