Idea for housing system

[Seer7]

How about this: so a player must reach the required GC rank (let's say second commander or something) to be able to purchase a permit from the GC, then when the player uses it that player will begin queuing for a plot (just like how login queue works), player can see how many players queue in front him by using the in-game timers.

Whenever there is an empty plot is available the game will send a mail to the first player of that queue, that player will have 24 hours to answer the mail that he can either chose to purchase that plot or if that is not the plot he wants then he may pass it for the next player (if possible its also a good idea to let the player chose what specific condition to queue for). And maybe the game can detect if the player receives the mail while online that mail will only have about 2 hours to answer so it could queue a bit faster.

What do you guys think about this, because it's queuing so you don't have to do anything while waiting so this should prevent the situation right now that the player has to clicks spam in front of the placard I'm not sure if anyone had this idea before, this idea just pop out from my mind just now, I think even Ishgard is coming it's probably not gonna stop players spamming in front of the placard without sleeping for days.

They're working on a lottery system of sorts for Endwalker so i think that will help a good deal, at least in the sense of people not having to sit around clicking or using click bots to try and get a plot.

That is the best news I've seen yet. Thank god for a Lottery system. Trying to get a house is annoying. I rather lose by chance than lose by bots.

I know about the lottery system, just wonder if there is another better solution, because I don't really think the lottery system is the best solution for this, but we'll see.

The best would be buy a whole bunch of new servers and figure out a way to have so much server space for Housing that anyone can get a house if they wanted it.

That is the best solution well I think so anyway. lol

The only thing the lottery is gonna fix is the fact that housing is unreliable will no longer damage the players trying to get a house.
The problem with housing is the fact that it's unreliable. So a lottery does not fix the core issues with XIV's housing crisis.

Housing is only going to be fixed when we get fully customizable instanced housing. Interior and exterior. (preferably with an upgrade path from small to large, and maybe even different default layouts)

Should be good as long as players can't change overnship of the house without a new lottery. Or we will just end up with power users having multiple characters all bet.

Literally anything is better than a RNG lottery imo.

I agree. I can't get note 44 or 45 to drop for me lets hope housing isn't the same. Yeah right. Nothing like letting rng be your guide. Glad I own housing and don't have to deal with this can of worms that is about to hit the scene.
