and again.. we don't know. I personally am aware everyone who wants a house isn't going to get one if they add a limited amount of wards. I get that part very well. Who knows what they've been working on. Maybe they've been working towards instanced housing this whole time and shirogane was just another bandaid to keep people "happy" and it failed miserably and now they have decided to push up infini-housing to 4.2 and some poor team of devs is now on crunch time because everyone lost their minds?
again.. speculation.
negative or positive? Wait and see. Condemning without actually knowing what they're doing seems a bit overkill.
