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

Maybe the Devs saw that Private Housing got out of hand with 70% spread over all Servers in comparison to FC Housing and they now try to adjust the numbers a little bit in favour of FCs (which were the initial target audience for Housing) before the sissies flooded the OF "but mah Private House, I want one too".

The reason housing is 70% personal is because FC demand is lower than some like to claim.

Setting aside 75% of the new housing for FCs was way out of line compared to the real demand. There's a reason why most of the FC wards had half or more of their plots with no entries at all in the first lottery period - that much demand does not exist among FCs. What's even worse is when you wander around and see the number of the claimed plots owned by FCs that now have fewer than 4 members. The FC Master got their house for personal use - no need to keep the superfluous members in the FC anymore.

SE might have made FCs the target audience for houses but that doesn't reflect where the majority of interest actually lies. Most players could care less about FC housing because they do not benefit - unless they're running the FC, of course. The FC Master reserve access to the house features for themselves and sometimes their officers, leaving their members without access to the content other than the ability to visit the house. That increases the demand for personal houses because that's the only way the average FC member is able to engage with the content.

By the way, bad choice of throwaway character to post on if you're trying to get people to take your argument seriously. The profiles for your FC and its members plus a visit to your FC house says much about why it's a problem to prioritize FCs

Do you really think FCs are going for small Plots first? If so. Jeez are you naive. No one cares about small Houses. Everyone wants to have a shot on Ls first then Ms and afterwards if they are still small left in the dust we can discuss about demand of FCs and Private.

I am happy with my small FC. I have never even looked around nor attempted to find a bigger one. It has the same workshop to make and send subs/ships, all the same space to have foods and ammenities that any house/FC has. The main and most important perk is not having to be exposed to ridiculously immature, toxic and annoying people in big cites like Limsa while waiting or crafting

Let's disregard how there are more characters than Free Companies. Typical Jojoya logic right here, guess you are still drinking the koolaid after all.
