Thread: Please delay the release of patch 6.1

I just have a couple more alts to level so it would be nice if the devs can please delay 6.1 for another 30 days in order to get my 3 alts for my solo fc so I can finish buying out the whole ward.

Most people who planned to do this for all 7 alts created and ready a month ago anyway while people praising this delusional new system. Only took me 7 hours to create a lvl 50 character at 2nd lieutenant while watching movie

Define what's delusional in this system. Sure, it's still RNG, but you're not clogging up the server trying to accept a digital plot this way either like you do in FCFS. It's a fair system for all involved, but in regards to alts, you're mostly going to have only a million gil after ARR is all said and done, with much more if you go on all the way to Lv 90. It'll take more than 7 hours to accumulate enough wealth for a Large, so to speak. If gil farms start botting in a particular way, we'll more than likely notice since in general they make characters and cheat their way through the game to get gil fast; fast enough to buy a house. Getting a Lv 90 character could yield up to 3M gil nearly, I would think with how things are right now.

People like Divinemights like to toss around this term "delusional" without putting forth any kind of rationale, sensible or otherwise, for making such claims. I am beginning to suspect that this person and others have a problem in that they are conflating process and outcome. The Lottery is inherently fair but it will not result in a happy outcome for all. It can't. The only way to make everyone happy is to make enough housing available that it would meet all demands. We now know from the recent news posted on an official site that FCs and individuals will not be allowed to compete with each other so individuals will be safeguarded against FCs using brute force tactics to overwhelm individuals. As for FC vs FC, there is some unfairness built in but that is not because of the Lottery. It is because of a conscious decision by SE to favor large FCs over smaller ones.
