There is a lot of demand for housing, yet very limited supply.
In this situation, it would make sense to price the housing very high, so people have an opportunity to work towards it (e.g. 150-200mil for a large house).

Instead, housing prices have been dropped to a point where pretty well everyone can afford them. As a result, upon release of 3.3 there will be a mad rush for houses. Everything will be sold within minutes. And people will probably rage about how they didn't sleep for 10 hours or missed work for nothing.

Why not allow people to get houses through effort, rather than sheer luck, or ability to sit around for 10-15 hours camping a login server?

Or, create a bidding system for housing.
Or, create a random drawing for housing.

The current system just seems unfair, and poorly thought out.
