This new SYSTEM DOESN'T Work

The new system is good in theory, except when EVERY PLOT ON HALICARNASSUS GOES TO PEOPLE WHO SNIPED IN ON THE LAST SECOND and they also don't even let you re-opt to an uncontested plot when someone decides they must have yours in particular.

Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating when it happens, it makes me wonder if those people are actually after a house or are just trolls who go after the 1 house with a bid in the area. First Lottery of the new worlds I had the only bid for about a day and lost to #2 because someone came by and sniped it at the last minute, while all the plots around had no bids. I didn't think random smalls in lavender beds were so hotly contested either.

I mean....if someone wins and chooses to pass on collecting the house; does it go to the next person (as it should) or just return to the pool for next bid...if its the latter; then a rich person willing to eat the penalty could really punish folks and just lock down the plot for months.

It's unfortunate, but a lot of people wait to the last second to try to make sure they bid on something with the best chance for them to win. It's not a conspiracy. Had a friend end up with that issue, though thankfully he won his. Someone else I know lost out to a last minute bidder. It sucks, but it is what it is.
