Please give us instant housing

[Shibi]

It's a tad disappointing to have my forum trolled but you are also right, it brought some laughs so I'll take it. It is what it is. I was trying to be humorous with my edit too but oh well ^.^;;

Any day you can bring a smile to someone's face is a good day. Your topic isn't reduced at all by the clearly unintentional error as the meaning is perfectly clear to us - but it brings joy and giggles. If anything, it becomes a positive thread that carries more weight.

Instanced housing would solve so many problems, and the ward system doesn't have to be dismantled to provide it. Additionally, Island Sanctuary should really be putting to bed the "we can't do instancing because servers are hard to come by" community invented excuse. And I stress that "invented".

How long have we been saying this?

I am so tired of people trying to come up with inventive ways to redistribute what we have. Take houses off players who do 'x'...
('...and give one to me', presumably)

I am so tired of people inventing excuses for Square. This house shortage has been going on for as long as I've been playing the game (HW). The least the devs could do is come out and make a statement on the state of housing and the reasoning behind it.

The lottery is just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. The present system doesn't give EU and NA players enough houses, the lottery is not going to improve supply and supply is the issue.

Island sanctuary proves they had resourses available that could give every single character a private instance, that's a lot more instances than would be needed for every interested player to get a private house.

The lottery system is just more intimidating than a real fix. I use to feel I had SOME KIND OF CHANCE with IDK maybe a 20% or something when the clicking war was a thing. Now when I place a bid, I feel I have a 0.000something chance. The only fix is we don't have to sit in front of the plot for a whole day. In return, we now see how many people are after a house with not enough being provided. I hope this change from clicking war to bidding is more of an eye-opener to SE as it is to the players on how many are competing for a house and how many are disappointed in not getting one.

I know people who want a house but won't bid because the odds of winning are just way too insane. It's like trying to win a lottery... but the prize is only a digital house so it's not even worth stressing over half of the time. When I go place a bid, I expect to lose and call the deadline 'The Day I Get My Gil Back.'

Thank you for your positivity <3
I fully agree!
