What they're complaining about is they didn't get the Large (or possibly Medium) house they wanted in the prime location where everyone else also wanted it and there was a lot of competition, and for some reason, they imagine if it was placard clicking, those same people (and more) wouldn't have just been spamming the placard and them lose it anyway. It's a person pissed that they didn't get the thing they wanted - that tons of other people also wanted - and blaming the system instead of themselves, and who want special advantages like "If I own a Small I should have a leg up over some new Sprout in the game buying that Large that I want."

This isn't true for all of us who wanted a med or large. I went to the lowest bidded large in ishgrad(bc I want to live there and not the ugly goblet) and still lost even tho only 2 other ppl were bidding on the house. This system is a feelbad system because all the power is taken from the player's hands and left to an rng system. If we was on the placard system I would most likely have better odds bc I would log out near the house I wanted the night before the maint that unlocked the ward and then wake up 30 min before maint ends to hope to get in before anyone else. That is how I got my very first house in SB and it felt amazing. It felt like I was rewarded bc I took the time to think out a plan and woke up early. Even if I didn't get that house back is SB at least I know I tried my hardest. Now tho I feel empty when I lose a bid because I know there was nothing I could do. All the power is taken from my hands and rng god just didn't shine on me. On top of that, I have to walk back the plot and watch the person who did win standing there enjoying thier house just bc they go lucky in a random num picker. They didn't work for that house, they just got really lucky. Yeah clicking a placard isnt a good system either but the lottery isn't much better imo. It still makes you feel bad when you lose a house and for me, I honestly feel worst in this system bc I have to rely on one thing that I have always been bad at and that is luck. I'm always been really unlucky in loot rolls and genshin so a system that requires being lucky means that I most likely will never leave the area and I might as well just give up.
