Its what a bunch of people wanted. Lets see how long it takes for those same people to call for something else.

So you think you know how we who have been advocates for the Lottery system are going to react? That we are going to start calling for something else if we don't get houses? Newsflash, sport, I and probably many others who are advocates for the Lottery, know full well that we are unlikely to get houses. The odds are just too great against us. However, those odds exist for EVERYONE and all that many of us have been clamoring for, was a FAIR system. The Lottery is it. I have never said that it was going to make people happy. I seriously doubt other proponents of the Lottery, thought that it would make people happy. It is simply the only fair system that can be put in place when supply can not meet demand. The only way to make people happy who participate in the housing system is to have enough housing to meet demand and until SE fixes THAT problem, there will always be unhappy people with respect to housing.

They're never going to fix it. We've had this abysmal system for over six years now and people still make excuses for it, regardless of the iteration. Even now people are praising this change as those it'll fix housing not actually realizing just how staggering low their odds are.

A fair compromise would have been the original FCFS and lottery like they originally were going to do.

I have no doubts that the people who have championed this system will be happy with it. Its gonna be down the road a couple of months when all the houses are taken and those people who fought for a lottery system are still without a house because of RNG will people start to show there discontent.

I'll say that the lotto system is just a little bit fairer and a whole lot healthier than the FCFS only system that we had before but there's one glaring system that could solve the whole housing problem and its on Papa Squenix to pony up the money to make that happen.

They could make housing instanced and everyone could get one and players would still complain. There is no perfect system.
