When you have multiple FCs that differ only by a few special characters at the end of their name(all same tag) all taking up plots in an Empyreum ward (9th Ward, Hyperion), I feel that the criteria isn't stringent enough for FCs able to bid. This particular FC group also has multiple houses across various servers (166 total). It's so frustrating to see something like this happen, especially within newer ward/housing additions.

I'd just like a place to store my outdoor furniture already. Of course, I'd decorate a house if I ever got one. But one of my biggest issues with this game is not being allowed to store my outdoor furniture in my apartment, since I haven't gotten a house yet. Its a pain in the ass to me because it takes up space for one of my retainers and was one of the big reasons why I had to buy an extra retainer. :/

Apartment sizes please. We can start with the small room upon purchase but allow us to buy bigger sizes and/or styles (so a balcony or second floor) with more gil.

Z axis/let lofts hold more than just table items so we can stop glitching items where we want to go.

Probably my biggest annoyance with the current lottery system: LET. US. RECEIVE. OUR GIL. WITHout GOING TO THE PLACARD.

Why is it not a pop up where we can claim our gil? Why do we need to go all the way to the placard just to find out, nope, you lost, here's your gil back? You can even have it be sent to us by mail if you want. The whole "walk of shame" is stupid.

I like this idea particularly because I am currently experiencing difficulty in upgrading my FC house to a large because of ward restrictions. In the next lottery cycle 3 large houses will open up but I can't bid on one because they are only available to private buyers.

This would not be fair to smaller FCs. Our members are active every day but it would be impossible to earn 1million credits a month.

Even private buyers are small luck to get that. Good luck getting something bigger. I managed to snatch a medium when it was available and now it's 80+ people on it.

I also found some interesting thing. I am not sure if it's a bug or intended but I noticed that lottery winners for houses I bid on were always the last ticket. My friend bid on large house 1 year ago when it was fresh ward, she got 8 chars on bid. So it was her all alone, can say Guaranteed win. Then you see a guy come and he bids 1 minute before bidding closes and he wins the house. He stood there and didn't bid until it was like 1-2 minutes at the end. The ticket was number 9, exactly his.

Then I bid 2 weeks ago for a large house and there were 88 tickets. Same mechanic just done by different person. They stood there for the last 1-2 minute, then bid. Guess what ticket won? Number 89 which was theirs.

I may actually try and see if this works or its some pure luck because big number of people do this thing.

The amount of times it seems to work like that almost makes you feel like there’s a pattern in there somewhere. Like I’ve seen the opposite, where every house on one block of a ward goes to bid number 1 before. It truly is all RNG though, even if the RNG feels “lazy” sometimes! lol

I have a favorite plot I bid on every time it comes up, and every time I lose. I’ve bid first, last and everywhere in between. The only lotto I’ve ever won, for my current plot, I was bid #1 of 2.

would be nice when we get tardus housing all housing limits become a large house limit
