Really, SE? [on housing]

[Edeline]

For the sake of comparison. It demonstrates that the problem isn't exactly widespread. It's only a few servers that have a severe dearth of housing plots available. Nobody is asking any of you to move to other servers.

Yeah because posting that your specific server has free plots will magically make people from others servers, who don't, get free plots! Still has no purpose posting a couple of servers have free plots. The fact that some servers have free plots (coincidence that they're in the worst designed area, the goblet) doesn't mean full servers don't deserve the attention to get more. Making your posts, again, pointless.
I'm sorry if I sound mean or offensive, but posts like that are the ones showing that everything's fine and no new plots are needed (when they are) if they're truly monitoring feedback.

Now you're just being patronizing. Did I ever say that it would give those servers free plots? Did I ever say that I was against the full servers getting additional plots? Did any of us? No, no, and no. You said in a previous post that this is a problem that's "well known across all worlds" but that simply isn't the case. It's only a very few servers that are completely out of housing. Should they get more? Sure, why not? I don't have a problem with it, and I'm reasonably sure none of the other people on servers that still have housing available would have a problem with it either. Will SE add more housing to just certain servers? I don't know. None of us do. One would hope that they would find a way to do this at some point or another. I'd support it.

I don't see how providing more information about the issue is pointless. Attacking other posters, however, is.

You sound like you're basically spoiling for a fight. Nobody is saying that everything is fine, and anyone that thinks that is failing to see the big picture. Just because someone says there's housing available on one server doesn't mean there isn't a problem on other servers. There's no mutual exclusion there. My post said there's a total of 16 Small plots available on my entire server. That could be bought up relatively quickly (especially now that prices are down in the 2-3 million range, which is easy to get), leaving us in the same boat as a few others.

Considering that the new subdivisions have been available for some time now and anybody that wants a house (including frugal people who have waited for the houses to drop to minimum price) can still buy one because there is still open plots in the goblet on most servers that to me would say that they have reached saturation of housing.

It doesn't tell me that there's a saturation of housing, it tells me that the Goblet is an undesirable living space and Lavender a highly desirable one.

So many whining about the developers stem from people with poor reading comprehension.

Still, I laughed when they said that they think they have met house plot demand.

I think the problem is that, as usual, the translations leave room for misinterpretation. It's more that until this point they were still figuring out how to deal with the supply problem (i.e. how hard they could push the servers, etc.), but they think they've got that figured out now, so while they'll continue to add housing capacity going forward, they should also be able to re-evaluate the capabilities/utility of each house at some point soon (but after the team is done working on their current tasks).

There wasn't an intention to say that they've figured out the supply issue (as if the supply problem were solved, as they do say they'll keep adding capacity), but rather that they've figured out how they're going to deal with it going forward. (Although, as was pointed out, on many servers you might say the supply problem is solved. Right now the supply problem is specific to the super-popular servers given that they all have the same quantity.)
