So SE.. Hows your new wards working out?

[Vahlnir]

There's no reason to defend a system that will never work properly in the long term and what most Balmung players are actually asking for is not more wards, but for apartments to be improved upon, which is the most reasonable solution by far.

See, the thing is...people have been complaining about this in regards to the sheer size of the population there for a long, long time now. This is for the most part a player controlled problem that they continue to make worse for themselves by endlessly flocking to Balmung. So while I understand the frustration, I can't...and won't, feel bad for people who sit on Balmung complaining about not having a house when they chose that server to begin with or transferred there. Balmung dug its own hole. They can either come to terms with this and face up to their decision to stay, or start migrating off of there since there's still plenty of houses available across most servers. Is the housing system flawed? Oh yeah, there's no doubt about that. But this patch brought a good many houses to a large number of people with plenty to spare. Balmung is something that SE can't really fix no matter how hard they try. They need to lock it permanently if they're ever going to get a handle on the situation there.
