Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

You pay $15 a month, that doesn't mean you're given every Job at max level, every mount, minion, emote, armor set, etc.

It's entitlement if you think you should be given things over other people just because you think you're more worth it, yes. That's quite possibly one of the better definitions for entitlement. Those other people pay their $15/month, too. Why should you get it and not them?

No, it's not entitlement for anyone who has 50m to have access to a large house.

You aren't given every job at max level, etc, but you have every opportunity to do that; it isn't the same case with this facet of the game, which you do infact pay for, and you're arguing no one should be complaining about it because they have access to smalls; which is horseshit. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that it was at all equivalent because in terms of what a player can do, no one can step on your shoes and stop you from getting to cap by being world first.

The previous system actually did facilitate a process of owning and upgrading a house, and you had opportunities to get one even if you didnt just "get lucky." Owning a small and then relocating opens up a small plot, the net land remains at 0. Getting a small was getting your foot in the door. It's better than lottery to some but they are both dogshit. It was also in its own way, entitlement to change it to lottery when people prepared to own larger houses by first getting smalls. Just because they changed the rules doesn't mean it was fair to them either

On the other hand, Square Enix can do nothing for you or anyone else for 15$ a month, and you'll defend them on forums from people who are dissatisfied with this absolute mess of a housing system; so I figured maybe I could get a piece of the pie and buy some eggs or something

also the funny part is you can also just buy level and quest skips from the cash shop so you can actually just brute force your way through it with money
(just like you can abuse the lottery system by bidding multiple times on one plot via FC, very gracefully crushing any personal buyers like the RMTers on dynamis)
