Lottery Bad Luck Protection

[Reinha]

Indeed, I do want a system that gives better odds to persistent players. You see all the salty posts around and admittedly I am salty after losing several mediums to people that have left them to rot since the lottery system first started and they clearly had no interest in housing in the first place, yet got lucky and won. And just checked the last 2 mediums I lost on...both houses have no gardens, one of them has no aetheryte and both of them have no summoning bells inside, nor decorations. Quite frankly, it's depressing for myself and others who are genuinely interested and love housing that you can bang your head against a brick wall every 9 days because your 20th attempt on a house amounted to nothing whilst some first timer comes along and wins...

You don't know that they are first timers or that they aren't going to decorate at some point. There's no reason to get angry at how other people choose to play the game. They have to bid all the time because in a random system there is no knowing when they're going to win, and sometimes people win when they are busy with other things. Your suggestion would further encourage people to keep bidding even if they are not that interested in housing at the moment.

What you are asking for is a queue thinking you will be at the front of it, which is basically the most convenient and beneficial system for you. What if bad luck protection was only offered to people who have been playing for more than 6 years and have never owned a house? Would you still want their bid to have more weight than yours on those mediums you are looking for?
