Housing is the biggest load of crap

[Solowing]

i dont get why we have a weekly lotto system , when we had the clicking system it was a daily option when a house was available. why cant they make a lotto system with the first day, it became available it becomes optional for bids and the next day for results. give it a 24 hour from when it come available. instead of waiting a week to find out you have lost.

and add more ward for high population data services, because having over 100 bid on one plot is just a joke, waiting a week for 99+ player to be disappointed

Because the players who didn't have a lot of time to be on or login often or spends alot of time away from their game wanted to be accounted for. So S.E designed the lottery system the players themselves asked for and suggested many times.

So the lottery allows as many people as possible to part be able to partake in the system. Increase accessibility equals greater competition. Since everyone can partake in the system now rather then being lucky enough to find a open plot. So your chances are actually higher if you don't have a lot of time to play. But lower if you already have the time to find one in the wild

Players didn't like the idea of no lifers with more time to play than them scooping up plots. So the Playing field had to be leveled so Johnny with 15 minutes to play a week would also have his fair chance at a plot as well.
