STRIKE UNTIL HOUSING IS FIXED!!

[HyoMinPark]

Yes, housing sucks. . . .Most of the salt on this forum is from people knowing all of this and still expecting to get a house when the reality was the odds were against you. The bottom line is, people's expectations were unreasonable and now they're pissed about it.

From what I’ve seen, I’ve seen more people angry that the servers themselves (newly “upgraded” NA servers, nonetheless) were unable to handle the traffic, and the launcher failing to even respond versus not getting a plot. A lot of people have said they wouldn’t be angry if they just hadn’t been fast enough getting to the plot; they’re saying they’re mad because the game itself literally prevented them from even having a chance. I don’t think people were expecting to get a house, but they were at least hoping for a chance to. There is a difference there.

I’m not surprised that they went fast. I’m just upset that these new servers SE supposedly got when they relocated the NA data centers couldn’t handle the traffic. It’s 2017. And the developers continue to cling to this Hunger Games-style housing system, even admidst the outrage over it from a lot of people.

So a strike isn't going to work, the experience your having isn't SEs fault, they have provided a housing service which everyone has equal rights to.

.

In theory, people have equal rights to housing. But, in reality, it all boils down to “who was lucky enough to land a lobby server error or unresponsive launcher at 3:01am PST” and “who was lucky enough to smoothly log in with only 100 people ahead of them in queue”.


I do agree that I don’t think a Mogstation strike is going to make a difference. Because if something comes out that people really want, they’ll probably buy it anyways. Really the only thing that would get SE’s attention would be a mass exodus of subscribers, but even that is unlikely to happen. Sadly, being disappointed with them and their housing system design choices just isn’t enough to prompt any sort of change...
