Will lottery destroy or fix housing?

[Droxybrobotnik]

So, I'm really trying to understand exactly what is gonna happen once they implement the up and coming housing lottery. Before I go on, most people probably know that getting a house is already a lottery, you camp a plot and click the placard with a bunch of other people, of whom most are running a clicking script. Thing is, currently you are in a lottery with 20-40 people every time, but from what I hear the lottery system will make many more players than that involved, meaning your already low chances dip to super low. I'm wracking my brain trying to understand how this is better?

The community have actually put a lot of effort into making the awful click placard system work, the aforementioned script, housing alert servers, charts displaying peak chance times on a case to case basis, but now its apparently going to be torn down to be replaced with even lower chances lottery, a downright degradation of what we currently have. I don't want this system to suck, I want it to be good and help people who have amassed a lot of money to one day get a good home, like me. But all I see just makes me lose hope...

Not really sure why any1 would be against the new system or favors the old one.
It kills bot users and housing flippers... its a win win situation.

[Droxybrobotnik]

If by bot users you mean ppl running scripts then that is because it was the only reasonable way of getting a house. I don't mind them fighting actual bots and house flipping, but reducing the chances of getting a house to much worse than it already is feels like it creates a bigger problem then any that it solves.

Neither it wont change anything at all

it will legitly only be a band-aid that will only last for 2 months tops until a new cut opens up the stitchs

Its based on luck which is fair for everyone and make housing to be more assessible since everyone can just register, put the gil with No big amount of wasted time or large number of spam clicker required, just register and sleep soundly at night

It's going to be rivers of salt in about 4 weeks from now, when the entirety of Balmung is entering for the single small Goblet 52 that came up in the previous 9 days, and a level 2 character wins it.

I got my both houses during plot release and it was significantly easier if you dedicate enough.
Pick your target wisely, avoid so called “dream plot”; plan your route and practice the travel few times
Set alarm clock 1 hour before maintenance is completed; line up, go to the plot and click on placard; done then go back to sleep.
Now?
I wasn’t intend to participate if it is still on FCFS because my chance is fairly low with medium or large but this time I may actually give it a try on large

u know u can get a house irl 500x easier than u can in game hell u can get ur dream spot house if u got the cash way easier irl

It will make housing possible for most players who won't/can't spend 12 hours straight camping a open plot.

It will endlessly piss of people who already have houses, because they are no longer special. They will have to compete with everyone else once again.
