Stop asking for more wards

On a related note.

Stop suggesting a lottery for housing! I've seen this idea multiple times today and it's utterly revolting in every possible way. Besides, the last thing the game needs is more blasted RNG (yeah yeah, MMO blah blah RNG blah blah... but there's a line)... in fact, the dev team love putting RNG layers on top of RNG layers so much I could see it being implemented in a truly nightmarish and sinister way.

How about an auction system instead? Each plot has a minimal starting bid, players can cast one bid lot and have only one bid lot active per paerson and bid to their hearts content on the plot. At the end of the auctions time frame, highest bidder wins the plot.

In every auction system ever, it will all boil down to the "last minute rush", which will be no better then the rush we just had with Shirogane. In fact it'll cause an absolute amount of drama when Jonny thinks he's got the house, but in literally the last second Timmy outbids and wins. Ranked PvP is the same way really. It's all about that "last minute rush"

I know, but is it really it really that worse off then what's in place now with the first minute rush? If auctions are staged plot per plot, say a couple this day and a couple the next day and so on. Server population could balance out. meaning no fighting login ques, no worry about lobby errors. server disconnects and instance crashes as thousands of people try to log in all at once. Less risk of trade canceler players trying to grief you since no one but you knows what plot you just bid on, assuming the auction is done at a npc and not the house itself. No running from plot to plot if you do manage to log on server up only to run from disappointment to disappointment as plots are scooped up. Lastly less of a chance of house flippers buying up multiple houses. Since at an auction the bid money is held in limbo till the auction ends. Flippers may get one or two houses, but they'll be fighting fairly against the players that really do want just one house for their own use in a arena wheres there's no set price.
