Unfortunately, in this instance, I do not believe the GM even knew what the problem (what kept everyone from just leaving) is or was. They didn't have the power to do anything about the housing keeping them locked issue (I'm at work but I've read a few things here or there about what usual powers GMs have and don't have.) but they really should have dealt with the issue involved with the FC leader griefing people.
Tiergan, with Tiergan's FC help, was only able to recreate the issue in a -very specific- circumstance. Guest Access to the Estate must be turned off. The GMs, most likely as most of us didn't know, that people couldn't remove furnishings if they have 0 privileges, No Estate Hall Access -AND- Guests cannot enter the estate.
Okay, but, it's been known for literally months that an FC Leader could do this. Â If they lock you out of the house, you can't reclaim your shit, if you can't reclaim your shit, you can't demolish your room. Â If you can't demolish your room, you can't leave the FC. Â This was known literally on day 1 of the patch that implemented private rooms in FC houses.
The idea that a GM - a freaking Game Master - could simply be unaware that this was possible is, quite frankly, inexcusable. Â Do they not play the same game that we play? Â Are they stupid? Â Is support composed of three baboons sitting around playing with their own feces? Â How in god's name could they just not know? Â I mean, unless support is composed of blithering idiots?
Edited to Add: I think it's a hell of a lot more likely that support simply doesn't have a tool built into their client that would allow them to take control of the FC and rectify the situation. Â Either that, or they're falling back on the old idea that the FC Leader literally owns the FC and everyone and everything within the house. Â But that would be dumb.
I'm going with "they don't play the game", but that's because I'm generally convinced that game developers, distributors, support staff, etc, don't play the games they make/sell/service. There's just too many layers of false promises, awkward design, glaring yet unsolved bugs, and general incompetence throughout the industry for me to have any other conclusion.
