Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

You said it right here.:



No one has any right to be pissed off at the addition of instanced housing so everyone can participate.

"He said 'piss off a lot of people who already own houses' and since he has a house he's obviously refering to himself as well." Uh, no.

I meant those who already have several houses ie: more than 2, but I shouldn't have to explain that. (I only have 2 FYI)

Because more wards is a stupid idea. Also no, they don't. Do you even play this game?

So if plots never come available, like, at all, then what good is even the lottery system? Of course last I checked there were several open plots on the data center I'm on, but I've heard that idea was too much for some people. Unhinged even.

I know what their limitations are based on what already exists in the game whilst the server functions normally.

So that makes you an expert on how their backend works and what loads their servers can and cannot handle during what events? Ok.

"Throwing money," which again, is a reductive and disingenously simple way of saying "pay people who develop the game to create a solution."

It's almost as if resources, ie: time investment, hardware necessities and the such costs money. People certainly aren't going to do it for free. And before you say "they're already paid to do it", they're paid to make the game playable. The game is playable. Everything else takes extra effort which means more resources which means more money.

Sounds violent, like something someone unhinged would say. I never blamed you. I was giving you a thought exercise and pointing out how obviously shitty they've handled it.

You were replying to this:

What I offered wasn't meant to be the perfect solution, just a potential, active idea for those interested. Is it great? No, but neither is the situation at hand.

and started with "And who's fault is that?" After randomly and falsely accusing me of taking the idea of instanced housing personally how else is that to be taken?

They gave everyone the lotto system as a sweeping change because they were too lazy to do anything better. This was the path of least resistance. I'm complaining about it so they address it.

As I've said, everything you're saying here has been said almost ad infinitum for as long as housing has been in the game. They're already aware of it. If they were going to address it they already would have.
