I don't think they're contradicting at all. I work, other people work. We might be able to log on and house hunt in that 10 day period and play a bit. But if you shortened the lottery period like people have suggested it just benefits the unemployed as the old system did. And for house demo it still stands true that if you don't log in for well over a month and do something with your house then yeah you probably don't need it anymore. I've kept six houses for years now without issue. I can go abroad on holiday and come back to my house still being there, I can take a pretty long break and my house is still there. If someone has health issues or other life circumstances that prevent them keeping their house it sucks but it is what it is, others are waiting for a chance at the house too. And the emotional blackmail some like to throw around for having that stance frankly means nothing to me, nor should it be worth anything to SE.
There's nothing unfair about the lotto imo, I got houses under both systems and it is far more preferable than wasting my life clicking on a placard. And there were no shortage of people who just cheated and got a house with an autoclicker, hell I even reported someone dumb enough to stream themselves doing it. And nothing happened to them. Lotto is much nicer, go bid on the thing and come back later. FC's being able to put more bids in makes sense, means that a larger fc can get a better shot at a bigger house and thus the house serves more people.
I was keen enough on housing to make and level alts on the other servers to get my houses there. I don't feel much for people who refuse to move and get a house that is sat waiting for an occupant because they wanna RP on a certain server and god forbid they need to server hop to do it.
Lastly idk what the obsession is with solowing but move on, I've seen you make attacks on them and another person. I've seen you try going the holier than thou road of blocking them but clearly you don't have the self control to stop yourself reading and responding to their comments anyway. Either engage with them or don't. From what I have seen of them over the years, they literally just state the system as it is and mention that they actually enjoy the ward system. And actually I do too, esp having now experienced housing in GW2 where it is very hard to get others to see your home. Nobody can chance upon your house in that game. It actually really sucks, being able to roam wards and explore peoples houses is really nice in this game and I wouldn't want to see it gone. Esp now we will get that housing mirage in future to make effectively all small houses mansions, I see no reason even for instanced housing at this point now I think on it more. I just want our item limit greatly expanded and the ability to further tailor the layout inside the house.
Have your opinion, they have theirs. You don't agree, it's fine. You can each think the others opinion is wrong. That's also fine. Stop trying to play victim for someone disagreeing with you.
