Role-players really are their own worst enemy and it's very telling that I can have this exact same discussion on a site like MMO-Champion yet the community and individuals here that love to market themselves as 'friendly and welcoming' can't stop sniping at each other.
(This was clarified for me by Warren but I'll leave it here since it expresses a point nonetheless. Sorry for the confusion)
Was this directed towards me? I made my post at work so I had to rush it a little and if I came off a certain way(negatively, that is) then that was not my intent. I am not trying to deny anyone's right to be angry or voice their complaints. My only stance on it is that I disagree with how many people are treating it as though Yoshi knew exactly what he was doing and what was going to happen when in reality that makes no sense at all. Again, he could have handled it better, but everything is always clearer in hindsight and I have yet to hear a compelling argument that can even make me consider the idea that he was trying to pull a fast one on us.

It's not necessarily unreasonable, but that would certainly make him stupid. Anyone can look at the trend in MMOs today and see that personal housing is extremely important to the playerbase.
I didn't mean on a permanent basis but to assume that going the route he did was perfectly fine as a starting point because, despite what some people say, I think he had an extremely valid point. Regardless of how anyone feels about empty FCs, that's just (clearly much-needed) server space going to a complete waste.
Lets not forget that we're a community all socialising with one another, sharing ideas and anticipations about upcoming content that can easily be read into as fact over lengthy periods of time like the one we had leading up to it's implementation... all because a certain aspect wasn't detailed or mentioned previously, whether Yoshi neglected to think of it or simply overlooked it as something that required addressing.
I can only speculate of course but the malicious, conspiracy theories(as they almost sound) are just completely unfounded in my opinion. I really like Yoshi and I want to believe that he would "do no wrong", but that doesn't mean that I will make excuses for him or blindly defend him either. I am only doing so because it seems the only reasonable route to me.
I know I might receive flak for this and might get mocked in a sense, but it's the wording that is throwing me a little bit. There is a big difference between "feeling" that you have been lied to and genuinely having being lied to. I know Yoshi won't ever read this but I think it's only courtesy to not accuse anyone of anything without true merit; it's very unfair to the man in my opinion.
