Why change how housing works if that's making many people to not stop their subs so that they don't lose their plots (and houses, and furniture, etc.)? It's saving them a lot of money from things like veteran rewards, server infrastructure, and code cleaning, for example. And why give people more options for glamours, and increase the combinations almost exponentially, when that lack of options is certainly enticing some people into buying stuff from the Mog Station to get more variety (like being able to glamour heavy armor on a non-tank, which apparently is not a problem as long as you pay an extra for it... like it happens with almost every other "limitation")?

Obviously, he's not going to say that. As of why that happens, and if he has any saying over it or not, I don't know.
