New lottery system will only get worse from here and solves no REAL issues.

But hey, listen, how would more people get to buy up entire wards if not for SE using the lottery system as an excuse to block private buyers from said wards?

Personal houses should've been limited to 1 per service account long ago anyways, but that's a completely different issue that they should've already resolved.

It resolved itself on its own.

They have been limited so. I'm not alluding to the few that were grandfathered in. People are getting around it right now, as always, with multiple accounts and FC ownership. And probably no small number of them will make their way to the RMT markets.

Ironically, if SE hadn't blocked private owners from the vast majority of land, it would be harder for the RMTers - since they'd at least have competition. Instead, ward takeovers are trivially easy for the people with multiple accounts and front FCs - because that's beyond what even most very dedicated players can do.

What call out and why are you so feisty?

Relax...

There were 2 880 plots per server (66) before 4.2. Let's say a very generous 10% of the houses were owned by players that already had a personal house. So 288 houses per server or 19,008 in total. Patch 6.1 increased the number of plots to 7,200. With the added servers (7), that makes a total of 525,600 plots.

Would you agree that during the 4 years and 3 months between those two patches:

• Half of the original amount of grandfathered personal houses was sold off prior to the invisible timer? (Whether they were acquired exclusively for resale purposes or not)
  
• Half of the remaining grandfathered personal houses that have not been sold off have since been reclaimed by the auto-demolition system or have been manually demolished ex: server transfer

Regardless of if you agree with the two questions above, you're looking at a grandfathering rate of:

-3.6%/19,008 houses if you are delusional
-1.8%/9,504 houses if you would agree that half of the grandfathered personal houses are gone
-0.9%/4,752 houses if you would agree that three quarters of the grandfathered personal houses are gone


To put things into perspective. A conservative estimate of the plots being vacated after the reinstatement of the auto-demolition system in 2020 vacated more than 18,000 plots.

While new ward takeovers have been made easier by the lottery, you can't say it's currently beyond dedicated players. It's not true.

Dedicated players absolutely do have a chance at new ward takeovers that they didn't under FCFS. Even a brand new primal starting today has time to aim for a whole ward on the new EU servers in 2023. Materia DC provides a perfect opportunity for a dedicated beginner willing to put in that time to fund an EU takeover.

New challenge for the primals... aim for an entire 24 wards of Goblet.

Yes, we have to abolish the lottery system and come up with something even worse for entertainment purposes! Seriously, who needs cable TV when you have the OF.

Placard PvP. 48 go in, last person standing gets the plot?

The silicon shortage excuse only works for so long if you're a corporate entity with a name so large that suppliers would be JUMPING to do business with you.

While Square may have some clout what they don't have is volume guarantees. The vast majority of silicon has been going to the automotive industry and even they cannot get enough.

dont take anything from this kid seriously just a reminder in another post he said "different people pay different sub payments so the housing privilege's is somehow tied to how much or what length duration sub you pay with currency exchange rates" Basically he makes up stuff and pretends it matters.

Yeah I've seen him spew psuedo-intellectual tripe on other threads, that's why I'm not bothering dignifying him with a response. Just not worth the expended effort to interact with pretentious, self-serving wannabe housing moguls.

yeah LMFAO this dude says stuff like "oh we all dont pay different subs" Pulls out a chart showing price difference between 3 month sub and 1 month sub telling me somehow that has anything to with how majority of the people cant access housing... LOL apparently the price has something to do with it even though it clearly doesnt . just basically lying
