Lottery Bad Luck Protection

[Elevin]

What do people think of a bad luck protection system for the lottery? For each plot you lose on, you get an extra ticket for next time until you win at which point it would be reset back to 1.

This would mean that persistent players who will bid each week on every and any plot will increasingly have their chances increased at getting a house and it will mean newcomers and people that are picky about plots will get drastically reduced chances?

Is this a fair system do you think?

I think the lotto system needs to be abolished and we can go back to placard clicking.

Yeah! Only people with no jobs and carpal tunnel should be allowed houses, they earned it!

Yes, but sincerely.

The only people getting houses in this scenario are the RMTers and botters reselling FC houses.

Yes, but sincerely.

Wow, not even trying to hide your toxic ideals behind some disingenuous fallacy argument. Respect.

Demonstrably not true, everyone gets a fair shot.
And who do you think was getting houses before the lottery system? What kind of people have auto-clicking software readily available?

Yes, let's give people something so easily and so hastily cuz they "have a job you know."

Equal opportunity shouldn't mean equal outcomes.

You read me wrong, friend. I was talking about the placard click system, the lotto can't be botted.

I think having a pity rate system would be great but the implementation is difficult. Your proposition has some flaws, firstly I think one extra ticket per lost lottery is too fast as an accumulation rate. Also if a pity rate build up system was introduced we'd probably see people find ways and methods to game the system and "farm" it, one example I can think of is a random small plot on every world becoming a "farm" plot with like 400 bidders who all just placed their bids in an effort to lose and accumulate pity rate.

This.
You will have player who farm the pity as high as possible just to then use it on the big house in prime location.

In the end it will reward the system abuser that create multiple accounts and organize with other player of false intentions.
