Ishgard Housing No Lottery For Wards

[Eretria]

Yes, our FC has a large. Yes, I have a medium. I had a small and made use of the relocation immediately thing. I should be advocating for FCFS right? No. I am not. I felt bad when I relocated and there were folks standing there clicking, but human nature being what it is, I relocated anyway. That was the system, right? When I would see plots come open I would calculate primetime for my friends so they could walk right up, click, and get the house after only an hour instead of the 12+ hours others stood there for.

The entire time I was doing this, the entire time, in voice, all of us, were lamenting that this was a horrible, horrible, horrible system. Just let us deposit money, draw a winner, and have done with it. And now they are doing it. I am so very happy, for all those in my FC who don't have the TIME to click. They don't have want to choose between hopping into an expert queue or farm a mount, or advance their story and having to sit. clicking. a. placard. May as well be playing a phone game at that point. They work. They have real lives. They can't login at 4am to sit in queue.

Will they win a lottery right away? Probably not. But instead of hours clicking, now it'll just be the same effort it takes to not win the cactpot. With far better odds. I guess those advocating FCFS feel that folks with less time to play, but who pay the same amount for the game, haven't "earned" a house, or "put in the work" and that it "isn't that hard" to click. I disagree. Folks with an hour a day to play have the same right to a chance at a house as me, who works from home and can play anytime.

This person gets it, and I'm not angry at anyone who took advantage of the current system as described above, even though as someone who falls into into the "has a job and can't afford to login and spend my clicking' category. That is the current horrible system, it is what is. I do get frustrated these systems don't improve however.
