    You misunderstand. I don't like the idea because it's not fixing the root of the issue which is the very limited number of houses. I would prefer a system that cannot be abused by bots and house hoarders, which would be proper instanced housing. If we had that instead there would be no need for demolition, placard timers, using bots to compete in the housing market, or threads like this one.

    I'm not a fan of band-aid fixes but at this point it's clear we will get little more than that from SE.

    What was there to misunderstand? You literally never said anything about limited house numbers. You suggested one-time passwords as a way to prevent bots from buying houses, you didn't say anything about instanced housing.

    Clearly you're arguing something different in your head, so I'll just let you continue doing that by yourself.

    I didn't go into detail but I did make it clear that I recognise that suggestions like OP made are necessary because SE have no intention of changing the housing system. I thought that comment made it pretty obvious that I'm unhappy with how the system works even if I didn't say exactly why.

    I'd rather SE just make a better system instead of have players jump through even more hoops to get a house.

So with this in mind players think about ways to make it more difficult for bots to game the system, and the one-time password and/or captchas are things that could very greatly inhibit them.

    An in game pop up (In game...not cell phone app or anything) requiring you to enter a code that pops up on the screen after you win the the plot would be a great idea. Randomized code. 3 to 5 mins to respond. If you dont you lose the plot and get your cash back.

    CAPTCHA can be difficult to read for people with partial vision. It would be quite annoying to spend 12 hours clicking actively, win, then get a captcha wrong three times and lose it. It's better they address the root cause, than throwing more and more complexity at the problem.

    They could design a script to do the captcha.

    Now this is one idea I can get behind. Got my support on this one
