Worst system ever. 7 hours i spent camping a spot and someone just waltzes in and drops their house.
Such an amazingly bad system.

It is definitely a horrible system. A lot of plots opened up today though so you do have a lot to choose from depending on your server. I'm on Midgardsormr and so many spots opened that they just keep going down in price now. Though I'm still waiting for the random timer to tick over on this plot been here for 5 hours now. Hasn't been any competition though for the spot at least. It's incredibly stupid though that someone could just relocate to here suddenly just because they feel like it. I don't get why relocation gets to bypass the random timer that nobody else can bypass. It's a system completely designed to be against new buyers. Anyone with a house already doesn't care whatsoever.

If you're playing this game with the expectation that you'll actually be able to get a house without being one of those bots who cheats the system or having done so BEFORE this timer system came into play....I have some bad news for you: it won't happen. You're better off cancelling your sub and uninstalling until probably 8.0.

I've actually managed to get *two* houses, a FC , and a personal without cheating the system. And have several friends who have too. Though to be fair, I'm taking about between Hyperion and Famfrit.

This is the other issue people keep having... They play on less populated servers then brag about being able to get a house and it's not so hard. Meanwhile the more populated servers have tons of issues going on. No matter what though the issues exist and need to be fixed... they took one problem (monopolization), fixed it (limited housing to 1 per account), but then made it infinitely worse (random timer)... I don't know what the thought process was there.
I don't think i have ever been so mad at a game before lol.

They should swap to a lottery system where you deposit the gil for the house and it gets returned if you don't win the house or implement instanced housing.

Hyperion is actually fairly populated. Its a legacy server with lots of active players. Its not high-pop, but it certainly isn't low.
