It doesnt matter who is right or wrong, or what was intended for the housing system to work, its a korean mmo after all, or japanesse, wth knows. but the main issue is: the land drama kills the server no matter who is right or wrong, and in the end, all of you will be left with couple of people who agree to the land issues and everyone else gone, it was never intended for people to own so many lands per person just to sell them off, the fact that the devs made a mistake and never corected it, since it was no issue with it in the koreans server doesnt mean its a part core of the game, look at aion for example, the "weaving issue", where you simply said, add one auto attack between skill uses, and u increase ur dps by a ton, now everyone thinks, weaving is part of melees skills in dps, which is where they are wrong, its basically a deep bug in the combat system that was never corected and people took advantage of, and due to the said weaving my templar tank was always able to pull off the most insane dps(top50 of people on sv) while tanking most of the endgame content as a main tank, due to this issues, no one wants magic dps-ers in partyes, they only want melees
that being said, i hope you see how some issues affect the game, apart from whos right or wrong, because the fact still remains that no matter who is right or wrong, wont stop the game population from decreasing each day, even at the current time, and here you can ask the gm's to post some stats, poeple are leaving, slowly
