I personally don't like a system that completely relays on rng and takes all the power away from the players. At least when I got my first house in SB I worked for it by making a plan and waking up early the morning when the new ward was unlocked for private buyers. I was rewarded for that hard work. Unlike now where it doesn't matter how hard I try to move my house I'll most likely still lose bc rng wasn't in my favor. To me, that feels a whole lot worst. Yesterday I went all day feeling depressed and hopeless bc I lost the plot I bidded with the lowest amount of ppl. How is that any better for my health? My day ruin bc of rng.. I still feel depressed today.
Feeling depressed over pixels is not even in the same ballpark of sacrificing your health. And yes, the system forced people to do that as it made it the most effective and only way to guarantee a house, and if you didn't, you didn't get a house, unless you were insanely lucky and stumbled across a vacant plot at the right time, which is no different to tackling the lottery RNG.
Btw, you weren't rewarded for hard work, you were rewarded for having a decent connection to the server.
Lottery RNG might be annoying, but it is FAIR, everyone has the same chance.
With the housing demolition timer back on and running again, lotteries are back on a regular cycle. If you didn't win one this time, try again net week.
