Yeah my only real concern with the idoc stages being screwy is
@chargar42 post... some people will place over a house and condemn it so they can move from one house to another with out having to bank their items. This is a common practice among players that dont have multiple accounts or houses. When people do this they expect a certain amount of days to move safely. With decay stages fluctuating this is a very scary thing to do.
Today on Lake Austin I had a house that i purposely put into decay move from slightly worn to fairly worn totally skipping the somewhat stage. Granted im very OCD about my houses and items so it wasnt an issue as i was prepared for such game flaws. However people that have been practicing this method for years might not be so observant and it might be disastrous for them.
Im hoping that by monday when they are said to have fixed their shard shield issues that these idoc issues will just naturally be fixed along with that process.
