No one in their right mind could expect a player to get to a plot, see there is someone already there, and say to themselves , "Well, he was here first, guess I'll go away."

That would require the naivety of a child. It's clearly functioning as intended. And it would work fine if they updated the requirements, but it's like a half-finished project that was abandoned with the way it is now.

It could be great, if only they just tweaked it a bit!

Well, at least they added more houses.
It's not a mechanic, you can easily come check out the plot, hit it twice and then leave and try again later. Where does it say you have to stand there all day and camp? It doesn't, some just think they have to because of the hope that it will pop right away and that's how you waste your time and day.

I've seen plenty of people show up and leave only to come back hours later. That's literally how I lost my first plot.
