Lottery Bad Luck Protection

[Jojoya]

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?

It doesn't matter how many times this gets mentioned. It will not work.

Bad luck protection works in systems where it's the player competing solely against the game's RNG system to get a reward. It doesn't work when the player is competing against other players. Too many players will end up with that same bad lock protection, negating any potential benefit.

In overpopulated worlds and without auto-demolition, then yes. In other worlds, this may actually be a reasonable thing, especially when new wards get implemented and housing districts, the amount of people vying for larger properties, and properties in general will drop off over time. On top of that, the next housing district would have 30 wards.

Working on Balmung? Not unless players decide to actually relocated to less populated worlds.
