I would be one of those people sadly, the last live letter made it clear that ALL wards being released in 61, I gave up a large personal to move and I would not have done so had they been transparent about this at the launch of the data centre.

Be that as it may, the challenge now is to come together as a community to at least try to make a case for setting up the lottery system to be less punishing than the current proposal is going to be.

As you say, people will wait until the last minute to bid with the system that has been proposed and it is going to be chaotic at best.

Nothing is set in stone until the patch drops, though and the devs have a track record of listening to player concerns so let's make a case for changes that will make the process better while we still have a chance to be heard.
