The lotto winner.... number ZERO? Are you serious???

[Ignessia]

I think maybe Yoshida doesn’t want us to have a 100% chance of winning, so we absolutely need to have concurrents on the plot to count it as a true lottery.
So at least 2 people for individual houses and 2 FC for FC houses.
So you cannot start at 100%, 50% at best. That’s a terrible management and they could have told us that.
I’m really pissed of.

This would be ok if there was a shorter time window for lottery stuff. The lottery circle taking more than a week in total would mean empty houses for many weeks.

Its already being admitted its a bug.

How to tell everyone you don't read dev communication without actually saying it.

Honestly the ONLY way they can sort this and people be happy is to freeze the lottery system and reroll EVERY plot lottery that returned winner 0
then and ONLY then after that has been done continue with the lottery system
Not reopening the plots for a new lottery, not better luck next time, find every lottery that ended 0 and reroll it

It’s a theory, but honestly, I don’t think they can make a big coding mistake like this one ?
I’m on this game since 6 years and I truly want to believe this is a mistake but they are more capable than this, don’t you think ?
I’m lucky to have a small house but this is really crushing for a lot of people. Square knows the community cares about houses so why didn’t they checked their code better before release ?

Sorry if I sounded rude or something, English is not my primary language but if it is a bug, it is quite a BIG one.

It doesnt address the refund issue... if we took the refund, are we screwed?

See the issue with this response from them is it tells us nothing, it doesn't stop people worrying or clarify anything other than what we already know which is they messed up. How can they not understand that right now what we need is for them to tell us what they intend to do about the issue. How they fix the bug/error and what they look into regarding the cause is not our concern. Something as simple as saying 'All returned 0 results will be rerolled with the original bidders' or 'If you were the only bidder and it returned 0 you have won, we just need time to implement it, thanks for your patience'

Also doesnt address the fact that most people reclaimed their gil after they saw that they "lost"
