Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

No, it's not entitlement for anyone who has 50m to have access to a large house.

It IS entitlement if you think you deserve it over other people.

You aren't given every job at max level, etc, but you have every opportunity to do that;

Correct. Just as you have the opportunity to enter the lottery and get a house. Same thing. Notice I didn't JUST say every Job at max level. I included mounts, minions, and so on, many of which are dictated by RNG. You could run Dead Ends 10,000 times and never get that stupid bird minion to drop. You have the opportunity to engage with the content. Some content is guaranteed if you just continue with effort (e.g. leveling a Job), some is based on effort and luck (e.g. winning a drop mount, minion, etc), and some is pure luck (e.g. housing and many minions and some mounts, etc)

and you're arguing no one should be complaining about it because they have access to smalls; which is horseshit lol

No, it's a valid argument. Something I've seen from your...I'll charitably call them "arguments"...here is that you don't have many, and have a lot of bad ones. One of your "arguments" was to reply to someone with "Wrong". No explanation, no actual argument or rebuttal. You want something. You're mad you didn't get that thing. And you're taking it out on anyone and everyone who doesn't support you getting that thing.

Things aren't "horseshit" because you say they are. You just don't want anything other than a specific thing and won't accept anything less. That is entitlement. Sorry, life doesn't give you the top thing you want because you just want it.

The previous system actually did facilitate a process of owning and upgrading a house,

Not for most people. It was a lucky few and an arguably MORE arbitrary method than this one - if you happened to hit the placard after the random timer for it to be on sale activated and were the first person to do it. Moreover, it was a case of "the rich get richer" as those who already had a house had an unfair advantage to get an even bigger house than people who didn't have a house had to get any house.

The prior system was both subjectively and objectively worse by almost every metric, as many people in this thread have said and you just don't want to hear because you have a delusion that if you were clicking a placard right now you'd get lucky and get what you want.

EDIT:

Anyway, I see no reason to engage with you further. You can be irrational and angry if you want to be. But that doesn't make you correct nor give your arguments any more weight. You're upset and lashing out, and so logic can't reach you, so I won't bother trying anymore.
