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!"
FCFS is the most fair system actually.

Walk up to plot, purchase and claim, end of story.

Oh and I did have a house under the old system, had to get one multiple times due to server transfering, and I never had issues, always went for small goblet, extremely few people, and then upgraded with instant relo.
