Stop complaining. You wanted this.

The current system actively incentivised the use of third-party programs, as well as frankly unhealthy habits like camping placards for 12 hours at a time.

I'm glad it's gone. and with a lottery system, I can at least put my bid in and go do other stuff, instead of standing around for 4+ hours minimum clicking a placard (riveting gameplay, I know!)/

And hey, if pure RNG means you don't get a property, then at least other players can commiserate alongside you, instead of having these endless complaints about 'third party' stuff (though I do still think a scaling tax to penalise house hoarding is a good idea).

I agree. Currently on my server, we've got one guy with 27 alts and every time a house pops up, at least one of them are there.

There also needs to be a reckoning with the sale of FC's. Word on the pixelated streets is that the plan going forward is to bring the interested buyer into the FC and in order to bypass the 30 day "timer", the seller will just delete the FC leader so the buyer simply "inherits" the FC and it's plot/house.

I know of a guy that did just that. Paid some amount of money for a large house. He joined the seller's FC, the seller made him lead, then the seller quit the FC. Done deal. Not great, but have seen it happen.
