I'm using that to say it may be more complex or implemented a different way than any of us with coding experience might predict and since we aren't the ones working with their code, maybe cut them a little slack.
They're not getting any slack from me. This was one of the first things they announced for ew. It was one of the things I was looking forward to the most, to finally getting my fc a med. End result? I lose to 0. If it was a person, I can say, “fuck”, but move on. Losing because one of the most famous video game companies in Japan, nay the world, don't know how to test for bugs is not a good feeling. They announced ishgard housing like a year ago now, you're telling me they couldn't work out the kinks in that time? Shoddy workmanship. I pay for product, I like product to work. I'm a traditionalist in that sense.

If in the followup statement when they fix it (if they can fix it) and they use the same excuse of blaming 1.0 spaghetti code, me and many players are gonna lose it. To a layman like me, if you can't manage a simple lottery system, you are incompetent. This isn't rocket science. Lotteries have been held since time immemorial. Gachas are literally just lotteries, square enix has lot of gachas, lotteries isnt new to them or this field. This kind of a mess up is embarrassing.
