After 4 months of consistently losing on plots I want, I agree that lottery sucks.

I put 2 weeks of hurting my wrist to win my small the week before 6.0 hit. I foolishly waited for the lottery to upgrade to a medium, vastly underestimating the demand for mediums. After 4 months of 9 day cycles of bidding and losing, this system sucks. I'm bitter because whenever a medium pops up now, it will have several hundred bids on my server.

And no, transferring to a different server for housing is not the solution. I would hope for the island sanctuary shitstorm that is about to hit (so many players are convinced it's their personal house) to result in great personal housing, but at this point I'm sure the dev team would give us the cursed monkey's paw solution. It's depressing as hell to read threads with similar titles/themes dating back to 2018 and realize the dev team has done fuck all to improve the system.

I could waste time providing suggestions for better housing, but I realize the devs won't read this, nor care. I think I'm done yelling into the void on this forum. Grats to those who won, but for those of us who have done nothing but lose, this system seriously blows.
