Losing to RNG sucks, and I really think they could tweak the system a bit more so it's easier to place bids and collect your gil if you didn't win, but getting a house used to arguably be a full time job instead of just bid and forget.
I 100% believe determined individuals had way better luck before the lottery system. You can have 100+ entries on a good large but it would never be camped by 100+ people. The lottery system just made it easier for everyone with alts to put in multiple entries. I would rather go back to the free trading of houses; larges wouldn't be 1 bil gil to buy from another player if that were the case. The whole system is completely borked.
