Why Housing Was Doomed To Fail

[ssunny2008]

Basically the current system is the same as before, you just don't have to spend your whole life clicking on the placard, system chooses who wins and thats how it is, back then youd have to keep on clicking and when the server decides that the house was available to purchase one lucky person gets the house, I honestly don't see much difference from this to the lottery system.

The new one is worse.

Before you had atleast the chance to find a house here and there with noone on it, or atleast 2-3 players. Of course on highly populated servers it might´ve been like 10 players clicking 24/7 on it, but the new system? The more and more houses are gone, the more poeple will bet on the left ones. In the end you gonna have 100 or even 1000 bids on it.

I would actually prefer sitting a whole night here smashing buttons and having a tangible chance on a house instead of gambling with a 0,1% chance because i wasn´t able to get a house week 1, especially when you have to wait like 10 days for a new bid just to be mad at the end once again.

The chances to be together on the same ward with your friends / partner-fc decreased drastically with it too.


EDIT: Imagine they would´ve finally added an anti-cheat system against bots / clickmacros and other software. That combined with "you can´t relocate" and fc restrictions... it would´ve solved a lot much better than this.
