Hmm.Â
I think it's up to us at this point. Square has plotted out the lay of the land, and we have a clear picture of how things are going to be. So!Â
Players can decide to risk the grind and rush, knowing fully well that they may not necessarily get what they're working for. All in the concept of risk, really!Â
Players can give up and seek other things in the game -- because wow there's a lot!Â
Players can also give up and seek out the housing they want that seems 'standard' in every other MMO, in other MMOS with 'better business models', run by devs who don't 'lie'* to them. As consumers, they have that power -- if it's not satisfying, look elsewhere. To continue to consume something so allegedly unsatisfactory really makes all points made against it background noise. Sure, you have the choice to consume, always! But uh...if there's really much better else out there...?
I think everyone's arguments have merit. I agree with a lot, I disagree with some, and learned a thing or two. I know though, that I'm pretty bloody happy enough with the game to risk the grind and rush, AND still play if I don't succeed, because I'm just that satisfied with everything else. I wouldn't play with something I was dissatisfied with at all. But that's just me!
The thing is, we've seen how it's going to be. They've laid out their intentions, and I hope they learned now that a failure to constantly update can be vehemently percieved as a lie*, malicious or otherwise. Points are flying around and argument is in full swing and going in a couple circles. But! What's everyone going to do? When the dust settles on this thread, how does each player intend to treat the situation?
Dissect as necessary, but in the end, you still gotta decide how to go forward.
*saying something and not updating the outdated information, whether by forgetfulness or folly
