So, what now? Lotteries with 150+ bids until... when?

We're all down bad man xD
In all seriousness ik it's luck based but at least with clicking I was able to get 2 houses (at different times) on my old main. With the lotto now on my current it's been no mas

I personally never had a problem with FCFS getting a house. I only placard clicked the one time on Balmung to get a small in a terrible location where there were only 5 people at the placard with 3 of them afk most of the time. I clicked for hours and won and then later transferred to a poolside in Brimming Hearts after a bunch opened up with the restart of demolition.

I can see how the lottery gives people an even shot but it sure makes it harder for people to win one in my view given a lot more people are participating.

Hopefully the lotto has given the developers some real numbers on the demand for housing and they'll start to deal with providing a system that gives one to everyone that wants one.

Which is something many of us warned the lottery proponents about when the lottery suggestions were first being made.

Some of them said they'd be happy to accept lower odds in exchange for having time to play the rest of the game instead of standing at a placard.

It's a shame more didn't speak up at the time to express their own opinions.
