May you have better luck in the future!

Man...I want to cry. I bid on a plot with only 2 bidders. I've been wanting a house for a year and half. I can't seem to win. One of this days, I'm gonna unsubscribed from this game. This is the only system I hate so much that it gives me extreme anxiety every week.

Dude just transfer to Dynamis or make a "house alt" on it. With exception of Seraph, the wards are practically empty. If you're getting legitimate anxiety over having a house... idk man, I would either exit that stuff entirely, or adjust your goals to be more attainable. Dynamis is pretty much free real estate, you just have to show up.

Telling people to move to Dynamis isn't a solution. Its like telling someone to move to the corn fields of Ohio or something because it has housing. Nobody wants to give up their FC, friends, etc to move datacenters even with DC travel being a thing now because its incredibly inconvenient.

It *is* a solution. It's just not a solution you like. There is nothing stopping you from going back and visiting your friends when you are not at your house, DC travel is a thing. Or just make an alt on Dynamis, it's quite easy to raise the 3 million to afford a house when it hands you 1 million for free, or you can just travel to your home DC and ask your friends to load it up. It does take a little bit of effort to get to 2nd Lieutenant, but it's not an especially onerous task.

The solution to the problem exists. If people don't want to go to the trouble of it, then clearly they do not want a house as badly as they claim to.

No one has to give up anything other than their old house when they transfer to Dynamis.

If your FC stops including you in their activities because you changed worlds to get a house, they're not a FC worth being part of.

If your friends stop being friends because you change worlds to get a house, they were never friends in the first place.

I've still been doing things with friends. Sometimes I go to them, sometimes they come to me. Data center travel has been annoying at times this week because of the patch but prior to the patch the longest wait I had to transfer was 3 minutes and 90% of the time it was under one. As soon as the initial patch hype wears off and players go back to their normal routines, travel times will decrease again.

If owning a house is that important to someone, it's worth making the move to get the house. If they won't move, then the house isn't as important to them as they make it sound.

Well; any not being able to EB with someone; and not being able to have a room in the FC house etc.

Thank you! I lost my favorite small to 2 other bidders. I've been bidding almost every cycle since it started, and I'm still looking forward to the next one. I have been somewhat picky, though, so it wasn't unexpected.
On the bright side, my FC was finally able to upgrade from our Goblet small to a LB medium, and I'm tremendously excited to see how it develops!

I won a house as a joke on my alt.

Better luck next time for 4 years here.

Welp, although I said I was going to go big and bid on a LB-41, I chickened out in the end and went for a LB small but someone else came to bid as well and won the coinflip. I'm happy for them though as the winner is from a RP FC and only entered to be in the same ward as their FC house.

Still I guess it's back to the Limsa sewers for me since that's my one decent chance on Balmung
