This is my point in it's entirety. Leviathan is very busy. There is not a lot of housing, and each placard I've been sitting at has at least 5-10 people clicking it until the late hours of the night.
We are trying to get an FC house. The past 4 days, there have been 6 plots available.
The first was relocated to. The plot that left behind was then relocated to as well. The plot THAT let behind didnt pop till 6am. The next was in the goblet, and didnt pop till 2am in which we lost again. The census you are speaking of there were 2 smalls available last night. One was won by a guy with a macro who didn't even know he won the house until 2 hours later. The second plot went from 2pm to 10:30 AM the next day, and was won by a person who showed up 5 minutes prior.
Another plot opened up today in the mist only to be relocated by, get this, the man who was botting the house last night.
These houses are pretty integral to an FC. Not only do you get a personalized space for the whole of your FC to hang out and relax, but you also get the access to personalized rooms, and the company workshop. So much so that we chose to merge our two FC's the other night just to have a better chance at getting a house. Fight together not against.
I don't find one single reason a player should have a personal *House* in this game. They server no functional purpose other than to be a spot for an RP experience or to be a hermit(or like a garden... lmao) Especially a single player owning a mansion. Like what are you doing with all that space lol.
Houses could very easily be made for FC only, as they are again, and integral part of the growth of an FC. They could spruce up apartments ten fold to let players who want a personal experience have this.
Even if that isn't an option, I would very much like to see something done here. It's an increasingly frustrating project to sit and click 15+ hours on a house just to lose to an RNG timer. D:<
