Implement a lottery for house plots

[Crysten]

What? I am not sure you understand with what I even posted. It will lower the odds to those who can make that window of time to log in and attempt the rush. What it basically does is expand that window out for a longer period giving more people time to put in their bid.

More people bidding for the same thing = lower odds of success...

I know you're on Balmung (and a Mancat) but do try to keep up.

The only discussion that should be happening regarding housing right now should be "when are they going to realize that instancing is the only realistic way to make everyone happy?"

Not "what is the best way I can get an advantage over those nasty other people who already own houses?"

But yet by your logic that would actually make things worse. If we are going by what you are saying less people having a chance for a plot is a better system. Not sure what being on Balmung has to do with such a silly narrow view of things but I guess a emotional response beats no response... Or does it. Hmm. Yes I do agree the only real discussions should be regarding the current situation on housing at large. But frankly for four years it has not changed for the most part and I am not sure if it will ever change. Until then a system that gives EVERYONE a chance with a larger window to log in and make your bid in a week time is more fair then what we have. Some caveats will exsist and that is why a meaningful discussion for possible methods to make things more fair with what we got beats the midnight gold rush.

I also see you're a selective reader, which only goes to re-enforce my silly, narrow point of view.

Let me quote my main point again, since you missed it the first time:

Not "what is the best way I can get an advantage over those nasty other people who already own houses?"

Sure, let's have a lottery that everyone has access to which solves nothing bar the time people wake up tomorrow and will still piss everyone off instead of saying to SE, "hey guys, how about you guys change the system so EVERYONE gets a house?"
