Housing update 3 is up.

Careful, he'll say you go around to all threads he posts in 'attacking' him because you want to get high off 'righteous indignation'! Or something equally inane.

Anyway: to that one poster mentioning "lol none of the complainers show up now that things are answered" - here I am, a 'filthy complainer', saying I'm appreciative of the communication and attempts to fix the issue.

I'm also here to say it never should have occurred in the first place. QA testing should have caught this issue early on before it ever went live. Their looking into the issue also does not negate the plethora of issues that have been going on for years untouched, nor the poor response to players being understandably upset by various issues since EW's release.

I don't really know what you expect of people who are dissatisfied and unhappy with all of these issues (not just housing) to do? Throw ourselves on the ground going "oh thank you based Yoshi-P for saving the lotto system! thank you for fixing one singular issue! Thank you for acknowledging a problem exists and not sweeping it under the rug like so many others"? Most are probably appreciative of the notice and the fact they are going to endeavor to not just fix the issue but reimburse people who should have fairly won a house but didn't. But them fixing one singular issue doesn't exactly negate the existence of all other issues, nor is enough for people to forget about them.

QA doesn't catch everything.

I work for one of the US' biggest telecoms. They ran extensive tests and certified a version of firmware for the NICs used on a server platform. Thousands of servers effected (physical, not VMs). This certified version randomly sees an active link as down, and the only resolution is a hard power reset. It didn't get found during certification because it's completely random and while the issue is frequent, it wasn't discovered during the certification process.

No QA system will ever find every bug. It's not possible or feasible.

SE at least, owns up to their mistakes (or at least the XIV devs do). It's why there is such goodwill.

You can point to all the negative threads here all you want, but generally speaking, they are all made by the same smallish group who all agree with each other. They made their own little echo chamber and anyone who disagrees is "white knighting".

They are just as bad, if not worse, than those who say SE makes no mistakes lol.
