Petition for More Wards - ITS ABOUT TIME

[Penthea]

Do not get me wrong downplaying the impact of covid is not cool. I also do not think they should turn the timer back on, but I also do not think this is a matter lacking empathy or compassion like some people like to toss around.

It is when people say they were hoping to take advantage of the misfortunes from a global pandemic in order to get a house in a game. Of course most people who feel this way won't outright say that, but some like to rephrase it as "when you're sick, too busy or unemployed you don't care about a house in a game!" as if it somehow justifies wanting to take advantage of someone else's misfortune.

I understand why demolition being suspended can suck for someone, demolition was suspended during a time when I had no house, but if a person starts throwing around that they need someone else to be very misfortunate in real life just so they can get a house from a game then I lose all sympathy for them. It's a disgusting mindset.

Wanting to still have a chance to get a house? Fine. Wanting someone to go through hardships just so you can get a house? Not fine.

I do not think it is a matter of wanting to take advantage of someones misfortune. I am sure some people think like that, but I also do not think we should infer too much and come up with our own motivations as for why some word things the way they do.

I can see where they are coming from. Yes it sucks but they do have a point even if I do not agree with it. They are actively able to play. So in their eyes the plot would prove to be more useful / provide more value in the hands of someone playing the game. This is objectively true. I do not think this line of thinking lacks empathy or compassion inherently.

I think the word people are looking for is they lack sympathy instead of empathy. Do not think it is the lack of understanding per se. Just not willing to take part and share the same feeling. Hope what I am saying makes sense, sounded better in my head. Since I do not think I have seen one person express they wanted others to go through hardships just so they could get a house. More so said hardships that prevent one from playing ahould not bar those who can play from the chance at getting a plot.

Do not agree but I can see where they are coming from.
