I have to agree with most of the things K'nahli said. The way people are handling this matter is sounding kinda malicious and out of proportion, as they seem to be doing efforts to *try* to discredit SE. This is reinforced when I even see people who no longer play FFXIV (because they don't like it), complaining that they can't have a house now.
This is what I see when I look at the situation:
-Yoshida said we'd get personal houses. We did.
-He said he'd add more. 2.4 will deliver more.
-Kage pointed out that Yoshida's working on finding the way to add as many houses as possible, which means he's aware of the demand.
-Prices are also going down, so they shouldn't be a problem in the future.
Now, I'm genuinely lost here, so please excuse the obscene amount of questions. Where did he lie? Did he simply not meet the personal expectations some people created on their own? Is it about people wanting brand new maps and getting the old ones instead? How is that even a big deal if we can still have houses in such beautiful neighbourhoods? Where did he even promise that such a thing would be definitely delivered? In case he did, who says we aren't getting that in the future, considering that the housing system isn't half done yet? Or is this about the *current* lack of wards, completely ignoring the fact we'll get more and that they're working on ways to add even more?
I'm genuinely lost as to where all this strong anger and complete lack of hope is coming from. What's more, in case Yoshida limits himself to simply add thousands of new houses and there are *still* players who can't get them, this is still how most MMORPGs with housing system work. Aion has limited space. Archeage has limited space. Black Desert has had limited space so far. The other games I've played don't even have house system. I don't know how Wildstar works, but if houses are completely instanced, then I personally wouldn't like them (and if they're not, the few screenshots I've seen weren't of my liking either). So it always will come down to personal preference.
People who are feeling strongly against the current system, even when they're told that the currenty system isn't final, are free to leave. I personally will be enoying my house when it's released, and I have no reasons to think it won't be @_@
