    Lottery idea

    instead of it being 5 days to allow bids and 4 days to claim. How about 2 days to bid and 2 days to claim. I think that is fair enough and lotteries would be shorter. 5 days to bid is just to long and unnecessary. 2 days are fair enough imo

    I believe it's built around the fact that most Japanese are unable to login until their days off, so they work their schedule around their schedules.

    People trying to find ways to increase their chances lol. The old system was better for that. The lottery is more fair, but seriously. Good luck getting a house!

    Even if you didn't click for hours at a time at a single placard, the old system had better chances for attaining a house.

    I am really happy to have had the chance to be at a time when we could sell our houses at the prices we wanted and buy them right away according to the sellers' prices

    So yes there could be abuses even often but it's 100 000 times better than the horrible systems of now which incite nobody to sell his house I have plenty of houses and I would never sell any because in the current system I would sell at a loss

    It still required due diligence. Now you just toss your name in a box and carry on with your business.

    All this sounds like is a case of whichever system you got your house with, is clearly the better system. The reality of the matter is no matter what system they use, all it does is rearrange furniture on the titanic.
