Why pretend that 99.9% chance that SE gave you was only 0.0000025%?

Would it be nice if SE could adopt LotRO's system of adding new wards as needed just on the worlds where they are needed? Of course. They should have better researched what MMO players expect from housing before implementing a half-baked system that doesn't meet player expectations.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be possible with their game set-up. In that case, players need to seize what opportunity may be presented to them if they're going to get what they want. Or they can sit in the forums complaining and do without.

Hopefully, you weren't trying to go after one of the premium plots that had what little competition there was so you have your house now. If you didn't win, there are still houses left for the next lottery and you can get one then.
You're leaving out the part where I had to leave a server and a free company to go to a new server that is so cripplingly dead that you have to DC travel to do the MSQ.

I got the house, but I'm not going to sit on a high horse like you and pretend the system is great. Its dogshit really.
I seized said oppertuntiy at the price it came for, but I'm not going to act like its reasonable or there aren't inexcusable faults in the system, nor am I going to make excuses for a multi billion dollar corporation thats been investing less and less into this game since endwalker dropped.

Said server is now out of Larges and has a handful of mediums left, in a month we'll be right back to the 0% vs 0.00000000025% metric of the old system vs the new one save for smalls. I just wish they'd focus on solutions instead of bandaids.
I guess I expect more from a Buy 2 Play Subscription based game held by a corporation as large as Square Enix.
