Third step draw the results and watch as the majority of your player base is upset and anguished over losing while a handful of lucky players are happy and having a fun time enjoying content that the rest of us paying subers are locked out of...


Now for real check out my other post about how EVERY player in the game should have a house not just a handful of elites.

Constantly running full wards is a massive drain on system resources. The majority of resources for instanced houses are not being used if no players are there. Please leave the past behind and come to the present/future of gaming which is instanced gaming.
I think you are generalizing just a bit much.

I would hardly call it an "elitist housing system" lottery is pure RNG, unlike your opinion that a "majority" of the player base is upset over housing, everyone in mmo's knows rng basically sucks. thats a given. period.

I wouldnt call housing a "massive portion" of content either.

you dont need a house to play the game, as such, a large number, likely even the majority of players... dont care if it exists or not. as for "anguished".. please, if you are anguished over not getting a pixel house in a video game, you need to seek help. I am serious, its not something you need to lose your mind over. its pixels, you cannot actually live there and people who have one are not any more "elite" than you are. that is the way rng works, sometimes you are the windshield.. and sometimes you are the bug.
