I have been looking forward to (planning my route, my skills, leveling classes like NIN) the FCFS Housing dash in Ishgard, and to hear it will all be Lottery is a huge disappointment. I would much rather have a few wards be FCFS, and then for whoever doesn't manage to get a house then, they can enter the lottery (since those will evidently last a few days).

To make every ward lottery, all releasing at the same time (or within a short time of each other) means that everyone will only get to try on one house, likely with hundreds of other people, and almost all of them will lose. At least with FCFS, if someone beats you to one house, you can try and rush to another, and still have a chance.

Please leave FCFS for some of us who really enjoy the rush, and who want to actually have a tangible chance of winning, instead of the statistics of going against you if you happen to choose the wrong plot to go for, especially since you can only try for one plot at a time. How will I know which subdivision has the least people entering on the Medium I want in Balmung?

Lottery is a fantastic choice for relocations in ANY ward, so that people don't have to camp for 4+ hours to even have a chance while competing against bots. I think Lottery belongs there FAR MORE than it does in any new ward drop.

Please give us some FCFS wards (even if it's only for personals because you want large FCs to have an advantage there).
