This game has successfully made some rather conventionally boring MMO mechanics quite fun. When it comes to buying a house, however, there is nothing fun or entertaining about this system.

I don't mind housing being limited or having to "earn" the plot. I don't mind sitting there for hours and chatting with other people. I don't mind having an equal chance at the plot along with a large crowd of 10-20 people.

What I do mind is having to click a placard along with everyone else every 2 seconds. That's up to a potential of 43,200 clicks on a 24 hour timer for a roughly 5-10% chance at the house. Didn't get it? Rinse and repeat. If I'm using key binds, it's up to 259,200 key presses. Insanity.

The human body was not designed for this. There is a better way.
