I already suggested that as well, the moment I did I literally got attacked by "yeah there's people that are working oversea" "yeah there's people that dont have the time to log in to bid" (but apparently they have time to have a house ?) and more and more excuses to not shorten the timer.1. To speed up the lotto process; a week to determine if you won is overkill as far as leniency.
That would be a disaster tbh, people would just randomly bid to either annoy people, or just bid on multiple things to be sure they get something, then that's another cycle down the drain as one of the houses might not get claimed if the player won both2. Allow you to bid on more then 1 plot; this will allow people to go for a second place plot essentially allowing them to bid on a few potential plots.
There is no fixing it, they make bank on multiowners, compared to the tiny amount of people complaining about them, I dont think they care much, joke's on me, they dont care about housing at all, that Sargatanas house is good proof of that, it had absolute abuse of 3rd party tools all over the place, it's even to this day still in place and the plot below theirs is invading on their plot entirely, but SE never did anything, and it got reported A LOT, link for reference https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...n-t-Okay-Is-It3. Settle the question of the # of FC's a account can own on a world; then set in motion a means to correct that issue (No grandfathering) compensate those effected; if you MUST grandfather anything; I don't know - maybe allow them to keep all their subs in 1 FC at the end.
No.4. Enforce some kind of FC requirement; no more 1 person FCs.
No, because then what if the house next door is an absolute eyesore (gingerbread,paissa etc) and they dont want it ? the game will have automatically done a bid for them and yet they might not want it in that state5. Allow people to put in a "bid" on a plot; they pay money and if the plot EVER comes up on their world - the game automatically bids for them and they receive a ingame mail. If your not paying attention thats no SE's fault.
So much this, remove it, it's not fun for anybody to have to go up to the plot, see the new owner decorate it, and get up to the placard to collect your gil after having waited 5 days to lose yet another time, it has to stop honestly6. Stop making people do the walk of shame to determine they failed to win.
