Housing: Purchase Timer - Alternative Idea

[Ittapupu_Berry]

The placard spam is bloody awful. I completely agree. But all that lottery will do is eliminate placard spam. It does not even remotely fix the actual problem which is housing availability, and it would introduce new problems of its own. We need more houses or a different housing system. Not rng that is riddled with intended and unintended favouritism.

Well we could have a broken system that allows people (who don't have 20 hours to spare) to get a house, or a system that only allows people capable of all-nighters to have one. I believe that bonuses to players should be looked over and approved by the game devs before implemented but the idea of a lotto vs current system is just picking your poison. I'd like the poison that gives more people a chance and allows players to play the game while house hunting.
Side note:we need more homes, we really do and that should be something to definitely hope for but in the mean time... improving (not necessarily fixing) a broken system would be positive
