How to fix housing in 2 steps

[Jojoya]

You are not only asking them to copy other game's system and you are also asking them to invest physical hardwares into something only minimal players will actively using.

You don't know how much hardware is actually required nor how much a new system would get used (especially considering how many players would then have access to something they currently don't have).


By your definition, the current system is even less than optimal. Look at all that wasted server memory for the sake of a single player who happens to be standing alone in a ward compared to optimal use of that memory for instanced housing.

Let me further explain on how your idea will not work.
Beside investment of hardware resources, you are also pretty much asking the devs to spend development resources into creating a new system on top or original system (only drawback by supply unable to meet demmand)

They don't need to create a completely new system from scratch. They can copy existing systems for a starting template and improve on those.

Not certain how the activities of a very tiny group of forum posters relates to developers working on improvements to housing system. I doubt that the team responsible for player character model customization also handles housing.

PvP side, in which is now quite big chuck of playerbases also demanding further refinement of currentPvP system

The developers working on PvP are most definitely not the developers working on housing.

Playerbase also want a better report system for TOS abuse and harassments, urgently.

Now this might actually a connection with housing as I imagine the UI team probably multi-tasks across different areas of the game. But then again depending on which route SE might choose for housing improvements, need for assistance from the UI team could be minimal if needed at all.

Majority of players want better gear design

The developers working on gear are not the developers working on housing.

Why would them want to recreate/copy a system from scratch?

Why have the remade anything in the game? Because enough players were not happy with the existing version and requested improvements. Most jobs in the game play nothing like they did back in 2.0. Most of what's left is ability names.

Why should housing be the only thing in the game they're not allowed to update when there is such a demand for housing? Because it will infringe on the prestige you assume you have as a house owner?

Relying on the definition of housing is a matter of semantics and ambiguity, that definition is for the real world and we're talking about systems in a game. The systems are similar yes, but apartments have much more in common with FC rooms to the point that they're not particularly meaningfully distinct depending on your permissions and what your fc has bought.

And both FC rooms and apartments are included in the housing system of this game. You can't sit there screaming "they're not housing" when they are. It's not the lack of a feature that creates most of the difference between a house and an apartment, it's the quantity of the feature.

You're like a child screaming "that's not an ice cream sundae because it only has one scoop of ice cream and is missing the cherry on the top". As long as it's got the ice cream and some sort of toppings that include a sauce, it's an ice cream sundae. Apartments are still housing because they have the base qualities of housing (a place reserved for the player that the player can customize to create a home for their character).

Trying to redefine the word to suit your goals isn't going to get you anywhere.

Again, you should be describing what you want from housing, how a house provides that something and how an apartment does not instead of stamping your verbal feet going "apartments aren't housing!"
