(Large Housing Problem) 177 Bids on One House

[Lusarae]

I wouldn't be against a cap of how many people can bid on a house. 100 is more than enough. You'd have at least one or two days to get that slot. It wouldn't help much but it would be better than nothing.

Cap is only make things worse. Is unfair to those who only ables make bids late in bidding period. All is doings by setting cap is to make Frankenstein hybrid of old system and new. Current lottery system is fair to ALL. Only peoples wanting advantage for themselves is ones against lottery.

THAT is not lottery problem. That is supply problem. By way, Mao has medium house earned by participatings in lottery. Took Mao many tries but Mao was persistent and gots luckys in end.

Yes and lottery is not helping in any way.

The biggest gaffe is that the housing system wasn't designed for any sort of longevity. If it was, all lots would basically be large size lots, and you could essentially buy the size house you want, and upgrade later without having to leave that lot. Sure, some lots might be more appealing that others, but being able to just upgrade your house would have gone a long way.

It was designed for longevity.

What it wasn't designed for is personal ownership and NA player housing preferences. Modern NA homebuilding tends to be huge and so that's what NA players want to see. In many other parts of the world, including JP, houses are more modest in size and so a mansion isn't necessarily the automatic plot preference.

I agree with this. I was around when the first houses went up for sale and there were a lot of people back then that were concerned about the system not being instanced. While I'm curious to see if they'll ever fix this, the fact remains that it's been a system for over 10 years now and I'm a little concerned that this won't be fixed.

So the question at this point is what can they do with the existing process? There was a rumor translation that Yoshi P was looking into internal upgrades, but literally no one reported on this fact so I question the translation.

Congratulations on winning a medium!

I won a Mist 29 plot after living in an Empyreum 3 plot for majority of the expansion.

Not the best plot in Mist but the view is still insanely good.



I bid every single week for almost a year on larger houses and kept losing every single week.

I tried for Mediums and Larges, my most gutted loss was a Shirogane Large, I was #3 and #2 won..


I got lucky a few weeks ago and won.

My wife won a small during the last lotto. Plot is not a sought after one, but its in the same ward as my personal. So she is happy and has no issue ignoring the lack of view.

It is probably the saddest I'd ever be when "you obtain 50,000,000 gil."
