Open plea to the Devs

the lack of gardening can prevent players from crafting to it's fullest extent..

Sorry but that's a bunch of BS. No crafter needs to be able to garden to craft any item. The marketboard exists for a reason - so players can buy/sell items that one has and the other needs.

Lack of gardening only means lack of self-sufficiency and that's actually bad in a MMORPG where player interaction is part of the experience.

Still, SE needs to do something about the housing situation so every player can have access to all housing features as long as they meet the stated requirements to purchase.

Maybe not but it’s the result of their bad design nonetheless, the lotto thing didn’t come out of the sky just like that. It’s because they’re trying to fix a bad system implemented on top of another one to fix an original design that was giving a lot of ground to RMT and shady deals. Still happen today and will happen tomorrow because this camp’n’spam method will still be there along with house trading.

The lottery does not fix anything. It just shuffles the problem around. All it does is guarantee that player to player house sales will be rely more heavily on transfer of FC leadership.
