Uncomfortable relocating homes and issue with community

[SturmChurro]

I didn't mean that this is the only bad thing to happen to me in this game . I been around about 2 years now but I feel like it has gotten worse and idk if anyone else can feel it .

I haven't seen it getting worse at all. More of the same really. Maybe it's a surprise to people who haven't gotten some bad interactions from time to time, but I've had a spread of bad interactions since I started playing the game. If someone harasses you over a plot relocation, just remember - you have a house and they don't.

It really hasn't really changed in 2 years. Or 4. Or even 6. I've got a feeling about the direction that this thread is heading in, and it's not good.

OP. I want you to understand something: you reset the timer.

Some people could’ve been standing there since the beginning, and you’ve essentially *doubled* the time they (in their heads) have to spend standing at a plot. Of COURSE they are going to be salty - they’ve lost sleep, their hands are tired, they’ve likely been trying for a house for literal MONTHS. You, through your actions, took a house off the market and made it so people would have to start over again on a fresh timer.

So yeah, people are of course going to be salty. Who knows if their next click could’ve been their last?

Leave it be. They’re not even mad at you, really. They mightve seemed it but trust me, they’re just pissed they have to start over from the beginning.

They are absoutely mad at OP. I've been fighting to get an FC plot and happened to stumble onto one I realy liked, so I relocated my personal there. I had a lalafel start yelling at me DEMANDING I pay everyone there millions in gil as compensation for their time spent there. The house wasn't even anywhere near it's average prime time window. I caught that same lalafel botting several times after that at new plot camps. Zero sympathy. The housing system sucks but it's no single player's fault, let alone is it anywhere close to their responsibility to pay attention to new timers they cause.

Hey better luck next time: in the Goblet!

My arms were killing me too when I was house hunting, but I never once took it out on the player who won the plot, or relocated. They'd probably relocate just the same, if they won an unwanted Goblet plot anyway.

Trust me: as a person who has been in the situation multiple times, with possibly up to two hundred people sharing said experience: THEY ARE NOT MAD AT YOU.

They are taking out their frustrations on you, YES, but YOU SPECIFICALLY are not who theyre mad at. They likely will never remember your face or name after about a week, youre just one of many “that guy who relo’d”’s. You are not special, you aren’t the only person who did it to them. You just happened to be there when they got fed up.

I've relocated once to a plot once with active campers. Felt a tiny bit guilty, tossed out a "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do D: ", and then plopped my house down. The only thing said after that was someone asking where my old plot was. Results will obviously vary though.


Like MilkieTea said, I highly doubt they're mad at you personally....but as they have no way to scream at SE about how awful their system is, and so you are the next best thing as you're right there. It's sucks, and it's unfair, but I'd do my best to just blacklist anyone else who is giving you grief and put it behind you.

Yeah, I think people get so fed up with house hunting and getting it swiped up from under them multiple tikes that they forget that people are, well, people.

Frustration abounds, and some people aren’t as level headed as you. I remember the first time I got a house swiped from me (in Goblet, person upgraded from a lower tier small to that current small) I just said “wooow. Okay then.” and tele’d to my apartment in Shirogane to skulk in my pretty studio. Next time it happened was in lav beds and the person had the gal to say “i know you guys are gonna be mad. but it’s pretty.” and gave us a mist coord. We just kinda idled there for a few minutes in shock before someone piped up and said that it was a medium and to not even bother.

Every other time though? The saltiness that comes out is, while directed at the person who reloed and even caused by the person they reloed, more indicative of the players being upset at having to start over again.

I did the same, people were sitting at a plot for several hours clicking to buy; I relocated my home to it and the people there got MAD.
So, I locked my home but there were 4 housing bots there that would have won over the players. SE doesn't do anything to stop housing bots- I couldn't let the housing bots get the plot AND to top it my friend ended up getting the open plot I moved from too Screw housing bots.

I recently relocated. There was 4-5 people clicking the sign. I got 2 reactions, one was welp and one was something like being sad not getting plot near their FC house
