Remove the FC/Personal housing ward classifications for OCE?

[Shibi]

So it's the housing areas (wards) that are divided by FC or private. It doesn't state that the division is tied to the purchase method.

And as far as ward split absolutely zero has been said. So any statement that it works one way or another is simply made up. You make up your stance, and I make up my stance. You can't state it as a fact any more than I can. And you really shouldn't in your first post in this thread. And I should on my belief in my first post too, tbh. Neither of us is right, because neither of us know. SE have said nothing. Guess, but state it's a guess, not a fact. OK?


However, let me state that right now, on Materia, and on the new EU servers, and soon enough the Dynamis servers (after a few lottery rounds for fairness), retaining lottery is of no use - there are simply too many empty plots. Ideally, what I would like (ON NEW SERVERS) to see that that lottery (and hopefully split) runs for a few rounds, maybe 5 or 6, then if it's say > 5% free plots it's all removed and the system returns to FCFS (without split hopefully). People can combo their FC and personal next to each other, and all buys are instant. It remains FCFS until housing is down to 5% then lottery comes back on.

It's become clear that lottery serves little purpose on new servers after a few rounds, and the ward split should follow the same idea, so I'd love to SE do something to remove both until the new servers fill up.

While I don't have an issue with wards that are mostly vacant going to FCFS, we end up with the question of what happens when all the mediums and larges are filled up so only smalls are left. Will FCFS be true FCFS opening the door to RMT again even of a plot owned privately, or will it go back to the placard timer FCFS as it existed at the start of the expansion (no relocation bypass)? The major money is in the mediums and larges, not the smalls. Would FCFS have to be switched back to lottery at that point?

Placard timer for 10-12 hours, then walk-right-up buy.

RMT won't be advantaged. There is no relocation, and with clicking first there is no guarantee of a S-Tier demo sale. There are enough of us on the housing discords to spot an LB11/41 for sale and then be there at the placard to click and confound any attempt of RMT if it's demolished.
