Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

[Joven]

Anyone who takes the addition to instanced housing alongside the ward system as a personal offense is weird and unnatural and their opinion should be discarded, just like the opinions of housing traders and RMTers. If you're going to argue that it's unfair for the people who suffered through the ward system, then I've got bad news for you about placard spamming and the people who were trying to relocate to larger houses.
Also, by definition, the scarcity and the fact that plots fill up means there is no opportunity. That's the point. That's the attitude people should have. For some reason you're arguing for them to do less.

Who said I'm taking the idea of instanced housing as a personal offence? You seem to be the one taking offence to literally everything anyone suggests to the contrary. No oportunities? Houses come open all the time due to the demo timer and people leaving the game or just giving up their plots in general. Just because you're too impatient doesn't mean the oportunities aren't there.

Yours is the tired argument. Their resources don't have to be unlimited to do more than be shady and cheap, they already cut corners in dozens of other areas of the game, the game isn't in financial dire straits with everything at risk of collapsing. They can do more, and them "throwing money at it" is a simpleton's reductive way of putting it. No one in this thread has even once pointed out why this is actually 100% a technical limitation of the game. On the other hand, I've pointed out why it's possible, because the feature is already there and it just sucks. If, in actuality, it was a problem, I could theoretically just give thousands of people 600k to buy an FC apartment and a regular apartment, and crash the game for everyone, everywhere. If that's not the problem, it's the decorations, which this approach would put above 400 per player per instance.

If you aren't arguing that, then logically you're arguing they added something into the game they knew little to nobody would want because of how much it sucks and is totally inadequate. So, how about no?

You don't know what their limitations are or are not so all you're doing is getting angry at all the wrong people here just because you aren't getting what you want.

What must be done? What the hell are you talking about? Didn't you just say it's impossible? Am I talking to two people, or one? Maybe you're like a figment of my imagination or something and I'm talking to myself, because this is literally what I'm suggesting. I'm not entirely sure why you haven't picked that up.

Where did I say it was impossible? Where? Give me the exact quote. I said unless they're willing to do what must be done and piss off a lot of people. By which I mean they need to limit houses to 2 per account. 1 personal and 1 FC and allow players to sell the houses they don't want. They can limit that by making where they can't charge more than market value.

And who's fault is that? Maybe the people who designed it? If you have anyone else to blame, or you're answer is "no one" you've got a weird take. That's at least partially why it's their responsibility to fix it in a way that doesn't make it just suck for slightly less people, akin to the way they've been doing it by adding a few wards every 6 months.

It certainly isn't my fault so getting pissy with me solves nothing. So take that attitude and shove it somewhere unpleasant.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice if you think discussing or critiquing a game is "screaming into a void." They sorely need to hear the feedback whether you want to be a contrarian about it or not.

This has been an ongoing problem since housing was introduced. They gave everyone the lotto system they wanted and now people are complaining about that. Your "feedback" is nothing new and has been reitterated for years.
