Wouldn't sign that at all, or at least being thaaat dramatically different.

Let's use some amateur's view. Of course you can make a very complex mathematical formular out of everything, but overall, the topic isn't world moving enough to really do so...

Let's start with someone being busy for 16 hours per day (sleeping, work, travels), which lowers the overall chances down to 25%, that the spot unlock right in their active moments.

Now we usually have 5-10 people camping a placard, which turns the own chances to 20 down to 10%. Of that remaining 25% from above already, as we don't even take the people in who are already camping during our offline times.

Now let a third of them using a bot, full automated keyboard macros or whatever possible stuff, giving them double to quadruple of chances against someone who does all manually.

So in my opinion, you'd need 100-200, maybe even more interested people to really lower the chances for a person with a regular schedule without more free time during free days or what so ever.
The biggest plus of the lottery is, we have to participate the click once and hope for luck. The luck that is already incredible low at the moment.
That's the only real thing speaking for the lottery. From all possible solutions it's the most stupid, but at least... well... it's something.


I'm trying my luck with a house on Lich for far over a month, with peaks of over 12 hours of camping per day if possible, and it indeed turned into really unhealthy moments.
As I like to spend my time better, and really love to decorate around, I'd take every solution that is coming around. But for the actual situation with the absolute minimum to no chance, I simply gave up.
