Yes people wanted the system to change. That doesnt mean this change was good. We have every right to complain. I have to ask seeing as ive blocked you before on another account. Why do you make new accounts or whatever and come to these threads to spit your non sense? Is it to show everyone how many homes you own to flaunt your ego? (Seeing how you stick that photo at the end of every post). Im actually curious

While Mew isn't popular, they do make good points from time to time. There were quite a few of us who were against the changes people wanted. A lottery system and restricting access to buy a plot after it was relinquished were some of the main things people asked for as well as restricting houses to 1/1 per account. People got the changes they wanted, and now the changes are not as great as they thought they would be because they still can't get a house.

As troll-like as Mew can be at times. They often point out the truths that people don't want to hear. People wanted this bad system. It didn't stop resellers. Taking away grandfathered homes won't help everyone get a home (there just aren't that many people grandfathered in). And people can still own multiple FC houses, so even just starting out in the game you can have 9 homes per server per account (1 personal, and 8 FC houses). The ward system was never meant to be for personal homes. Housing prices were dropped substantially multiple times to make the feature more accessible to players, and by dropping the prices SE created an expectation of ownership in the general population of the game for a resource that cannot easily be expanded for that same population. It's a bunch of hard truths. And Mew doesn't always deliver the news in the most polite way possible, but they usually aren't down-right rude about things either. I would also guess that they're just cycling through multiple accounts they already own not creating new ones.

This is almost all of the reason that this system is so bad. Personal homes had no business being in the wards. SE can't correct this now, though, because a lot of people like having their personal homes in the wards and would be unhappy if it were taken away. Best thing they could do is introduce instanced housing alongside the wards and offer incentives that may get people moving out.

The question is whether or not they're going to bother doing it.

Point me to 1 person who asked for placecard spam? No one asked for that. The previous system was busted. (Favored flippers) So is this 1 (Favors those with houses currently)
Saying "just buy an fc house from someone" is kinda stupid tbh. And doesnt fix anything considering these houses are way overpriced for what theyre worth when others like Mew try to sell them.
