Would a raffle system be that hard?

You got a point there. They'd probably have to do something at raffle entry to sift out the bots from the actual players from the bots without the constant clicking for hours for an invisible timer. As for what it should be, I don't know, cause the only thing that comes to mind is a random sequence of button presses displayed on a UI. But that sounds like it could be hard to program cause some are on PS, and others on PC, and they could have custom keybinds. And I also highly doubt that it would be a lasting defence against bots since their creators are cleaver computer engineers.

And I don't think relocation would have to crash anything if they also enter the raffle just like everyone else. Sure, their will definitely be complaints on the loss of efficiancy for relocation, but now everyone has a fair chance of getting the plot once SE finds better ways to prevent RMT and bots.

I know you posted on several of these threads, but I my tired brain can't remember if you voiced your ideas for a better house buying system before or not. Do you have any other ideas?

The house shortage is more an illusion, than what it seem, if you look at wards, then often you see most of them is ghost towns, some further requirements could be set in place, to be able to keep a house, in form of a monthly upkeep, aka paying rent... large 1million, medium 750K and small 250K per month, and that would go for both player and FC houses, not having enough gil in your inventory, and you will get a 72 hour eviction notice, in which you can of course pay the rent, including an additional fee as for being late to, just a suggestion.
