The worst I've done was trying to buy a guild house. I think 4-5 of us stood around the target placard for 4-6 hours just clicking. Mostly it was click through the menus, pause, repeat but a known flipper showed up occasionally so then it was a mad clickfest until they got bored and left. I did get a personal house right before ShB when a whole bunch of plots opened up in a similar situation to this one. I got another on an alt completely by accident. A nice-ish spot (#22) in the Mist was open and I was curious. Probably should have stuck my gil on a retainer first but oh well.

I had some high RP hopes for the first plot but the combination of the atrocious chat implementation plus how much of a let down XIV housing was compared to Wildstar I've pretty much left it to rot.
