Thank you all! Again! :)

<p>I just seen the 2 new paintings and the 10 artisan made tiles.  New paintings, tiles, dividers, house ratings, signs.. so much to decorate, so little time!</p><p><img src="http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y323/EQ2-Jaylah/images.jpg" width="255" height="197" /></p>

<p>So much of a waste of development time if you ask me.</p>

<p>Why is it that you felt the need to derail my thank you thread with that?  I appreciate that certain aspects of the game aren't for you, but more people than you play this game.  It's in SOE's best interest as a company to keep us all entertained. </p>

Steppen seems to have no clue how rich this game really is - there is so much more to it than just running instances and killing Mob and all what goes with it. The Housing is also one of the parts of the game that sets EQ2 apart from most of the 'other games'. So yes, thank you SOE for working hard on this part too. </p><p>F.</p>

<p>There are plenty of housing issues that take months to fix.  The Lozi shell reward sat at a 90degree angle on the wall since launch, and either was just recently fixed, or is soon to be patched.</p><p>Maybe you can see my point:  You don't see housing people crashing your threads with their disdain for "wasted dev time", so why do you feel it's appropriate to crash theirs?</p><p>Edit: Sorry for assisting Steppen in hijacking your thread, Senya. That's the last from me here.</p>
