Housing problem/solutions

[docvontod]

Of course there is no possible 100% guaranteed solution, but random timers is not beneficial for anyone and only promotes more botting. Random timers inhibits and limits gameplay.

Proposed alternatives:
1) A lottery system: Housing posts open up and stay "visible" for a certain period of time. At this time you can click on the post and submit your ticket. After the time period a ticket is drawn at random and awarded to that player. The tickets can have a "bad luck" protection to increase chances after a while (potential benefits and issues on that). This allows players to put in their interest and continue playing the game. Tickets could be purchased through the housing vendor, at current market price and only one ticket would be available for purchase/possession at any given time. Once the ticket is released, upon actual purchase of the house, the character could then purchase another ticket for available fc or private purchase house.

2) Houses should not devaluate when the market demand is high. Limit the timer to a set duration (i.e. 4 hours). Houses should only devaluate if their aren't any interest in the property. I also think clicks on the sign post should reduce the "non-visable" timer, if that system will continue to be used.

Just thoughts in my head of how to help the system.
Thanks,
