Large quantity of gil disappeared.

[Jojoya]

I wouldn't say it won't fix ANYTHING. Right now there's a huge time investment needed to even have a chance to get a house. You HAVE to camp. You HAVE to be there nearly the whole time. With a lottery you, supposedly, will put in a bid.. then hope. Go do whatever you want for the time the bid takes to resolve. It solves the problem where people would have to invest inordinate amounts of time to even have a chance of getting a house (it also might make house botting not a thing at all). It might still be frustrating, but at least it won't be crazily time consuming.

No, you don't. I know players who have recently gotten their houses without any camping or purchasing from other players.

The idea that you MUST is a fallacy caused by obsession and fear of missing out.

You could use your 1-time item recovery... not sure if it works on gil.

Also, this is why I keep all my extra Gil on my retainers so I don't use it by accident.

One time recovery is when you accident discard or sell one item, not to reverse "accidental" purchases.
