Sometimes I feel they really want to drag things out in this game way to much XD

Reminds me of someone from another thread

"Not everyone got to be there in prime time for houses !!!!"

Well tough luck, life is unfair, if you're busy you're busy, you try again at another point

Surely they can wait 5 days?

Some people have zero availability during some parts of the week or are not in a location where they can log into the game. In my previous position, some days required me to work 20 hours or I could be called to board a plane and travel with no warning. Waiting a few more days to give a chance to people who want a house is not the end of the world. I don’t mind a faster system either but the limited and finite supply is the real issue.

It amazes me that some people can be so impatient as to clamor for period reductions that ultimately in then end will make access to housing difficult at best for others. Or perhaps, that is their goal all along. It might not be just simple impatience but a desire to artificially eliminate competition.

Scenario time!
SE has introduced 24 new wards in each district. HOWEVER, the houses can only be bought via mogshop and each house is tied to an NFT. Each house is priced differently based on location and size.
1.Would you buy one as soon as it dropped?
2.Would you sell your purchased house?
3.How long would it take for RMT to lock down certain wards?

It is to eliminate competition and equality. They want the house and want no one else to have a chance. Its why some even want the old style back, because with an autoclicker they have the best chances but they would never mention that is their plan and reasoning behind it.

You really have no clue, do you, as to how difficult and painful that can be for people with disabilities or who are elderly. I think Bsrking5 is correct. People who are making these suggestions are doing it purely for selfish reasons. They have no compassion for their fellow players. It's disgusting.

Depends on what world you're on. Balmung and Mateus would most definitely disagree.

The question is how fast other worlds are going to be joining Balmung and Mateus, especially with the new NA data center delayed by 3 months.

Not to mention that FC plots are meant for free companies aka several players who've come together to form a community, not solo owners who abused the system to hoard houses.

The way the lottery is setup, there's no reason why they couldn't change the "bid time" to something short. I think with the short supply, the bid time should be something much shorter. Make it like the 12 hour window we had before when people would spam placards. It would probably keep the bids down to just players that are actually looking for housing instead of those that come in on a whim to look.

Of course, until auto-demo is back on, it won't matter.
