I bought my original house in Lavender Beds with no stress at all. I just checked wards via aethernet periodically and when I saw one vacated I purchased it. And it happened to be fairly close to a market board. When the announcement was made that Shirogane was opening I made arrangements to make sure I was able to log on as soon as that maintenance ended and relocated my home there with no other players competing with me to click on the placard.

The rest of this thread seems to have shifted to people condoning or admitting to using illegal 3rd party programs then complaining when said 3rd party programs give their gil to people that know said programs are being used and know how to trick them. To me that just sounds like a situation similar to a scammer getting scammed or those ppl using bots to attempt buying PS5's online that ended up buying empty boxes because ppl posted listings specifically to trick the bot programs. If you decide to try and cheat the system because you don't like the system for whatever reason, you have willingly accepted responsibility and ownership of whatever happens due to that activity.
I do not condone the use of bots. There is a difference between understanding why people resort to such things and condoning their use. My point is that the system should be changed so there is no need to participate in unhealthy activity in order to obtain a house. They changed the Absolute Virtue fight in XI when they discovered people were staying awake for 48 hours at a time to beat it, there's no reason they can't fix this.
