Housing Ownership System Abuse

[Almagnus1]

The others in this thread who always chime in every time and continue to direct people's anger towards people who own multiple homes is nothing short of detrimental to the effort of ever resolving this or ever finding common ground to have a constructive discussion. Is is a really sad sight to see people turning into animals over something like housing in a game. This community should be better than this.

Did it ever occur to you by having one side basically ignoring the other's argument you end up with perfectly rational people going BAN EVERYONE THAT HAS MORE THAN ONE PERSONAL HOUSE AND CONTROLS SHELL FCS FOR HOUSING instead of talking it over like a rational adult?

It's not a one way street here, both sides are guilty of contributing to this cluster - and it's high time the multiple house owners admit they're in the wrong.

But they're not..?

Again. If the game allows you to do it, then you're welcome to do it. The GMs aren't going to punish house-hoarders because "They have a house and I don't." sorts of reasoning. What they do is in bad taste and indeed greedy / selfish. But if the plots weren't being used before they had the idea, then they can't be slighted for people being upset after the fact, when they themselves had the exact same amount of time to buy up one of the plots.

First come, first served. Crying because you were late to the party is pointless.

Multiple house owners aren't wrong. They're collecting things, in an MMO where the whole point is to collect things.

It is when you've exceeded more than one personal house per account, and more than one FC per account as per the restrictions SE had laid out at https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes.../housing_land/ .

My exact stance is that anyone that doesn't have a subscription to cover those excess houses is exploiting the system. For example, there should be 59 subscriptions to cover the houses in the OP for that to be considered acceptable.

It is when

Nope. SE grandfathered people into ownership of multiple houses. It's perfectly allowable. You not liking it doesn't make it wrong.

Allowing it doesn't make it "right" either, particularly on this scale.

Then it's morally grey.

Bingo.

Grey areas shouldn't exist with rules... because if it exists someone will abuse it.

Aka "this is why we can't have anything nice"

In general, "right" encompasses all things that are not wrong, and are allowable.
