Great post! Thanks for writing that up - I agree 100%.

FYI: I play on a PC, wanted a small lot for a personal house. I got the lobby server error and had to restart my client. Finally got logged in - 919 people ahead of me. wait wait wait. Went to ward 8 sub-division, lot I wanted was gone. Went to ward 10 - that was gone too. Ran over and bought the first alternate lot I could get to - whew.
I then just went from ward to ward - by 3:20 am it was over - nothing was left.

Our FC didn't get one. Nothing was available by the time they got there. We are unhappy.
