If the opportunity was there for you (and it was there for all NA players a year ago) but you chose not to take advantage of it, that was your decision. Don't be dismissive of those who did take advantage of opportunity to get what they wanted just because you didn't choose to do likewise.
I guess I should clarify, that applies to any plot with more than one bidder, or clicker back in the days of placard clicking. The result of either system is RNG. As far as the server transfer goes, not everyone was around when Dynamis opened, but yes I remember all those who didn’t want to move. (Also add into that the 6 extra wards opened at the same time though, so those with established ties to their servers took a chance by staying and bidding on those.) If we had an instanced system they wouldn’t have to move, which was my point coming into the thread that instanced could also solve the problem of people not getting the size they want, let alone not being able to get a house at all.

Personally I ended up getting a small, which is the size I prefer. I just want the housing system improved so everyone can get what they want and have the same options.
