So, what now? Lotteries with 150+ bids until... when?

i will believe you there xD number is already too high, for me to even comprehend why would anybody keep participating in the lottery !

We keep playing the lottery because we dont have a choice currently. I have no doubt somewhere in the future things will change again, but we are stuck with this for now. This system cant possibly last. The same players that made bots to click placards are the same players that will make LOTS of alts and extra accounts JUST to have extra bids. They didnt solve anything. They just traded in one flawed system for another tbh.

Neither system is the real flaw. They both work in their own ways.

The real flaw is in the limited supply that forces SE to resort to such systems in the first place.

The moment everyone has a house, the feeling of having a house dies off.
I like it the way it is, they just need to re-enable the timer and drop it to 30 days.

Basically this, housing is unique because the supply is limited and you feel happy when you actually do end up getting one, if every single person had one, it would lose its "flavor"

Perhaps that's how the two of you feel because you both value prestige and exclusivity over being with people having fun.

Some of us value people having fun. I don't care if someone else has what I have. It would not matter to me if everyone else has a house. the flavor doesn't come from having something others can't get. The flavor comes from the content itself.

I want everyone else to be sharing in that enjoyment if it's content that interests them.

Because there is still a chance, that is why there are so many bids. People believe they might win, regardless of the odds.

Gil is also completely worthless in this game so you might as well

Because if people stop participating then SE will think noone else needs a house.

150+ ? hihi your cute

thats like what 0.25% chance of wining at this point ? lol

had a medium lottery last week that had 367 bids. Saw a person post on here that one medium lottery had 650+ bids on their server. The current small im bidding on is ONLY 52 kek

The current small im bidding on is ONLY 52 kek

you had the same idea as i did xD, there is another medium on the server with similar bidding, and went on bidding in a nice small plot, 2 medium bids exceed 600 in total now, me and my small 5 bid only xD

The odds aren't in my favor enough, change it.

So, to like... state the obvious, every lottery from here on out is going to be very long odds of winning.

Like... 150-1 odds or much worse.

Is this really the system you envisioned to 'solve' the housing problems? How exactly is this better than clicking a placard against FAR LESS than 150-1 odds.... or worse.

How about keep adding wards to every housing district until its nowhere close to 150 or more people bidding on a single plot. Whats the excuse... spaghetti database issues? I'm not asking for a plot for everyone but 150, or worse, bidding on a single lot... shouldnt be left as the standard either.

Until the next expansion that releases a new housing district.

Welcome to reality, not everything is handed to you on a silver platter.

If you want a house, head over to materia, theres about 1000 free houses there.

It's like people aren't actually paying for a sub. The fact is that for some of us, that sub gets us considerably more than other people get, I find that hard to justify.
