(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Reinha]

I think that this thought could use a slight correction.

For many, it's not just RNG that got them what they want. It was also being willing to go to where the plots were available instead of insisting that the plots should be brought to them.

Agreed. It was my decisions and effort that got me my mansion. It would be incorrect to say all other people put in as much effort, because they didn't and still don't.

I chose to play on my server. I chose to bid in a harder-to-access district. I leveled alts so they could bid in Ishgard and collected the Gil to afford those bids. I chose to leave my former, nice and quiet, fc so that I could bid in fc wards and use the house should my alts win. I've continuously subscribed and was therefore able to take advantage of the opportunity when they changed a ton of wards from fc wards to private wards and also added new wards.

Actual computer-RNG didn't play a part at all because I got my mansion after being the only one to place bids on it.

Since I didn't luck out, maybe my opinion holds weight? If large houses were meant for everyone there wouldn't be only 3 of them per ward.
