Medium plot available ! Enter lottery ?

13 hours into the lottery..

62 bids

topkek

ill post the final bids when it ends.

:D

Everybody and their mom entered the lottery already, it's gonna be like jumbo cactpot :)

The most I've seen so far was 650 for a medium in the lavender beds a few weeks ago.

Why are you surprised? It's not just going to be players without a house that bid. It's going to be the players who already own a small and want to upgrade to a medium as well.

Even if we had enough total houses for every player to have a house, the mediums and larges will always have a large number of bids from relocators.

Don’t forget to count those who purposely enter the bid only to bail if they won it.

Can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would do that, it's a waste of gil.

Back when relocation was a thing, people would spend money just to relocate and screw with people who were placard spamming. Sometimes, depending on the situation, they would do this several times in a row.
There aren't a lot of things to spend Gil on, and housing brings out the worst in this great community.

14 bids including mine so far. Let's see how many want my dream plot.

Which is why this system is better. It doesn't totally eliminate it, but I do think it'll reduce the chance of these people success down to negligible amount.

It's only a temporary waste of gil, it's not like people have a reason to drop a bunch of gil like that regularly, so no real harm in dropping money in the lottery to potentially troll people who want a house. People can suck sometimes

When you've played the game long enough, wasting gil is all there is to do with it.

True, I mean these days I bought everything from the MB and I'm an omni-crafter. But even so, spending gil to just piss people off seem to be poor taste.

Yes but towards the end before they stopped instant transfers it was a thing for sure on Balmung with people transferring in one day and out another. They did it to troll people clicking placards trying to get a house. I suspect that it happened on other servers as well. People like that were the cause (at least one of the major ones in my view) for the changes in the rules with respect to transfer.
