Idea for housing system

[Jojoya]

I know I'll enjoy seeing the hipocrisy of the housing fans when they complain about the RNG screwing them out of their chance to move despite how much they dedicate to decorating and planning. Probably some of the same people who clap every time pve content and job play in the game gets oversimplified for sake of accessibility.

Well, if you think accessibility is so good you'd better be ready to see it affecting housing too.

We don't know that's going to happen. SE has not told us how relocation will be getting affected by the new systems. It's always possible it will bypass the lottery system just as it currently bypasses the purchase timer.

The lottery only applies to HALF the wards in Ishgard, the others are the same as they always have been. I think both are still going to cause issues; nothing is stopping rmt sellers to just use many accounts to try, so it still doesn't solve the issue.

We don't know that either. YoshiP even said they have yet to decide how to allocate the wards types.

There are always going to be issues as long as there are fewer houses than players who want to buy a house and multiple house ownership is allowed to aggravate the problem. Players forget the one personal house restriction is only per world, not per account. I have characters on 8 different worlds. That means I can own 8 personal houses if I want. If I ever decided to do it, 7 other players who want a house would not able to get one.

SE needs to stop pouring resources into their heavily flawed ward system and start putting them into one that will accommodate all players who want a house.

That is too much trouble, and I really don't know if it is bots or not. But watching a huge crowd stand around waiting to get lucky is annoying. So I like rng bidding and if I get lucky cool. It means I don't got to stand around long hours to wait.


Is is perfect? Nope, but it is much better than macros/bots/or just coming back every 8 hours whatever.

Are you going to be happy with the system when you still can't get a house?
