You think it is fair that people can transfer gil to another character and buy up multiple plots to sell for 5 times their value? Because this is exactly the reason the timer was added.

Granted, this still happens via shell fc's, but people are more reluctant to abandon their current fc's or live in an empty fc for the sake of a house.

Raffles have been debunked as a solution because it mathematically gives you less chance of getting a house. You'll not just be competing with the clickers but you'll be competing with more players who will see this as an opportunity to get a house without spending hours clicking and quite likely, their alternative characters, because let's face it, if someone wants a house that badly, why would they stop at just 1 character when they can have 8 going for it
