Suggestion: Shorten lottery timer

[Elevin]

I still know people that complain they don't have a house, even a small... when there were over 100 uncontested smalls in the private-buyer wards after the first lottery. No idea what they are bidding on. If they were bidding on larges against dozens of players but then complain they didn't get a small, you just can't help them.

As the second lottery closed, I was running around the Goblet yelling out in Novice Network all the smalls with 0 bids. Still... they went unpurchased until the 3rd lottery.

On my server, there isn't a housing shortage. If you wanted a small and didn't get one, in most cases, it was because you were lazy (didn't bid or just bid on the first one you saw) or got greedy (went for a medium or large). Get something so you can start placing some outdoor furnishings and enjoy some aspects of housing. Then when more houses open up, like after the next "purge" from auto-demo being back on, you can bid knowing that you still have a house to go back to when/if you lose.

The first 2 cycles since the new wards were implemented, the mediums i bid on, I lost to first time buyers, so a lot of them took their chances unfortunately on a medium rather than going for a small. They still haven't touched the houses...shows how interested in decorating they were. /o\
