The Real Problem with Housing

[Sythex]

Why is almost every event still rewarding housing items (including outdoor furnishings) when acquiring a house is such a fickle process?

Don't forget the way they promote housing items as major features in patch notes and even live letters, they're basically showing off things to the community at large that only a small portion of the player-base can actually look forward to. The rest of us either have to shove furniture and housing items in a retainer to collect dust or sell it.
