Today was the first time I ever thought about canceling my sub and not looking back. Me and my FC, a small group of my friends, saved up enough money for each of us to buy a Large house. Don't get me wrong, we didn't WANT 4 mansions. We wanted each of us to have 45m to maximize our chances of getting one. I'm nocturnal, and the other 3 set alarms to wake up in time for it.

We didn't get defeated by someone who ran faster.
We didn't get defeated by the queue.
We didn't get defeated by "unable to complete housing action."

What did we get defeated by? A piece of garbage launcher that completely broke at 2:58 AM PDT, and didn't work until 3:03 AM.

Do yourselves a favor and don't even advertise or hype up your housing in the future, SE. It's a disgusting system that encourages so much negativity, so much direct competition, and the slap in the face is that your server load can't even handle the demand that is created by having so little amounts.

Please look at how other MMOs handle housing.
