Latin huh...
I dont need to know your game experience to know we differ from opinion, and to that end it's not even relevant either
However... you claim your opinions to be facts. In laymans terms you are arguing that "buying a sofa" or a aquarium fish is a Pvp mechanic...Do you understand how rediculous that sounds?
First of all, I have explained myself in detail, you just don't like my opinion (and I don't like yours)
secondly, neither post is intended as bait. After raiding 5 days a week on hardcore mode in MLG groups, I simple came to the conclussin that the bigger the difference between the casual gamer and the elitist(jerks) the more unhappy the masses become. Its like dance class, if I make the choreography WAY to difficult. I will lose 95% of my students(speaking from experience), whereas Zumba classes are overflowing everywhere.
If you want to appeal to the masses you have to cater to that end. MMO = " massively multiplayer online" it is intended for the masses thus the devs should develope accordingly! But I'm straying off topic, this is the other post(though similar in nature).
back to housing. Lets take into an account the bigger picture, since you speak now of how things are and what the devs want. Isnt the forum designed for people to give feedback on things they would like changed? isn't the general discussion forum the exact place where you're supposed to go to if the devs did something that you believe could be better?
I HATE PvP, but I am a quality of life person. I dont like the fact that the devs are basically forcing me into a (as you so adequately put it) pvp environment even though life-style, housing, literally the couch you rest your head on, is a quality of life principle! You're literally saying, "to be allowed to rest my head in a comfy chair(in a mansion) I need to beat the crap (pvp principle) out of all the other players that want the same thing. If thats what the devs intended, then the devs are messed up!
So instead of coming in here and "wasting your time" preeching about what the devs did in the past, instead lets hear how you can think innovatively and solve this situation to make the pve community (which is a big one)as wel as the pvp community, happy.
There are always a million reasons NOT to change, but it takes courage to make change happen.
Live and learn, stop doing whats easy.
