So devs don't understand math.

It's been literally one lottery cycle. One buggy cycle that took up a month of their time trying to correct. Maybe give them half a minute to adjust ward restrictions.

I mean, it's never going to be enough to satisfy everyone wanting personals anyway. But damn this is incredibly impatient.

The unfortunate thing about the timing you mentioned is that one month allowed shell FCs created with the new system to start purchasing FC ward homes. Hence, the urgency. Square paused bidding for everyone during the month that was supposed to act as a buffer zone/precaution against these shell FCs, and if SE doesn't do something soon, then it won't matter if former fc wards become individual wards because they'll all be taken by shell FCs anyway. This problem will compound with the next lottery cycle.
A month is also a long time to look at something and realize it doesn't work, especially when FC wards sat empty for a month not because of the 0 glitch, but because there just wasn't demand on like 90% of the plots.
