if it's going to be random anyways..

[GU099]

Listen, please hear me out..
These timers are awful. it's random, there is no clue when it will release and things can be bought.
If it's going to be random anyways, why not just put this lottery system in place.. We all know SE loves it's RNG.. so if we are going to have a 99% chance at failure, at least don't make us suffer for 24 hours over it.

SE is obviously too lazy to make things instanced or bearable.. I mean a timer that is random and can be anywhere from 30 mins-24 hours.. just let people place themselves in the lottery and leave it at that.. Then people can rest, medicate, go to their jobs, ect.

There is no excuse for this type of punishment to players. People have lives, but we shouldn't have to sit here and loathe each other cause we need/want a house.

And no, I'm not defending SE on this absurd laziness to fix a horrendous aspect of the game. But as it is, this is probably the only option they are probably willing to accept.

You know that friend you have that rolls that minion you wanted every dungeon run and gets it 5 times in a row?
Or that friend who you go with to those player events where they roll random numbers and give out prizes and he/she wins like 8 times while you only once?
How about that friend who always ends up with a better grouping of random players in their roulette while you get paired with all the useless people every single time?

Yeah that randomness can happen here too and will. And you know all these people will rage when people start posting how they've won lottery more than once on several occasions. And then we'll be here again with people saying lottery was the worst idea and how whoever came up with it is a POS.

Now if I was one of those house flippers, how would I bypass a lottery... hmmmmmm oh right, multiple accounts logged in on multiple computers to participate in the lottery giving myself the clear advantage in probability of winning. That would be so much better than clicking a placard for hours when I can just call up multiple accounts and friends with multiple accounts and we just mass apply for houses with an advantageous #. Power in numbers baby
