The lottery as it was conceived was a band aid on a bullet wound. The lottery as it was implemented was a defective band aid on a bullet wound. They've already spent a whole month fixing the band aid. Do you really want them to waste more time on that stupid band aid? It's not going to help you in any way if they manage to perfect their band aid and collect some gil from the winners.

I hate the housing sytem. I lost my lottery too (though I didn't need to wait a month to know). I know exactly what awaits my future housing prospects under the current system. In round 2, we're probably going to see nearly a hundred bidders per house. Subsequent rounds will be even worse until they open up the smalls in the FC wards to personal buyers. At that point, we may see odds as "good" as round 1 (10% chance is "good" in this horrible system lol). But after everything fills and we go to the usual 1 or 2 houses available every week, it's gonna be hundreds or thousands of bids per house. 0.1% lotteries, here we come!

If you don't get a house in these initial rounds, then it is reasonable to assume that you will never get a house. The numbers are just so staggering. I hope more and more people realize that as the lotteries go on, and that hatred for the housing system increases among the player population. But wasting time trying to collect some gil solves nothing for any of us. We need the lotteries to start running again so that we can see those horrible 1000 bidder rounds and the much deserved drama and hatred that they will inevitably generate.
