Endwalker Housing Update

[Divinemights]

Nothing was said about any changes to the relocation discount. I'm going to assume that will remain intact since it doesn't amount to much.
It has not gotten the boot. Players can still relocate. What it will no longer do is bypass the purchase timer. You will have to compete for a plot against other players who wish to purchase it.

I do understand that relocation need to be suspended for lottery system due to the programming difficulty.
Well, it is nevertheless a lose-lose situation for both first time buyer and relocator.
Relocator need to go throw this lottery system but they are in better shape than first time buyer since they are not losing anything by bidding.
First time buyer will need to bid against relocators now that further decreasing their chance.

This lottery system is just asking first time buyer to drink poison in order to stop their thirsty.
I still expecting see people complaining people losing to bots/hacks after they keep losing lottery draw.

Exactly this. Salt Mines are going to be in full capacity. Unless there is an undisclosed method in place to give first time buyers a chance ahead of relocators (which is possible) housing could be a lot worse than it already is. They thought they wanted this... they didn't. Can't wait to see the tears flow.

Everyone deserves an equal shot at a desirable plot in my opinion. This just gives everyone equal footing (depending on how the fc bids end up functioning) when a plot does open up and if someone does get it for relocation, that's a different plot that's open elsewhere to bid on.

We are going to start see so many complaints when lottery goes live. Mark my word.

That will always be the case though unless supply becomes greater than or equal to demand. I expect one of the biggest complaints beyond supply will be the time it takes for each lottery cycle.

I'm guessing more that they never will win cause so many people are in the lottery.
