Why Housing Was Doomed To Fail

[SlickPaws]

For those saying, stop crying, you wanted this, no, they didn't. Players did not ask for such a low supply of personal housing. They wanted a chance to own a house and didn't want to spend 4-5 hours at a time clicking a sign. Going from the world's worse system to this is NOT better. Your odds are still just as bad going forward.

We also wanted Square to double-check their code and not allow for jank like the lottery rolling a 0. Missed out on upgrading my FC house when I was the *only* participant on the plot I wanted. Went from being a sure thing with 100% chance of me getting it to a coin-toss based on some broken code. 6.1 has turned out to be an absolute mess between changes nobody asked for, a janky lottery system that doesn't work as intended, visual bugs and glitches up the wazoo and no real end in sight beyond "we're sorry for your inconvenience." I've been playing for years and I've never seen any mid-expansion patch have such a negative effect before, but I suppose there has to be a first time for everything. My only hope is that the devs can sack up and deliver the fixes pretty soon because the way things are going, I don't think I'm going to renew my sub when the time comes.

Yeah, when talking about my grievances with the system, I wanted to focus on the housing system as a whole. The bug indeed does suck, but it wouldn't technically have been an issue if there was supply. That being said, I hope you get your house!
