Are the devs going to do something about the housing purchase timer?

Yeah, last time I spend 18 hours mindlessly clicking the placard. I was even alone most of the time I spend there, then I saw some player running towards the placard so I quickly tried to buy the plot again but still no luck and they just relocated their house.

In total I've spend almost 70 hours in the course of several weeks and have always lost the plot to somebody relocating.

Relocating should have the same random timer as buying, that would fix this issue at least.

Case in point right here ^. Along with someone posting that interview of him saying they have no plans to change the system for the exact reason why I'm bringing up this argument. So I ask you now devs, why exactly are you punishing an entire community for what a bunch of RMT and resellers have done? At the very least, change the relocation rules and shorten the timer so people aren't blowing an entire day for something like this. What happened to making the game something you don't have to devote your entire day to? This system counteracts that point completely.

Very simple - they aren't trying to punish the community in any way, they are trying to stop RMT and house resellers. That some people are hurt by the system is collateral damage, not punishment.
