If the winner is 0...

[Lustre]

Yeah I got that "winner 0" garbage yesterday so I claimed my money back before coming on the forum (I'm sure Im not the only one) so it looks like Im out of the running for getting a house in ishgard.

I'm the same. I assumed I hadn't won, saw "0 is the winner", claimed my money back, and I remained in the participant pool. I'm not expecting the resolution to be pleasing to all parties so I'm just not engaging with housing in the future. Seems like a waste of time.

I cant think of a way to fix this that would please everyone.

So some people lost out because their ticket wasnt counted hence the "winner 0" issue. Does that mean they could just run a lottery again on those plots if thats possible? Not really as it could mean there might be more (or possibly less) competition this time around for those plots. How about the players who were lucky enough not to get screwed over, do they get to keep the house knowing theres an issue where many entrants werent counted so theres no way people can have any confidence the house was won legitimately.

100 people put a ticket in for a house so you've got a 1 in 100 chance of winning, well what if 90 of those tickets werent even counted (like all the people who got the winner 0 bug), now thats a 1 in 10 chance of getting the house and the rest had absolutely no chance in hell since theres didnt even count.

Consumer confidence in this game has taken a few bad knocks lately.
