Phoenix can be quite a hassle to get a house on i must say.
At the other hand, i dont mind a little bit of "exclusivity" as long as its not abused (some servers do have people/FC's abusing the housing)
As player who arrived on Phoenix through transfer i had to get myself a new plot.
Did take me 3 nights with not to much sleep but did get a small plot so got that settled at least
Do have to agree in the night i saw my fair share of bots and macro's running around to try some quick housing grabs
