Well, clearly you sound a little on edge about that. And i feel ya - i did get a house a couple weeks ago, after afk brainclicking during two or three days. But at that point, i do not think it is really useful to angrily post about something we all know by now (except all the WoW players thingy, i don't get your point here).

The system is bad, yes. And Square Enix DO know that, and i believe they are constatly putting their mind into finding solutions that could befit the majority (lotery in 6.1 is already a step in the good direction).

Anyway, don't go camping, ruining your fun, and be salty about it ^^'. Be patient, or camp in turns with other people of your FC.
There is also some Discord Servers that can help you in getting better with that odd housing system.

Like the others said : Relax and have fun
