The housing system is trash!

Is this another my DESIRED plot is not available so there's no houses thread? Yep Ward 25 in Goblet yet again loads of houses available no bids.

Ward 25 is an FC only Ward.

Yes realised that on another post. Just checked the personals and I stopped counting at 30 smalls and at least 5 mediums showing and of the two random (m and s) ones I checked both have no bids

Smalls are less desirable too, especially for a big FC you have to keep that in mind.

I doubt there are any large FCs stuck in a small except by choice. They don't form overnight and have plenty of time to acquire a medium if not a large by the point where they truly need the extra room for FC gatherings.

For relocation, personally I think relinquished plots in a claim cycle should be free to relocate to.
Currently, if someone relocates, their old plot sits vacant for 4 days before it even re-enters the lottery cycle. 4 days of complete lockout, can't even be bid on.
These plots that would otherwise be locked out, should be have a 'relocation exemption', so that those who want to move, and shuffle about in those 4 days of the claim period, and like a real life housing chain could just keep relinquishing and relocating along. This would speed up the process for those who are relocating, while not impacting the lottery process for those who placed bids in the bidding phase.

Wish they’d do this… I’d already be home by now! lol it just feels so slow, especially when you’re losing every lotto, having to wait for the next to come around is excruciating…

Well, the obvious takeaway is that it was never actually meant to be a waiting list in the first place. Relocations were ostensibly meant to be a convenience offering rather than an end unto themselves. And, well, it's pretty silly to characterize "get literally any house and then be the first one to arrive" as a 'waiting list' in the first place.

Like, regardless of how anyone feels about it or whether or not it's a good thing, it's extremely clear that the intent is for there to be no difference between veteran players and new players in terms of accessibility.
