How much dev time is spent on housing?

[Renalt]

I look at the new furniture, ginger bread walls, and all the other stuff they add and wonder why they put so much effort into it.

Not complaining. Love it. Love the variety and overall quality of housing decorations. Can always use more but at the same time...

Who is this all for? What percentage of players own houses? Take all the housing on every server. Are their more plots than total Viera and Hrothgar players? Why isn't that same care and effort put into actual playable races that ALL players can engage with if they choose. I don't have to enter a lottery for a chance to play Viera. Can apply this to all races really.

In general it seems housing customization is quickly outpacing character customization and that does not make sense.

Housing seems to be the largest issue so they at least want people to have options for whenever the issue is fixed?

I dunno. I got big, dumb brain. Unga Bunga smash is all I know.
