The lottery system is severely flawed, even worse than the old system. The only upside to the lottery system is that you don't have to spam click on vacated plots but the upsides end there. Supply does not meet demand so once Ishgard is completely taken and there are no plots left it'll be like a swarm of koi fish fighting over bread. 30+ people bidding on the same plot reducing overall chances for winning by a severe amount. Your chances were much greater at getting a house with the old system and that's an inarguable fact. I think several months down the road people will see that. Squeenix has to do something to solve the housing crisis in this game. We're not a niche MMO anymore.
