On one hand everyone knowing a set time is a good thing, giving them all a chance. The downside is that it will likely lead to a toxic environment rather quickly with groups of people trying to overload people so they dc, opening trade on people that forget to /busy beforehand, putting huge mounts over the placard and a negative chat environment trying to dissuade others from taking the plot they want.

Well then maybe you can report them.
But indeed it'd need precautions ^^
As for legit donation, I hope they would implement such a system before locking out for a few days after a relinquish. -

Currently, if you relinquish land, it goes up for sale immediately. For the abandoned after 45 days thing I believe there is a random timer after the 45 day that makes it go up.
The issue with the 45 days thing is that people literally have to camp the aetheryte for a chance that may never happen. -

Also restricting how many houses account can hold would fix some of the problems... I can already see how many plots will be bought by alts of rich crafters who already own multiple houses between their alts.

Agree with you 100% Samaeliza. At the moment we have a system that is unnecessarily punitive to people who take breaks, but at the same time there is no limit on the number of houses one person can own.
To clarify what I mean by 'punitive': I've no problem with unused houses being reclaimed, since housing is in such short supply, but some furniture breaking on removal and then putting the surviving contents onto a timer too, seems excessively harsh.
One house per server, per account would be fair to everyone as long as that house could be shared by the owner's alts. -

Whats the use of buying houses on alts though? Trust me i have the money to do so, But i don't see the point.
1. In my honest opinion, its very unfair for the other people as we have a limited amounts of houses to begin with.
2. I rather spend money on making someone else happy instead buying a house on a alt i rarely use lol, i did buy my brother a house/fc a house. But For the love of god, What is the use of a house on a alt i would not even log in on a daily or weekly basis.
Sure some people spend more time on their alts but still, Why be greedy in this circumstance? Am i really that stupid or naive to rather be homeless on my alt so there would be one more happy house owner in the geme? -
