For reference, that is the post in the screen shot.
I honestly don't know as I wasn't around at the time it was made.
From what's written there, I would guess two things:
1. That is the desired effect of the PvP protection on houses: it will only work for the owner. The definitive answer makes me think ardesia was told this specifically.
2. There is no timeframe stated. This could be implemented at any time. It is the eventual goal, but it may not happen right away.
You should keep in mind, programming is a funny thing.
Sometimes, the simplest concepts are the most difficult to program.
Also, the game is not a small bit of code. Some changes need to be looked at in multiple places, and to be effective, you need to compensate for every possible occurrence.
This bit of code could depend on other bits to be completed first.
As far as priorities in the code goes, I would not rank this one high myself.
I do know, compbatant was working on some important things last I heard (I'm out of that loop now though).
As stated just a couple posts ago, there is no "magical solution" that makes everyone happy.
Want to test that?
Make a post, and go around in the game.
Ask every player what the top thing is they'd like to change in the game. If you're ambitious, go for the top 5.
Good luck getting everyone on the forum. Good luck recording every name and idea (as some think that's what GMs should be doing - collecting feedback reports).
Talk to as many players as you can, and compile a list. Let everyone know how many ideas you get.
I lost count (and stopped trying to count) long ago.
