[insert various complaint here as to why I dislike something being added to a stale game that needs this kind of thing.]

Seriously folks: it's time to wake up.
Putting in a full personal housing feature is not going to happen right now. Not only would you have to code it to allow all of these things you all want to be able to do inside a room (which most likely isn't possible with the current game client/servers given how other "simple" features can't be put in currently) but you have to make furnishings for the rooms, a system to place said furnishings into the room the way you like them, etc. etc. etc.

Player Inns are being put in so you can experience a personal area that does not devour all the precious resources some of you moan and groan about until they can devote time to actual PERSONAL housing.

This is an addition the game needs, even if it's too simple for you. Saying things like it's a waste of time is just stupid.

There is a cost to every change they make and they have to consider just how much time/money they can put into a portion of the game. Player Inns is a time/money saving addition that will add a feature to the world (rested EXP) and give players a personal space if they desire it, even if it's currently not their very own space.

This is not one of those topics you complain about. It's a welcomed addition. Not like this is the surplus system or something game breaking.

FFS.
