    Dynamis has loads of undesirable small houses up, and cycles mediums and larges pretty regularly. (you wont win those though since they usually all get over 10 bids)

    What a great mindset lmao

    10 bids or over = instant loss

    that's a way to never get a house that's for sure

    A few months ago I won a personal house out of 68 bids, if I had the same mindset as you did, I would have given up in advance

    10% Chance on that. And thats ususally the minim I've noticed on Marilith.
    Last Large I bid on had 40 bids, and thats a 2.5% chance.

    I already have a house and more gil than I could ever know what to do with so I just throw it at any large that comes up, I'm not going to kid myself into thinking these odds will ever lead to anything.

    But yeah if undesirable smalls in ishgard are your thing dynamis is your server.

    If you say so lmao, I know many people who have gotten mediums on dyna, some in 1 or 2 rounds, and shiro mediums or at the very least mist.

    Your thinking and negativity is how people dont get houses because they dont even try.

    10% just isn't something you should count on? Not that much of a stretch

    Will put you on ignore if you can't form a logical argument but argue nonetheless

    You shouldn't COUNT ON IT. Doesn't mean there is no hope. I mean OP can also just wait or bid on Balmung. No need for new houses then.

    Yeah me. I have a medium on Dynamis, got it in a 1 out of 1 bid in the very first housing lottery. That was a year ago.
    I would not however tell someone to move to dynamis for a sub 10% chance at getting a desirable house.

    Because gil is largely worthless outside of housing? Its not effort to do go up to a house and click bid.

    We also have a bunch of newly added wards that are closed off because they apparently want the rest of the wards to fill up first.

    Is it? You act like it's some difficult act to go over to the placard and bid. Regardless of your mindset the odds are the same.

    You can't blame people for having such a poor outlook on it either. It's all up to luck. There's no way to earn a house in this game. You spend each week gambling against pretty high odds, and the whole time the playerbase attacks each other despite the scarcity issue being created by the devs.

    I never said it's difficult, but I am saying that if you have a mindset that "I'll lose anyway" a lot of people probably wouldnt even bother/try to upgrade because they give up in advance, its a terrible mindset to have, yes its all luck, just like loot, and yet you still hope to get loot if you actually do content dont you ?

    Tbf the balmung thing is on them, from a housing standpoint I have 0 empathy about someone on the most populated world in the game complaining there's not enough of a limited ressource
