I would hate to see a lottery system - it's the ultimate RNG, and requires no effort whatsoever on the part of the player. I seem to recall years ago Yoshi-P characterizing housing as something that not everyone should have with little effort expended. So I would be surprised if something like this were ever implemented.

I agree that the duration of the RNG timer is too long - I would like to see it set lower than 4 hours actually. Devaluation doesn't really bother me either way.

As always, these are just my own opinions - yours are just as valid as mine!

Kindness and respect towards my fellow posters! <3
