The title says it all. I see a lot of threads complaining about housing and very few offering solutions. I know this solution has been brought up before but I’d like to bring it up again.

I’ve seen multiple people sit at one placard for HOURS not playing the game in hopes of getting a house instead. Please implement a lottery system for players AND Free Companies (one chance per FC) where you click the placard, acknowledge that if you win the gil will be automatically deducted, and you have that window to build a structure. If you do not have the gil available or the structure hasn’t been built within the required amount of time, the lottery will re-draw and you will lose your chance.

Another variance to the lottery is instead of deducting gil automatically, the player has a 12 hour window to show up and claim the house and paying upon claim. The placard will show the players name and (pending) next to it on both the placard and the housing residential list.

Many of us have jobs and families and sitting there for hours clicking a placard just isn’t feasible. I’ve seen people sit longer for a house (and not even get it!) than they spend in savage content for the week. Something needs to change.
