This was happening (in a different way) for a few months on Faerie, Kugane, Ward 1, Plot 12.

For at least 8 consecutive lottery cycles, (those were as long as I was entering for that house, it could've been going on much long idk) some shell or troll FC consistently won the plot and purposely did NOT claim it. This rolls it over to the next one of course.

One I could maybe understand if an FC won and the entrant just had some fluke IRL emergency that took them away from the game and not be able to claim it.

For this to go on for 8 cycles means they were either intentionally griefing players for the lolz, or much more likely offering it on Discord for gil or RMT real money.

The chances of 8 separate legit FC's all having their bidders all having some fluke emergency that none of them could claim their plot each time, let's just say the odds are astronomical against that, like trees and grass suddenly evolving on the Moon tomorrow.

I was bidding on it too of course for my very small FC, it'd be nice to have but not stressing it. Presumably other regular FC's were bidding too, someone finally claimed it last cycle, so either they got lucky and won legit or gave in and paid the greifers on Discord. Really don't care either way.

Didn't file a report because what could it really say? Yeah it's sketchy AF and suspicious, and a really nasty thing to do to fellow players, but certainly I can't prove any rules were broken.
