Housing!! Do you Like the New Way?

I admit i was wrong and SE actually did the right thing by correcting the issue and giving everyone their deserved win / plot. (But they also need to open more wards to single / Individual / non FC members wanting a house)

I lost to a lottery, got my money back and it doesn't seem like i can enter a new one for now :/ Maybe i'm bugged ?

Per lodestone, it was announced that all lottos are frozen until they fix the bug.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, didn't read that.

Nope. The system was dogshit, and replacing it with a different piece of dogshit does not make it not dogshit.

It's ok, I had no real problem with the old way, aside from not being a fan of having a competitive system for housing.

Housing still has the same problem, too little supply so I couldn't care less about how we get a house.

Yes, lottery is so much better than placard clicking since it respects the players time more.

Also, I remember those people who were doom mongering about how lottery is like trying to win the jumbo cactpot and there will be hundreds or thousands of entrants per plot.

Turns out that there's about less than 10 entrants per plot on average, even for personal plots. Turns out that their predictions are ridiculous and we have not heard from them since.

I am currently for the lottery system (at least compared to how it was), however, you have to keep in mind that each server just had 1,440 available houses dumped into their laps and so people were able to be far choosier to increase their chances of winning. This would be reflected in most lots having a small number of bids.

We'll have to see how the FC wards pan out, but assuming things do fill up in full, only a small amount of homes will be available during future lotting cycles, and this is when we'll probably start seeing the crazy amount of bids per lot. Time will tell on that.

it's still early for me to say how the lottery system is as it is not working as intended.

I like the new system, this from someone who was affected by the 0 Bug. The better question is, "Is there enough availability for everyone interested in housing?" Obviously there is higher demand than there is supply for housing. Apartments, while nice, do not truly address the current demand as even a cottage size house has greater appeal than an apartment.

This post is about what you think of the way they redid the housing system. "Lottery"

Now I see some good points in this system. it's not a first come first serve anymore. which gives the people that are not able to make it a chance to play the Lottery. To me that is the only Good i see out of this new system.

Now this is Just My Opinion, but i think they still should have a waiting period like they do now for when you buy a Lottery Ticket. But instead of a Lottery it should be a "Silent Bid Auction" Now you only get to Bid Once. The minimum would be what the house is listed for, and the max is up to the buyer. Whoever has the highest bid wins the Lot. Like i said that's just my Opinion.

The other thing is that they should put a waiting period on buying personal housing. Free Companies should get about 2 weeks to be able to get there Housing first. My reason behind this is that some players have multiple characters and they each have they're on house. So, to semi prevent that from happening is why i stated the above comment about FC gets first choice for 2 weeks before players can buy personal housing.

Another way to help out with the housing System for SE to just add some more Housing Wards.

Let me know what you think on the New Housing System as well as My Idea.

Thank You.

No that won't work because gold sellers and 1 Person FC's will just buy up everything like they have. We are tired of seeing on many servers now entire Wards are owned by one person and their alt accounts.
