Selfish because I frankly don't like what SE has been doing lately? Sure, call me selfish I guess lol.

You're not seeing the whole picture here, you're just looking at how it affects you and complaining.
True, it was an oversight. Personal housing, IMO, should just have not been implemented to begin with :P Or if they were; didn't make it to compete with FCs. And yes, if all SE can do is just throw bandaids at a problem, then maybe they just shouldn't just.. implement it. Just like they shouldn't have added Viera/Hrothgar if it's "too hard to accomodate for their models". Sorry that's hard to hear for you lol.

Also, I never said to remove houses - like I said before, SE put themselves in this corner, it's too late to go back and remove houses at this point since it's such a grounded feature for many, many people. So either the solutions (in my mind is): to add more wards (lol), or instanced housing (also lol), two things which will either take about until 2025 for them to add, or for them to never add at all. So here we are.

Unfortunately the gameplay has to be balanced for a range of player skills, and as we've already seen by complaints that "solo duties are too hard", the lowest common denominator is sadly getting lower and lower. They have to keep everyone happy, which is an impossible task, because you can't keep everyone happy all the time. the best you can do when you have such a large consumer base is to keep some of the people happy some of the time.
The game has a range of content at different difficulties, making the base game any harder will alienate players, so if you want difficult content, you need to play the difficult content.
Yeah, that's just all about I had to hear from you to know that you're okay with SE's constant excuse upon excuse lol. When you can literally SIT there as a healer feeling like you have nothing to do or that you don't contribute to a party in any way that's not ultimate content, that's a problem. Telling people, who want to enjoy regular content with a bit more of an oomph to "just do ultimate", is not a good customer service response period. It is handwaving their concerns.
