Housing is the biggest load of crap

[Crafoutis]

lol, the overlap between the "Housing is broken" crowd and the "I'll settle for nothing less than a Large" crowd is just a circle.

Also, they remind me of Dependapotamuses. Literally aren't engaged in the affairs of homeowners and never have been, but somehow think themselves the arbiters of how the system should work.

Get out of here, be gatekept.

Im not adverse to go for a small. i have said as much in other posts and threads. To directly say ''quote me'' saying i want a medium or large, was BEFORE they even said anything about the Tardis expansion they had planed... so Stop that.

So im not adverse for Smalls, meds, or larges. So that's my final word on that. so stop.

I don't want a small. I want to get a medium or large. That's that.

But i appriciate that you are trying to get me to buy a small.

So why do these two statements directly contradict each other?

I think people still fail to realize how difficult it is to even get a small in the first place… some people really do have awful RNG. I spent 9 months trying to go back to a small after I realized I wasn’t happy with the medium’s interior layout. 9 months!

My server generally has competition even for smalls. But when there’s a medium or a large up for bids, of course people go for it, because it’s a lotto. You have just as much luck winning one of those as you do for a small, so why not take a chance on what you really want when they open up so rarely? I only had the old medium at all because I got it under auto-relocation: if you saw an empty house, you could instantly relocate and bypass the placard clicking. And that’s why the old advice was always “grab what you can, you can always relocate later.” But you can’t do that anymore without auto-relo, you’re competing in yet another lotto.

I’m also pretty much done with the whole idea of saying “just transfer servers.” What they should have done when they opened new DCs like Dynamis was force new characters to be created there to populate the world. But they didn’t, even with the Xbox release, so those worlds didn’t get filled up as much they could/should have. We have lots of posts about how people regret transferring, because they might get a house, but they can’t run content on their home world most of the time to enjoy it!

I’m hoping the interior size remodel will at least give those that want to upgrade a chance to have the interior of their dreams at least. (And I’m biased but I think the yards and housing skins look better on smalls anyways. lol) But that still requires being able to get a small in the first place. An instanced option of some kind is long overdue.

Exactly.. it's what im trying to say. MY PERSONAL RNG is so bad. i have not won a single house since housing came out, the new one i mean... so how can i be a bad person for going for Med, or large, if even getting a small is harder then winning IRL lottery?

Why not aim for the plots nobody is bidding on?

No one said you were a bad person, but perhaps a bit delusional, since most posters here have at least multiple S houses, and I started 1 year later in ARR than you. The only world I know this would be struggle would be Balmung, and you're on Mateus, which before was considered an empty world in the beginning unless you only started bidding like a 3 years ago on M or L plots alone.

I'll let it go for now since you say you are willing to bid on small plots would mean bidding on any small plot regardless of housing zone, and that your RNG is indeed that bad.

I absolutely am willing to bid on ANY SMALL, MED, LARGE.

i just have a RNG that's worse than anything else. I mean i'm sure i have a better chance of getting struck singlely by a meteor IRL, than winning a house in FF. :x

There are really only few servers that are going to run into this issue, mainly because of the unofficially designated RP servers, and Brynhildr being one of them.
For example, I had a friend come back to the game last cycle, and he was able to grab a small plot in the Goblet on Leviathan without any competition at all.

Besides throwing around the “gatekeeper” label at anyone who doesn’t buy into his narrative, he’s got nothing, completely hollow.
The conversation has already moved on to the practical question of whether it’s smarter to grab a small plot first instead of wasting time endlessly failing on mediums and larges.
Yet here he is, clinging to his fragile claim like it’s his last breath of air.
It’s honestly hilarious
A sad attempt, but entertaining all the same.
Ignorance has become his virtue, especially now that every server has plenty of open plots.
Bravo.
