Housing Lottery Disadvantage with possible solution

[Themarvin]

Although the current housing lottery system is keeping the bots down, it still is a bit of an unfair lotting system concerning Free Companies.

As it stands now, a single free company can place multiple lots on a single plot if membership has permissions to do so.

This makes it a bit unfair to those who may not have as many members capable of using their own gil to purchase the plot.

To explain further:
Free Company A has a membership base of 200 which all can place a bid. However, Free Company B has a 100 membership base that only 3 have the funds to lot. Both can use a large house due to membership numbers. The difference being, 200 lots for one free company vs 1 lot for another. I consider this an unfair advantage.

I do suggest, however, that only 1 (one) entry per Free Company Per lot and only one person should have said permission, and that person should be the Free Company Leader.

While talking about housing, as large houses seem to be in demand, why not add more larges to the next round of added wards? OR, split the next set of wards evenly with Smalls, Mediums, and Larges? OR, again with new wards, replace the regular and sub wards with sections and make 3 sections: Section 1 - Larges, Section 2 - Mediums, Section 3 - Smalls.

Again, grateful for the lottery system, just feel it needs tweaking.

(Just a little additional info, My FC has a membership base of a little over 200 members. Wanted to add that so everyone knew I wasn't complaining due to personal membership numbers. I like to be fair all the way around.)

You can't have 4 alts in your FC bidding on a house, it is one lottery ticket per account.

Maneged getting an upgrade from a small to a medium with 1 ticket, for my FC.

That is correct but, if you give permissions, your FC members - not alts - can bid.

Grats on your upgrade!^^

No it's not. It's one per character assuming purchase restrictions are met. I was able to place bids with multiple alts in the first lottery period.

Could have 2 or more accounts and with each one could create up to 8 characters and have them all bid on same plot for a better chance. I don't think lottery system is very good.

The lottery is probably set up about as well as any purchase system could be.

It's not how we purchase that's the problem. It's the supply that's the problem.

People need to focus attention on what's causing the lottery to even be necessary in the first place.
