Best bet is to (a) stop caring or (b) cancel sub.
If people were always running up and winning the plot, they were probably relocating which bypasses the timer. It's why people often suggest on the forums that someone has enough gil to buy a starter or throwaway home (small, probably goblet outer ring). If you own a home, it's much easier to get the home you actually want.
