Placard walk of shame

[tsuchii]

Can we like claim the money from the timer? Or elsewhere? It's bad enough we didn't win the lottery with the other 500 people, it's annoying AND unnecessary to even be there to collect it. Please. PLEASE. Thank you.

It would definitely be better. Like myself yesterday, you have to do the sad stroll to look at the (in this case large) house now occupied by someone else.
The lucky winner was decorating the garden whilst I had to stumble up there in abject misery, shedding tears of hopelessness to announce my utter failure.
Ok that's a bit of creative phrasing, but you still have to go there with the current system.

It’s a great way to get people into housing wards and make them busy. People constantly complain their wards are empty. This fixed the issue.

What Walk of Shame? There's no shame in not winning a lottery.

[DeNada]

Yeah! Even when I lose the lottery, it's always great to see someone who won and is happily decorating the house.

I always go up to congratulate the winner if I happen to see him/her while collecting my gil. The walk of shame is just a negative construct and you can personally choose how to view the act.

Even during the placard clicking period, people still congratulate the winner despite having spent hours clicking on the damn placard so I don't see why it can't vr done here as well.

I never understood the labeling of "Walk of Shame", you lost a lottery. It's not a big deal.

maybe should not place all your eggs in one bag and bid on medium or large? Try and bid on what got the best chance and for those few extreme or over populated servers like balmung, travel away to somewhere else.

Over Population = Causes problems.

I see plenty of houses on other servers and on my FC's ward on Zodiark one placecard has been available for weeks now.

i doubt there’s any medium left on the OP’s server or any NA server.

Still I don’t understand why the op calls retrieving his gils the “ walk of shame”. It’s just a lottery.

Isnt that being updated this coming patch? The patch notes said that there will be an npc we can get our money back from. And if that's correct, they give us a poster on top of our money back for losing the house.

Lmao how does this keep a ward busy? People are just gonna run tf out as soon as they collect their refund, they probably don't want to see/interact with the winner all that much lol. Especially with stories about how the winner points and laughs at the people coming to get their refunds lol
