They also have a way better chance at getting carpal tunnel syndrome. On more popular servers there were like 20 people on an empty plot at all times. It's terrible for mental health too stressing out about people showing up and your chances getting lower. And not knowing when the plot is going to open just encourages unhealthy behavior like staying up all night, as you keep thinking it's going to open soon, can't go to the bathroom because it'll be gone while you're away, can't go eat or get a drink. I can't believe people are out here defending that system. It might have given you a better chance at a plot if you're willing to sacrifice your time, health and sanity for it, but NO ONE should be made to go through that for a damn ingame house! At least with the current system you don't have to just sit there and spam a placard for 16 hours straight, you can actually you know, play the damn game.
