Post your Round 3 result of House Bidding!

Dont know what there is to work out, people want the ability to actually fucking get a house.

Well, clearly. And this thread is also showing that people want to jump from homeless into a medium, which under this current system is like trying to do the latest savage in Moonward.

The biggest questions SE need to ask is "what do these people want their house for?" followed by "why aren't apartments working" followed by "how can we provide this to everyone who wants it".

Lost 3 times. As I said before I will treat housing lottery like jumbo cactpot. I dont expect to win it ever.

[Rangiswimming]

You are the MVP, gonna check them out when I get home

Considered bidding for Small one instead? Better a smol then nothing.

I've been bidding for smalls since april, nothing yet so its not really helping that advice.

[MilkieTea]

Yeah at this point I'm thinking FCFS would at least leave me with less disappointment lol.

Won a refund for the FC house again.
I didn't even look at Empyreum this time. Found a Large in Mist, ended up being me vs 120+ people.
I'm in Spain, but without the S.

I live in SPAIN, but the S is silent.

Im trying to wrap my head in the following situation: Last night, ward 24 plot 58 in empyreum was AVAILABLE until today. How did this plot manage to NOT get claimed for all this time???

The current system clearly isn't working.

That's where you're wrong. The system works, what the system cant do is magic, because there's not enough supply to satisfy everyone.

If nothing else I enjoy how this new bidding system shows you very clearly exactly how many people are being denied the housing they want. With the prior system it was always a little vague because you needed the patience to placard spam, but now it clearly says "45 people are bidding for this"

My spouse put in three bids on a small lot in Shirogane (Fairie), one bid from each character she has on that world.
There were 50 total bids last we checked.
My spouse won.

I also put in three bids on that lot. Obviously, I lost.

I'm considering leveling more characters up on Faeirie and, at some time in the future, trying for a medium.
I just need 8 characters leveled enough to qualify and 160 million gil.
If I stop spending millions on glamours, I can do it: right now one of my glamour plates cost literally as much as a small plot.

[BTW, this demonstrates that number-of-losing-entries is not the same as number-of-losing-players. My spouse lost twice but still won, and I was really just trying to get the lot for my spouse to build, decorate, and garden at, so I effectively won too.]
