Lottery decision is a slap in the face

The best part is that if you lost the lottery and you have immediately see the winner who comes and completes the purchase transection is even a bigger slap in the face.

Yes, we asked for the lottery. We didn't ask for the division of wards into FC-only and Personal. That was a decision by the devs that is frankly a pile of goobue dung.

Splitting wards into FC only and personal only actually has been requested several times over the years in this subforum.

It's also only a temporary issue for Empyreum. The other housing districts already have mixed plot owners and will continue to have mixed plot owners. Empyreum will get there eventually but it will take several months as SE changes the assigned ward types on occasion.

The plot was never promised to you so how is it a slap in the face? The chances that you'll even see the owner are pretty slim unless you sit there camping the plot for that purpose. I don't recommend that.

Also remember that other players are not the enemy. They are not the ones responsible for the system design. They have to go through the same process that you are with the same small chance of getting lucky.

Honestly...I agree. No one should have to make their walk of defeat to a plot they lost just to claim their gil. It should be sent by mail or something.

If we would stream the Walk of Shame on Twitch would it be then in the category "Gambling/Casino". Sorry but it would be just to funny to stream 24/7 to see hundreds of people claiming the gil back. Especially for Larges

You actually won’t see the winner unless you choose to stay there.

Hmm, they might mean; when you go to collect your losing entry, you see the winner's name on the placard.

But that's what we had with clicking too. We saw the winners name pop up on the placard, and I was fine with that - quick check they are not AFK then a huge congratulations, cheers, clapping, and popping off a bottle of champagne.

A few times, I even gave the winner a 500,000 house warming gift if they were friendly and had been with the group traveling placard to placard.

Why can’t it be like that? Lotto time about to end, ppl gather and wish each other luck with a little celebration when the winner is declared? You were all in it with equal chance, wanting the same thing. Don’t have to give Gil but the rest sounds pretty funky.

I don't see why it can't be like this. Congratulate the winner, move on with your day after you collect the gil from your losing ticket.

I had a good experience on my server. I'd been sitting at the placard alone (I'm in the US playing on a JP server, so 13 hours difference) clicking for a while when a guy comes up and we chat a bit, wish each other luck, and continue clicking. After a few more hours I stepped away for a drink and bio and when I came back he'd won. We had a few moments of congratulatory/celebratory emotes and things then I went on my way. It does happen, if perhaps not super frequently.
