Suggestion: Shorten lottery timer

Please shorten the lottery timer; preferably both entry and results period - even if it's just for new wards, please.

I sincerely think this would benefit true housing enthusiasts and the housing community as a whole.
Thank you for reading.

how would shortening the timer benefit things? You haven't explained your logic.

9 day period, 5 days entry and 4 days results gives people plenty of time to enter and check that they've won. How would shortening that be better?

True housing enthusiasts? So this would be only for personal housing wards?

I've always thought that a M-F entry period with weekends as a results period would be better.

People work and have lives. the 9 day rotation works well because of that.

Some people are too busy on certain days to play games. Having a non-weekly period means that no one is unfairly favored because of the days of the week they can and can't play.

I think the idea was to stagger it, so it’s not the same days every week… but we could do that with a 3/2 split. Just feels so long, especially when you’re losing every round… lol

That's why weekends should be the results period. Most people have more leisure time during the weekends.

Are you in school or something?

The majority of the players of this game are adults who work all manor of hours, in my FC alone, I have people that work night shifts and weekends regularly. I myself even worked most weekends one point.

The current system works perfectly. I know ya'll all desperate for a large/medium in your preferred location just like I am desperate for plot 31 in Shirogane. But rather than suggesting a system that would adversely affect people that don't spend their lives 24/7 on FF14. Go suggest a solution or post in the threads for more housing.

I don't think you're deliberately trying to say "service industry workers aren't real people" but that's what you're saying here.
