Its been a decade of the same problem. the supply and demand is just so damn bad.
Ive literally been bidding once a week for 2 years and still have not won. im not asking for a specific plot. im asking for any. ive been bidding on the lowest amount of bids house. I make a spreadsheet each week to keep track. An example of last weeks supply and demand on medium houses. there were 2 medium houses up for bid. there were over 900 bids between those two. having a supply and demand of 1 to 450 is just so dumb.
The argument about the community or neighborhood feel is moot. I have not once seen a single person in a ward in a literal year.
Square really needs to introduce instance housing. or Letting people upgrade their plot sizes. for example if you have a small house. If you pay the gil for a medium and then a large if they so choose then they can. Its really demoralizing losing week after week after 100 weeks
