I basically live in the housing zone and the number of times I've seen any neighbors could be counted on my fingers (ok, that's probably an exaggeration but not by much and only because I've had a house for a loooong time). Honestly I wish they'd just do instanced housing so everyone can stop complaining about housing and dreams can stop being dashed. But that probably won't ever happen...sigh
Those are 4 reasons to have a house though? They're being used. Even if the purpose is because of laziness. Having a house because of status is fine as long as they don't own more then allowed. Just having a house period, never using it for anything other than going inside every 44 days to keep the house alive is totally fine. As long as they only have that one house (Plus FC house technically). Anyway, the purpose of this thread isn't that they're unused. If they were being used and decorated, it'd still be scummy. I've just been saying it's extra scummy in my personal experience with these people that they're purposely making their yards as ugly as possible and hard to see around the Marketboard/Retainer area unless you zoom in almost all the way.

Also I don't know why I have to keep saying this, but I understand fully that there's no rules against having multiple service accounts just to beat the housing limit. What would be the point of making this suggestion if it was a rule? If the people doing this are doing it for airships only, then this is basically a p2w situation. I don't care that they're spending a lot of money or time doing it. That doesn't make it any more acceptable imo.


As a side note, having instanced housing would kind of ruin the whole neighborhood feel of housing. Not a big fan of that idea. There's surely better ways of handling the overall problem of housing besides dismantling half the reason housing is cool and fun.
