Endwalker Housing Update

[Rathmir]

This has nothing to do with mathematic. This is called forecasting where players is trying to obtain best estimate of future results and the most-likely scenario assumptions.

Currently it is still remain true that a lot of players will start criticizing this lottery system the same way they criticizing demolish timer (a lot of them were supporters)

At least someone admits, that it's like forecasting weather by throwing bones, taking 10 of them away and tell results from the rest.
Late edit: Sure, goes for both sides, to be fully fair.
Of course, it might be really heavy after the Ishard plots are gone. But as said: Nobody really has 100% solid numbers for now how big the real demand is.
How many people want to relocate, how many new people want a house at all, and so on.

And sure, plenty of people will have their chance lowered, others are not too different with just being passers-by clickers.

For telling that a lot of people will curse the lottery system... for that you don't need to be a medium.
As said: Reloc was fine, but isn't really at the moment. The timer in today's form with that big range is total nonesense.

Lottery might be a way to get the needed numbers, as everyone who's interested in housing might still apply. Then Squaresoft needs to take serious actions, and no half hearted ones like so far (including this discussed one(s) here), if they want to keep up with the ward system.

Wouldn't mind a half-instanced ward system, where everyone can just take their fav. plot, maybe click their neighbours from the plot's pools for their liking. So nobody would give anything about relocators or accounts with multiple houses, and what not seen, at all.

But every possible way to solve the issue costs time and money, and no idea how much of both Square is willing to invest.

Edit: To be honest, my faith with Square and that are not the highest. Sure, they could drop 12 more wards per style again. But give it a few months, and the topic comes up once more. As long as the actual system stays, and the player counts are high, nothing will change for longer.
