Ok, SE...seriously, this whole housing situation is becoming incredibly frustrating.

This isn't just a rant in which I'm complaining about not getting a house. No, this is a rant about having to spend exorbitant amounts of time waiting for a house, only to have players start continuously relocating, continuously resetting the market probationary timer.

It's gotten to the point of abuse. So much so, that I'm starting to see a pattern of the same players relocating in order to give their friends a favorable estimated timeframe (when there's less competition) at odd hours in the night to camp for their house.

So, I propose the following petition to SE:

When a plot is auto-demolished due to non-use, place a restriction that both prevents players from buying AND relocating to that plot for a random period of time.

I'm even willing to accept a compromise, in which this restriction can be bypassed in the case of upgrading from a smaller plot to a larger one.
