No, that’s the npc for the voluntary payment of the house for those who got a house for free with the 0 bug. The sorry is for the delay it took them to sort the bug. If you pay, you can get a poster.

I doubt there are many people pointing and laughing. In my case, when I won there was another person there. They were very nice and helped me with the menus and I ended up offering them to be a tenant.

Oh yeah I'm not saying it's a common occurrence, but at the beginning of the lotto there were stories that popped up of new houseowners being uhh.. less than nice. I think people just don't really want a chance to come across new owners tbh.

I believe those stories in the same sense as I believe seeing a unicorn irl. People fabricate a lot of gobshite just to stir up the xiv community in pitiful ways when there's content drought. Seems to always be the case

Eh, I wouldn't discredit it entirely tbh. There are certainly characters out there in the game lol.

Honestly I love that they fabricate stories like this. It's like entertainment drama from roleplayers in the xiv community. It's entertaining to hear about. Since we have a lot of roleplayers in xiv's casual community, I imagine they're making it up to start something and rile people up, but also show what kind of entertainment we get out of it during content drought lol (like MTV and real housewives of Beverly hills)

Calling going back to collect a FULL refund from a lottery you participated in, a "walk of shame", is hyperbole at it's finest.

Having some personal experience of how petty people can be in this game, I can believe that it has at least happened more than 0 times lol. I mean there are screenshots of people writing salt-crusted insults in other player's message books right after the lotto round ends. Yesterday, a DPS in my Aglaia run was rescued, he said not to do that, the healer responded with "no, gonna do it anyways". I said to not be rude and got threatened with to be reported for telling them (the healer) how to play lol. Some people are just incredibly sad and it's not always for entertainment purposes.

Pettiness happens with ingame dungeons all the time. It's casual content. Toxic behavior will be allowed until the devs bother to actually do something about it (which almost never happens). I can give you 5 names of RMT traders- and they're still here in the same server and datacenter. Squeenix may post they removed rmt- but that just seems like they type random numbers and make stuff up. Otherwise, those 5 players would be gone. But people know how to loophole the system and stay within the radar (same with housing). If the housing issues were actually fixed like we'd think they'd be, these wouldn't even be conversations lol. But here we are!
