How do People Know Whenever there's a new Lottery?

[mauiestlauiest]

Jesus christ, relax. You should not be getting this worked up over someone trying to help you. Let's break this down.

It's literally hidden. There is nothing the game does to inform you of this feature before or after you've unlocked access to housing districts. No that's having a critical source of information be hidden and made impossible to find out on your own other than by sheer accident

Hmm... wow. I can't believe Square Enix totally didn't tell us where to find the Estate tab and how to figure out what period the lottery was in when they first revealed information on the lottery....

OH WAIT! They actually did.

What community? Disparate discord cliques are not a community

I mean are you really just upset you're not in a discord housing community? If you just simply google "FFXIV Housing Discord" there are several options you have to join, and all of them will be talking about the lottery. Anyways, "disparate discord cliques are not a community", absolutely not what I was saying. There are plenty of things in this game I have yet to figure out, that SE has not written down anywhere. How do you think people figure things out? They just ask people in major cities or even send /tells to ask questions. It's not hard. Also... isn't this a community as well? Why are you so stuck on discord cliques?

xD XD XD XD xD "HAHAHAHAHAHA you didn't know about the thing that is critical to finding out when a new lottery starts, which only me and other cliques know about but kept to ourselves to avoid competition and could never have figured out yourself through normal means HAHAHAHAHA" xD XD XD XD XD XD XD

LOL. Someone doesn't understand what sarcasm is, which I literally indicated by saying "(sarcasm of course)". I was teasing the whole housing forum attitude that most people have when new players ask questions but... go off....

Anyways, I have to ask every single time when the next lottery period is. It's not just you. I literally said that this is Square Enix's problem and they should fix that. It shouldn't be this way, but it is at the moment.

I severely doubt this.

You doubt that most people use the Timers feature??? Okay...

I'm reminded of why I don't talk to anyone in this game.

And this is probably why you don't know things that a lot of players know. I know most of what I know simply by /shout or asking other players for help, and not assuming they're all in a secret clique, conspiring against "woe is me".
