Instanced
Housing
That is all.
This truly is long overdue. There are literally 2-3 people that stranglehold every single plot on Atlantic and large plots on other shards, with as mentioned the one guy getting most of them. This needs to be done yesterday, and this is coming from me, a player that is 100% content with their housing and will never buy another house as long as I play. It needs a complete overhaul. Seriously. In the mean time put all house plots on a raffle and then give the winner 24h to place.
Also, this is not by trying to place with 50 accounts on 1s intervals, this is an exploit that the constellation client allows them to do, fully unattended and FASTER than anyone manually can place.
If this is not fixed the devs themselves need to get banned for griefing the game for this long. It's clear they don't play.
Fix the placement tool by getting rid of the delay/timeout function. I get that it was an attempt to slow the botters/scripters down, but obviously it doesn't work and only hurts legitimate players.It irritates the heck out of those of us who are legitimately poking around various parts of our shards and looking at what fits.
When I find a spot and I want to know what size will fit, rather than tear my hear out and mess with trying to figure out when the interval is up, it's faster for me to literally log out, log into Atlantic, and ride horseback from the nearest moongate and see what others have placed (or even hop on other shards and look). So frustrating and nearly caused me to stop my subscription when I came back and was figuring out where I was going to place a house. Now I'm looking for a spot for my kids on another account we are re-subscribing, and it's just frustrating.
I agree the delay is a mess for legit players.
