Huh? Elaborate, because people complaining about horrendous server problems (the Great Error Singularity of launch) or being unable to beat Titan Hard Mode are not in any way, shape, or form similar to SE failing - through deliberate or unintended stupidity - to take into account how much MMO players love housing systems these days.
It's also worth noting that businesses are generally expected to be very up to date with trends and what their rivals are doing. This is why many MMO's are accused of 'copying' each other - if a particular feature is highly praised in one MMO then there's a good chance it'll be incorporated in a similar manner in another MMO.Â
So it's perfectly reasonable for players to assume that solo housing would be accessible, especially given that there was no elaboration or indication to outline that it wouldn't be.
I'm also baffled by the solution of 'just wait a year' being put forth. That...isn't really a solution but rather a sly means of trying to get people to shut up and not discuss what is blatantly an issue that divides the community. It's particularly ironic when people have already been waiting months and months for individual housing to be implemented only to be disappointed.
If you're willing to be patient and accept things as they are now, that's fine - but there is absolutely no reason for certain people to be stifling all forms of constructive criticism in the way in which they are currently.
