Thank you, lottery

[ijuakos_xqwzts]

I refused to placard spam because I didn't want to bot and didn't want to spend 8 hours of my life in this game not actually playing it. I was never going to get a personal under the old system. I got one under this one.

No, lottery doesn't solve the supply problem, but its a godsend for anyone who actually has a life outside this game. Its a much smaller turd sandwich than the old system, and I thank SE for implementing it.

To be fair: people who have no lives outside this game are more likely actually going to maximize their use of acquiring a house. If SquareEnix was doing the equivalent of dangling a crack pipe over an addict's head, you just did the equivalent of grabbing that pipe, then smashing it and laughing.

I'd rather camp a placard. I've lost 3 lotteries on medium houses, and I haven't checked yet, but there's probably none left now in any of the areas' personal wards. Every lottery cycle that goes by gets worse and worse, as fewer and fewer houses are available, and more and more people bidding on the smaller number of what's left.

I just checked the districts. 11 small houses available - assuming no one else claims houses (and the one I lost the roll on still hasn't been claimed).
