Housing is honestly the LOWEST priority of things this game needs, not the highest, yet it gets so much undue attention even though much of the community doesn't engage with it. And as much as you can say "that's because there aren't enough houses!"; no, many players just don't care at all about housing. And there are many other things that affect us all, so it would be better to address those things first anyway since they would reach far more people and probably be less costly in terms of development time and potential server instability issues.
I sincerely hope you are just stating a series of opinions because if not, you need to re-evaluate your thinking as you are making a LOT of foolish assumptions. Houses are a high priority for a great many people in the game. Just because they are not YOUR priority does not make it factual for everyone. Stating your claim as if it were a fact seems mightily selfish and presumptuous. A look at the data for Lottery participation would indicate that houses are important for a great many people. On my server alone, that number is in the thousands. As for your Eureka/Bozja, I have no interest in that and I know a lot of other people who feel likewise, yet we are not coming on to the forums to make claims that it should all be shut down. In fact I would argue that if it is content that entertains even a modest number of people, everyone should be sticking up for it. Content should be added, not removed, in order to satisfy a diverse population of players. I have no immediate interest in Island Sanctuaries, for example, but I am glad it is being put into the game. Who knows? I might even try it out at some point. So please, either clarify that your statements are simply your opinions or, if not, keep your proclamations to yourself. They are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
