Not at all.
Rotations are pretty much like constantly playing a little dice game, like how you played in RPG books way long ago.
I get my crits and loots if I win at that little lottery type game : that's fair.

Housing is content - even more, since it actually gives you access to other content unaccessible otherwise (gardening, airship...).
It is not available, not because I cannot overcome the difficulty, but because I am told it is out of stock... even though it is highly promoted.

I do not see how luck is involved in this...
Why couldn't I login in time to get a house ?
- slow download -> about a hour to download the 1.7 GB patch
- client version check bug -> hopefully reddit had a fix... wait reddit, not SE ?!!
And I never said that unlocking a dungeon should automatically earn me my loots :s
People in here have a funny way of reinterpretating other people's toughts :/
The barrier in PVE is difficulty, isn't that clear enough ?

You cannot compare the housing and looting systems as they have nothing in common in anyway I could think of...
"Luck" and RNG has absolutely nothing to do with housing... In gardening, looting, damage dealing, OK, but housing ?!!!
You're not making any point honestly...
