(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Veritas-Ancora]

We really need to address the supply and demand of large housing. Smalls are nowhere near this competitive and you've made no mention of the size of the buildings getting larger for Smalls/Mediums.

Not everyone is meant to get a large house.

It really is that simple.

I know yall hate that fact but it's the truth.

People on wow subreddit used to hate the rmt but you can see the trend shifting when most upvoted answer is "buy gold" and people condemning rmt are being downvoted and reported.
I agree with you Stormpeaks, but the problem is still not resolved when potential new players get to the game and see all mediums and larges are taken. If they want house, they are pressured to buy gil because the supply and demand creates fomo. Bid now or maybe in few months once some L vacates to repeat this bidding clownfest.

not to mention the famous 350$ shiro house drama. I can only guess there are groups that love to participate in bidding for more despite being owners already.

Supposedly they're working on a new system ("Housing Mirage") that would allow players to select the size of their house interior if they get it to work. That would help make the small plots more desirable if it happens.

Source is the live patch note reading for 6.5 but it's JP language only - the information was being shared by a few unofficial translations. Perhaps they'll share more info (or at least confirm what was said) at the EU FanFest this weekend.

As the other have said, mansions are made to be exclusive atm but that could change in the future, especially once PS4 support is dropped in 8.0 and allow major changes to occur such as smalls and mediums being able to be upgraded to a mansion (speculating at this point). For now, the best chance to win a mansion is to try during ward expansions or when new worlds open such as the four remaining worlds of Dynamis is opened once XBOX players join next Spring. For now, you just have to keep trying and hope you win, I won my current plot in Shiro back in May, so it's possible to win out of many people.

Instead of "may you have better luck in the future", it should read "may the odds be ever in your favor".

Word it how you want, it's still going to sound like "You lost, now sod off."
