So I managed to finally get to 3 and a half million gil. A plot in Hyperion's Shirogane, 2nd Ward, plot 35 popped up, and I had the money for it. I go to buy, and it's 'not ready for purchase.' Apparently it's a measure to prevent resellers and RMT, okay, fine. I wait.

And wait.

And wait.

I meet some people there, who are really nice. Heck, one of them wanted to transfer but decided not to because I didn't have a house period.

Yet, three hours into waiting, this random player comes up, doesn't even say hi, the timer isn't even up, and he runs up to the placard, and there's a house there in seconds. Not even a sign that he bought it, just that he bought it.

I wasted three hours - and others waste more - of gametime when we could be doing a million other productive things only for someone who already had a house just skip the RNG timer limitation to get another one. How is this fair?

I'm not saying to get rid of the RNG timer, but something needs to be done for those who want actual houses and not apartments and don't have them, and if people trying to get their first house are subject to an RNG timer to prevent purchase, then people who're moving should damn well be limited too.
