Easiest way would be to tie it to either the daily or weekly reset(honestly daily would be long enough, but if you wanted to be harsh you could set it to the week). If you need to wait til tomorrow, you probly arent getting your original lot back so the number of people who would be willing to transfer to troll would be greatly reduced. 2. If someone transfers into a lot, rather then re-starting the random purchase timer just transfer the time remaining over to the newly opened lot. This ensures the timer is always getting closer to 0 and a transfer no longer changes how long someone would have to wait for their purchase.
I mean, do you guys even have proof that people relocate back to their previous plot? Cause I really don't see this happening outside of Small to Small relocation, since any other relocation you run the risk of someone else relocating into your old Medium or Large house. And unless the clicker bot had more than 3M gil on them, you end up losing money if you relocate back and forth.

And your 2nd suggestion would make the whole issue worse??? Since the argument on this thread about why relocation = bad is that people that are legit waiting 12+ hours and clicking wasted their time, which would only be exacerbated if you waited 12 hours, someone relocates, and by the time you find out where the original plot is the timer expired and someone else who just happened by it bought it.

They've already announced work on a lottery system for EW which would fix all current problems.
