(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Stormpeaks]

But it is truth? Large houses are a luxury, that is the way SE set it up at the start of this. Will they change it? I hope so. It sounds like they're considering changing the interior size at the very least. Good news as far as I'm concerned.

But all these weird mental gymnastics are just smoke and mirrors to disguise the tone policing going on here. And, it doesn't change the fact that /right now/ large houses are a luxury. SE did not intend for everyone to have one, or else all houses would have been large from the get go at patch 2.1 and there would be no smalls or mediums.

And Stormpeaks is perfectly welcome to state that. Very strange that you can't seem to just get past it. You don't have to agree.

That's what I've been trying to make them understand since the beginning really, I have said multiple times in this thread alone that larges ARE a luxury, because they just are, it is just what it is and is pure fact, if a person denies it, they are in denial, they are extremely limited, they are scarce and they are exactly a luxury, instead of accepting that, they are attacking me because I got a large and I "lucked out", and I'm just like "really ?", basically according to that person, the second I claimed my large, I lost any right to an opinion about housing in general and the scarcity of it or the housing system, and it's wrong on so many levels.

I think that this thought could use a slight correction.

For many, it's not just RNG that got them what they want. It was also being willing to go to where the plots were available instead of insisting that the plots should be brought to them.

I don't have a large on Marilith because of luck. I have a large on Marilith because I chose to transfer an alt to where the large houses were available. There were no competitors for the plot I won.

Not know where Stormpeaks has all of their houses, especially any large, it's hard to say what the truth of their specific situation is. Being on Sagittarius, they may have moved there when the world opened and likewise got theirs without competition there due to the low population when housing opened.

Is luck a factor on the worlds where housing has already filled up and the population is greater than the number of plots? Yes. But planning and putting in that little bit of extra effort to take advantage of an opportunity can also play a factor.

If the opportunity was there for you (and it was there for all NA players a year ago) but you chose not to take advantage of it, that was your decision. Don't be dismissive of those who did take advantage of opportunity to get what they wanted just because you didn't choose to do likewise.

I agree with this as well, people refused to move to Dynamis, a lot of them, because they would lose their friends, FC's or whatever else, or even for some small houses that they have worked for, they missed on that chance, but a lot of people did and got their dream plots on Dynamis and are now very happy with it, people didnt take the chance, period, and now they are stuck in an infinite bidding process of constant losses, but the reality is, it was their decision, if they really wanted a house, they could have moved, there are a lot of ways to stay in contact with FC's and friends if you care about housing, DC travel being the biggest, discord and other communication apps, but DC travel is a thing, there wasnt really any excuse to not move if you REALLY wanted a large house.
