Broken Lottery, Please Rollback

[DamianFatale]

If the people who won faced against the number zero, and their number was selected, technically they won fair and square. A person won, not loose data that shouldn't have been there in the first place. No one who actually won a house should have their house relinquished. I have thought low of these forums before, but I have never thought people would stoop this low, and hope for other peoples houses to be relinquished. I'm for adding more housing for every player, but this comes off entitled as heck, and isn't the way we're going to solve the problem as a community.

We can do better than this. Blame the problem at hand, and not the people. I know its a bitter subject, but try to be happy for those who got houses. We have been trying just like you. I hope you get yours next time, and I sincerely hope they add more personal houses than just these FC plots. The update was not geared well toward at least those in North American Data Centers. We don't need as many FC houses as Japan does. Hopefully they'll double the amount of wards in the future, and roulette off the spare FC house plots that don't get claimed. Just leave our houses alone. I have been fighting for a plot since Heavensward was relevant. I know many others who have been fighting to. I hope we all get our chance. Believe me, but put your salt in a better place.

That is assuming the bug is simply the RNG rolls 0-10, instead of 1-10.
From what I've read on Lodestone, it's a major issue and the problem involves lottery conditions.
Therefore it's not simply rolling zero as additional participants, but some participants that should've been there might not be counted due to failing to meet the condition.

Even if this did end up being the case, they'll acknowledge the mistake, apologize and may go so far as to rush in additional plots. They won't, however, rollback the entire system due to it having a far greater impact on more players. It isn't as simple as flicking a switch and everything returns to exactly as it were fifteens before the lottery resolved. If that were even a conversation, they'd have already announced it.

well let me just clarify this. a ZERO was never intended to win, that theory some people are spouting here, that somehow SE intended for some houses to be unclaimed, just no, even SE cannot be this retarded. In support of this, you can see multiple posts on Lodestone when they are saying that the zero win was unintended and they're addressing it. Jeez, worse disinfo than twitter on here! lol

Yeah, there's no reroll because the lottery results are fair. The zero results are due to a communication issue between the lottery and housing servers, not an unfair lottery result.
