Support for FCFS housing in 6.1

[Jojoya]

I don't know what got you to think I'm spreading any false information but I'm giving you a peculiar annoyed look for it, especially since you didn't bother quoting the later posts I made.

I didn't say "false information". I said "false hope".

We may not have been given enough information yet to know what it will be but we have been given enough information to know what it is not - player housing.

As for quoting your later posts, why would I? Other than a brief repeat of you hoping that Island Sanctuary might be a housing solution (no need to quote a rephrasing of something you already said), none of it was relevant to Island Sanctuary versus housing.

I have NEVER said that people would be happy or satisfied with the Lottery. All I have said is that it is the only option we have at the moment if we want a truly fair system. Please refrain from trying to put words into my mouth. As for Divinemights, that person's insistence on claiming that there is "no fair system" is frankly not true (Lottery IS fair) and the continued advocacy for FCFS which is KNOWN to be problematic for a lot of the players is rather suspect. Your claims of me being naive and there being truth in what Divinemights has said (other than the fact that there WILL be unhappy people after the dust has settled) are therefore rather odd. Adding in FCFS would only make a bad situation worse. The real solution to this problem is adding enough housing to meet the demand.

Then why call Divinemights delusional for stating something you acknowledge will happen?

The lottery is not a fair system. Would you truly consider it fair if someone who has been playing the game for 4 years and actively trying to get a house for the last 3.5 years still doesn't get one while someone who just started playing the game 3 weeks ago and doesn't really have a clue about housing other than a friend says "get a house" manages to get one? That doesn't sound particularly fair to me.

Being more fair in comparison doesn't mean the system is fair. The only fair system when it comes to housing would be a system that guarantees every player gets the house of their choice, and if one player is able to own multiple houses then every player gets to own multiple houses. Anything less than that and the system is not fair.
