The HORRENDOUS State of Housing

There are better ways to take care of the housing system that were posted in previous threads. Implementing a RNG system for housing is the worst idea IMO.

It already is RNG based AND ping based. This idea is perfect, find 1 problem with it and I'll shoot it down.

No. Just because you aren't able to log-on at certain times due to work, etc. or log-on quick enough does not make it RNG. The idea you are portraying IS an actual implementation of RNG.

So, Random Number Generation of seconds until it can be purchased isn't RNG? Are you sure about that?

Rng combined with the number of players on some worlds trying to get homes. Add in how often and rare homes are on some worlds like Balmung, Depending on your luck you could still spend months or even years of trying to get a home. The random timer sucks but you have a lot of players who want homes but are not trying to get one. You a add raffle and you go from lets say 20 or so people bidding for a one plot to several hundred if not 1k people bidding for it.

Right, but we shouldn't want to replace an RNG based system with an RNG based system. That doesn't solve the underlying issue which is supply vs demand.

The issue that many people have is that spending upwards of double digit hours spam clicking on a placard only to either lose the RNG house buy to someone that showed up 20 minutes prior, or to have someone just up and relocate there before anyone can even manually buy the house, is both frustrating to no end and soul crushing when you've been at it for weeks/months/years on end. I would be completely fine with a raffle, even as someone that's notorious among her friend group for having atrociously bad luck. At least then I wouldn't want to off myself because of how tedious clicking on a placard for hours on end is.
