Lottery was never and will never be a guarantee that someone would win haus of dreams.

Mediums are rare, yes, and they are slightly easier now over the past, but they are still rare. Previously under relocation rules it was quite well established that any wild mediums would be snapped up by a bot 1 minute past the hour and pretty much immediately listed for 300-500 million gil. Rarely someone beat the bot on those, but more often than not, they didn't.

Now there is an even chance with all other people wanting it for their dreams.

As your theme is Ishgard, to salve the hurt a little, aim to move to a nice small in empy, and once there, keep entering for mediums. No different to placard clicking for 2 hour prime-time windows, then moving to the next, but know you will still need to enter many medium lotteries until the RNG gods smile on you.

Ultimately SE need to sit down and work out what we want in housing, then implement it. The system as it is now isn't working. The lottery bandaid has just made it more obvious.
