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

It doesn't make it bad, it just opened housing up more than people realized it would.

Like Sairys put it, its easier to casually drop buy and drop a bid and check on it in a couple of days vs how it use to be when you had to guess window openings or stay and click all day.

I agree 100%, getting a 0.01% chance 3 times a month because the lottery cycles are extremely long and there are 150 bids on your plot is so much more fun than just camping for a few hours when a house comes up, what a blast

"camping for a few hours when a house comes up"


....excuse me but do you not HEAR yourself when you make such a statement?

"Hey Jimmy! how do you want to spend your precious time in FFXIV today?"
"Oh I figure to just waste my whole session just sitting in this one spot clicking this one thing"
"....I-I..mean...but what about the rest... of the ga-"
"No! This is funner"

Yeah...camping is sooooo much more enjoyable, get out of here with that nonsense...

So losing a house for months because there are 100+ bids on a plot is more fun ? You do you.

Yeah, because anything is better than not being able to play the gosh darn game, you know....the thing I'm paying a subscription for. What a great way to spend your time, clicking that one placard over and over again like a maniac.

Up to you to do it or not, you could also just stay homeless.

Thankfully we dont have ever have to do it "your way" anymore. If I can get a house in this game, more power to me, if I dont, there's no use crying over spilled milk now that the system is less stupid.




Keyword, being "less". This limited housing thing still sucks.

You mean the same system that leaves 99.99% of bidders homeless ? Sure, you have at it

This is the main selling point of the lotto system that I liked. Suffering carpal tunnel syndrome from trying to win a house only to lose to that random guy who came to click at last 15m, relocators, and/or exhaustion in general while also not doing anything else the game has to offer out of fear of missing the plot was one of the unhealthiest thing I ever did to myself. I stopped it after losing out 3 times.

I suppose what people didn’t expect was the influx players like myself: those who didn’t or stop bothering clicking the placard but wanted a plot for themselves. There are a lot of us.

Now if only they drop this neighborhood system and make housing ‘unlimited’… >_>
