We haven't become enlightened to the amazing benefits that we were blind to, our standards have just dropped because there's been no progress for about 18 months now.

This system is just as bad now as it was then, people have just lost confidence that SE can do any better.
They did wise up, chances are people that denied it at 1st had no idea how servers and server load works, they probably thought "oh, they will make many more plots" then they discovered it dosn't work that way, and now to many people want housing and there is no where near enough, SO unless someone can come up with a better solution that doesn't involve "just make more plots" here we are.
