Please remove housing lottery and make some other way of house acquisition.

Storage situation?

Its been years at this point, but thats the only explanation i remember putting together at that point: as i remember, she hasnt emptied her old house and there wasnt space in her storage for all the stuff, so the relo didnt go through. If thats approximately how that works, i am not 100% sure.
It was one absurd moment to just look at helplessly when someone else sprinted there and bought the plot QQ

Storage situation?

The game prevents you from relocating if your storage is too full to be able to fit all of your placed furnishings. Before lottery was a thing, this mattered a lot because you had to be really speedy to get any plot you wanted. Being forced to go back to your plot to free up your storage basically meant whatever you wanted would be taken by the time you were back and ready to relocate.

If you did read the edit, you would have known it will be a no on that statement.

But you still want to add an extremely convoluted solution to a (currenly) very simple and straightforward system.
It will not make the things easier for the players (not for those without millions in the bank, anyway).

Ah. I had a similar occurrence when we relocated. Though this was during lottery; I just stuffed things into my inventory and then moved when the items were low enough in storage to do so.

I was more confused why she wasn't able to move, unless that happened during the original times (you could just grab) or the timer.

They don't sell the "house". They purchase the land as an FC and then sell the FC. Very common black market practice here.

OP obviously doesn't remember the days before the lottery where you were stuck wasting your entire day clicking a placard only to lose to someone time and time again.

The lottery means that you don't have to click nonstop, and you aren't competing against cheaters.

We replaced a bad system with a bad system.

I will honestly take ANY other system (not saying the lottery is "good" but it's better than the past) they come up with as long as it's not the dang clicking again. The amount of sleep I lost due to having to stay up through the night for a small plot because reminder that you had absolutely ZERO chance at Mediums or Larges with this system and had to own a small and then obsessively check for Mediums and hope you see it first to relocate (and hope you don't have any errors).

[Shistar]

We went from a horrible system that made you waste your time, energy and potentially risk your health for the CHANCE at a small (Mediums and larges were out of the table) to a system that lets you leisurely browse your options in a period of multiple days, settle on one with a singular click and gives you gil back in full if you don't win. How is this system just as bad as the previous one? Are we insane now?
This is the best system we've had so far. It allows you to go from nothing to a Large, if only you are the chosen lottery number. Before it was also a game of chance, but you lost so much more in the process.


I'm not saying the system isn't flawed. People abusing multiple bids on alt accounts are not good - but then, what kind of system does SE have to implement to be able to tell a multi alt account FC shell from your buddy that wants to help towards the FC house's bids? How far are we willing to let SE monitor us? They already said they're unwilling to introduce systems that check through our computer's files, for which I am thankful they have kept their word so far. The only way to make these gil farm FCs to lose interest in housing is to divorce the workshop from the house. Unless they want to keep the houses for the flex, many of them will free up nearly instantly.
