Pity system for lottery

[Alltara]

I've joined every single lottery now and lost every single one, while i cant say im happy about it rng is rng in the end. But its been an entire year now of trying to upgrade from my small, and by now im getting really scared because as it stands there is no guarantee ill get it whether i keep doing this for one year or five years. As such i hope we'd get some level of guarantee for us not blessed by lady luck by adding a pity system.

I've lost 41 myself between personal and FC. It's just completely heartbreaking to have been trying since ARR for a house and constantly failing. People always say "Just transfer!" but you shouldn't have to sacrifice being on a server with your friends/FC just to get something that every other Modern MMO (That isn't ArcheAge or Albion online...who have/had the same problem) has had seemingly no trouble with.

Just outright double the amount of plots. Who cares if some stay empty? That means new players won't have to worry about it.

Your Pity system wouldnt work. Because you wont be the only one with your suggested "Bad Luck Protection" to enter the next lottery. There will be others with the same "Bad Luck Protection" which are going to enter your lottery. So its still making sense to let it be 1 ticket per Personal.

I have lost 30 consecutive cycles, and decided this was the final one. Tired of being homeless in game. I unsubscribed a few minutes ago.

Are you really homeless in the game? There are free inn rooms, FC chambers, and apartments. If you want to be really bold, I'm sure Daddy Manderville would let you sleep in The Gold Saucer.

How about that pity? People without houses have a prio before people that have a House already? :P
Would be great. Less crying then from the loss. More crying for the douches that cry about getting no House when they already own one :3

So you're not complaining that you can't get a house.

You're complaining that you can't get a better house than what you already have.

You're not going to get much sympathy. Most players would enjoy a better house and won't be able to get it.

You're also not going to get what you want through a pity system. Too many other players want the same thing and they've been trying just as long as you.

Apartments are homes, too.

If you came to this game solely for the housing, it was a poor choice in the first place.

Out of curiosity, what game are you switching to that guarantees you a home? I'm sure others who feel the same way would be interested in it.

I think the point is - if someone does not have a home and starts a week ago...and someone has a home and been playing for years it can be very frusterating for the week old to surpass the long time player because of the simple fact that random chance is exactly that.

Besides if she upgrades her home and the new player gets her old one - they both win.

Why not just get an apartment and be happy with that then? The person that moves still frees up a plot for another person.

The exact same reason why giving "new characters" priority is a horrible idea.

You would give all of the houses to bots, meaning you'd still not get anything. As of right now, home owners and players looking to buy are on the same level. Both need to play Lottery Roulette. There isn't a "bonus" or positive to Home-owners with Relocation. There WAS Relocation capabilities, but people took advantage of it just to be antagonizing, so we all got slapped on the wrist.

As for "more crying for the douches"? You probably should take a step back. Sure, people may already have a home, but it could be in a plot they don't like. There's a reason people prioritized the lower rungs of the Goblet when Placard was present. They'd buy the plot, then immediately relocate to a more appealing spot.
