FC owning 12 plots

A lottery may fix this true, but it would not take care of the housing shortage since demand is much higher now that a lot of WoW players came over. And I doubt many of them will go back to WoW in the long run....this is a joke and I fear the lottery is SE's way to combat this behavior but I fear that in the process they seem to forget that this still does not solve the problem...

The lottery is being put in place only because SE doesn't want player's to HAVE to click a placard for hours and hours. We don't have enough information at this point on how it's going to work exactly. Plus, the lottery is being installed on SOME wards not all of them. There will still be wards that are first come first served.

When it comes to the players that are grandfathered. Before any rule was implemented or housing became popular these players spent millions of gil in a totally legal way. SE is not going to take away something from a player if they followed the rules at the time they obtained it. You may not like it, it may not be fair with the amount of supply. But if i spent that much time and gil buying and decorating and it was taken away from me because someone else felt entitled to it, then I would be pissed.

The lottery is a band-aid and a bad one at that because the odds of you getting a housing will be even lower. Best of luck.
