Can we just have a random drawing in Gold Saucer for housing purchase rights?

Yeah, no. ESO prices are a heck no from me. I would never pay 100 bucks or close to for a house in a game, nor 40 dollars for a mount.

This would be like putting a band-aid over a shotgun wound. While the housing in FFXIV leaves much to be desired, this is by no means a solution to it. Believe me, I get how painful it is getting a house, I waited over 15 hours at one plot in Shiro only for it to get sniped by someone when i went to use the bathroom. Thankfully i managed to grab another one just by random luck, and while obviously this sounds terrible OP's solution is by no means the answer to it.

I agree, but if they are going to expand housing wards, which naturally causes everyone to remember there is housing and thus cause the drama, they should at least be fair about how the new houses get sold out. The current system is just a bot paradise that favors some 'not-so-healthy' behavior from real players as well. The truth is they shouldn't be expanding housing wards at all, since it's drawing attention to the broken housing system and introducing people to how bad it really is for personal housing. The only two right answers to the situation is to walk away from the housing and just let it die, or do the gold saucer thing at the very minimum. Also, FYI I'm in favor of everyone getting the ability to buy a house in an instanced zone, but given a server is 750 dollars to 800 dollars a month and adding just one additional server per world would be a massive increase to upkeep, it isn't realistically going to happen.

I got a house for my own but smoll.

That is only temporary fix though, they need to actually listen to some of us and stop being so stubborn to insist on the "community feel" nonsense and add some instanced housing.
