Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

I think you are misunderstanding what first come first serve is

FCFS was basically, X house opens, you go to the placard and you IMMEDIATELY purchase the house, later on it was changed to a wait timer that was RNG, but the original iteration wasnt RNG

No, I understand what it is. Nothing about my comment suggests that I don't. Me and that other user (not you, so please don't interject) were discussing the old system vs. the new one. Neither of which is FCFS.

Whether it was to that one comment of mine or not, literally not one thing that I have posted suggests that I don't understand how FCFS works. I simply have a different opinion than you which you seem to have a lot of difficulty accepting.

Regardless of our opinions though--they will not implement a FCFS system. Ever. SE has made it (very) clear that they value players having a life/game balance and not having to be subbed at all times or online at all times. That's why the patch cycle exists as it does. This is literally what Yoshi has said time and time again. So they will never (ever) implement a system where you must be online EXACTLY when a house becomes available in order to be in the running to purchase one.

Based on what SE has said (with their own words, on record) regarding how they want people to approach and play FFXIV the lottery system will be the system if/until instanced housing becomes a reality.

Now you can either recognize that, or continue to stalk this thread obsessively and argue with people over it.

Your argument is proven wrong by the fact you need a subscription to keep your house or it gets demolished.
