Large quantity of gil disappeared.

I find it curious how the OP hasn't come back after it's come up that he was probably macroing

would you come back after you realized you just admitted to breaking the rules on the public forum and EVERYONE figured it out?

The lottery won't fix anything. It will just be a new layer of frustration for players who want a house but can't get one because instead of competing against the dozen or so players willing to give up playing the rest of the game to camp a placard, you'll be competing against the hundreds of players who want a house but weren't willing to stop playing the game to camp.

I wouldn't say it won't fix ANYTHING. Right now there's a huge time investment needed to even have a chance to get a house. You HAVE to camp. You HAVE to be there nearly the whole time. With a lottery you, supposedly, will put in a bid.. then hope. Go do whatever you want for the time the bid takes to resolve. It solves the problem where people would have to invest inordinate amounts of time to even have a chance of getting a house (it also might make house botting not a thing at all). It might still be frustrating, but at least it won't be crazily time consuming.
