+ | Squatter no longer fully works as described in this wiki for the version 6.1 lottery system. Squatter will still scan for available plots in 6.1, and will travel to plots you specify for acquisition. As the lottery system becomes better understood, Squatter will be updated to provide other features that might be helpful to managing the lottery. | ||

The goal is to get you at a plot that you can buy the quickest - the longer a plot has been on the market, the shorter the amount of time you will likely need to spend at it spamming its placard. When there are multiple plots available, this scheme tends to maximize your ability to acquire plots over time, as you won't be wasting time at a plot that just came on the market if others have been on longer, thereby potentially missing buy opportunities. | + | |

If that initial information is insufficient for me to determine the cause, I will ask you to set other debug settings that will provide more information. Squatter has been very stable after many months of use, but it is also a very complex piece of software, and can be negatively affected by a number of factors over which I have no control, not the least of which is what other addons you run. I appreciate your patience in working with me to solve your issue when it is not slam-dunk easy. As long as you are willing to try the debugging measures I request, I will work with you until your problem is solved. | If that initial information is insufficient for me to determine the cause, I will ask you to set other debug settings that will provide more information.
