Stop complaining. You wanted this.

And yet, if housing were instanced a lot of people chasing a floppery ticket wouldn't bother. No FOMO then.

It's just because it's rare that so many people want it. The flopperies biggest fault will always be that non-invested players end up winning then working out that decorating is time consuming, expensive, and difficult - and that gardening is boring and not the road to riches they imagined - and that will cause more never used houses.

I want it BECAUSE I like decorating lol. I spent enough copium on deco'ing my friends house and using their garden to play around with :P

if you're so desperate to get a house, move to new datacentre. You should see empyreum on Materia lol. 3 houses per ward occupied on Bismarck and even less on Zurvan.

You heard it here first, folks. Just ditch all your friends and move to a dead DC so you can sit in your brand new house that nobody visits.

I'm unsure if my opinion even matters considering I bought my house since it was first released. I earned my money through spirit binding at Urth's. I do like the lottery system! Just that for FC's, I don't think it's fair that we are allowed multiple entries from one FC. At this point, it's basically, "May the richest FC win". To each their own though which is respectable because I'm one of those that don't want instance housing for my personal main. Everyone has their own cup of tea on what they want our Dev Team to do...

But what I want to see are:

1) PENTHOUSES!

2) Indoor gardening for apartments!
Like an actual way to cross breed plants and not these potted vases.

3) Increased slots especially for smalls and their yards!
Because I think their capacity is quite unfair. Decorating a small's yard can sometimes be irritating when you just need to add that "one more items" as a finishing touch, but I can't.

4) Better house skins.
God forbid side entrances like the Goblet and Lavender Beds. For example, the lovely Cafe walls.

5) And last but not least, the ability to move the "planted" stairs inside our houses?
Let me explain. I love my medium and I don't want to let it go, but ffs, I can't stand decorating sometimes with this staircase to my right as soon as I enter. It's just in my face and in the way.

Oh and of course, the thing I said about the FC lottery.

6.1 isn't even here and the salt is coming in droves. Clicking the placard was horrible it was. For us homeowners that got past it. Congrats boys we now get to watch them complain about the lottery system. I have seen a number of threads begging for a lottery system and now they have given it to you and you still complain. This is exactly what you wanted. Real housing OGs know that simply clicking buy was the best shit in the world. We could have begged to have gone back to that but instead you wanted lottery. Well when 6.1 drops you'll have it. Good luck. Odds are you'll win the cactpot before you win a house. inb4 someone says clicking the placard was better.

We asked for a lottery system. We did not ask for them to also limit player housing to 20% of all plots...

[Solarra]

I certainly did not ask for this. I foresaw most of the current issues (not the horrible bugs, I admit), and I expected a lot of unhappy people to be the result. And here we are.

It gives me no pleasure though.

I cannot understand why the devs are so determined to make the ward system work when even the most mathematically challenged person can see that the wards are never going to deliver enough houses for those who want them. Instanced housing alongside the wards would be a decent solution. And until we get a solution, I am going to continue to complain.
There are other games that have managed housing so much better. Why our devs seem set on putting band-aids on this flawed and broken system is something I just cannot understand.
