Because they’ve convinced themselves that the addition of housing means their content is going to get less attention. This is always what happens whenever new things get added. Delves come to the game and the key people start doomposting about delves “killing” m+. M+ comes to the game and the raiders start doomposting about it killing raiding. Housing comes any XYZ player posts tinfoil hat theories about the same thing, backing it up with nothing but “Hmph, it’s going to be dead and abandoned in a few months, because I don’t like it!”
It’s so childish. New features being successful is good for the overall health of the game, which affects us ALL. Players should be supportive of each other.
OP, I know this thread is not one of those. This isn’t directed at you.
