No...this new system, while it has its faults, is ENDLESSLY better than the old system. Anyone who says otherwise never had a house in the old system, I'm convinced.

Clicking on a sign for hours only to lose to someone who came right up and bought it because they relocated and thus overwrote the timer.

Or losing it to someone who came up at just the right second.

Or how about logging on at 5AM on a patch day to try and RUN to your desired plot before anyone else got there.

The fact is, without instanced housing the lottery system is absolutely the fairest method and the only thing that would make it fairer would be something dumb like "one house per account per server".

This thread reeks of "I lost the lottery today!"
